SUPER-MIDDLEWEIGHT:

Number one Arthur Abraham (43-4, 29 KOs) forced the corner of previous number four Robert Stieglitz (47-5-1, 27 KOs) to throw in the towel in round six after Stieglitz went down from a big shot. Stieglitz beat the count but his corner had seen enough. Stieglitz tumbles to seventh. Fedor Chundinov (13-0, 10 KOs) moves up a place to fourth. Andre Dirrell (24-2, 16 KOs) leapfrogs from seventh to fifth.

LIGHTWEIGHT:

Number six Denis Shafikov (36-1-1, 20 KOs) stopped unrated Roy Mukhlis (27-5-3, 21 KOs) in the third round. No changes.

SUPER-BANTAMWEIGHT:

Number one Carl Frampton (21-0, 14 KOs) survived a major scare rising from two first round knock downs to win a twelve round unanimous decision over unrated Alejandro Gonzalez Jr (25-2-2, 15 KOs). Scott Quigg (31-0-2, 23 KOs) advances from third to second after annihilating previous number five Kiko Martinez (32-6, 24 KOs) in two rounds. Quigg dropped Martinez twice in the second round to force the stoppage. Martinez slumps a spot to sixth. Leo Santa Cruz (30-0-1, 17 KOs) shuffles down a spot from second to third. Number four Nonito Donaire (35-3, 23 KOs) scored a second round stoppage over unrated Anthony Settoul (20-4, 8 KOs). Genesis Servania (26-0, 11 KOs) moves up a place from sixth to fifth.

McJoe Arroyo (17-0, 8 KOs) enters at number ten after winning a questionable ten round unanimous technical decision over number eight Arthur Villanueva (27-1, 14 KOs). A cut above the right eye of Villanueva lead the ringside doctor to stop the contest. David Sanchez (28-2-2, 22 KOs) previously tenth is squeezed out of the top ten for now.

So Pascal goes down one beating Gonzales who goes up one in position? Very strange that should happen.

Pascal was demoted because although he got the decision over Gonzalez I felt he would have been very lucky to get a draw. Some have called the fight a robbery. I thought it was close but that Pascal hadn't done enough to win. Pascal was coming off a loss; add to that a debatable win over a previously unranked fighter and the demotion seems fair.

Gonzalez enters due his performance even though he was the official loser on the cards. He fought a top 10 contender to a questionable decision loss.

That is subjective, as many people had Pascal winning and it was close not a robbery.

Like I said I had Gonzalez winning. I have watched the fight numerous times and the best I could give Pascal would have been a draw. The majority of the time I scored it to Gonzalez by a round. I think that is reflected in the rankings. Gonzalez deserved to enter and Pascal was only demoted a spot as I could see the possibility of a draw. But ultimately I thought Gonzalez had done enough to win.

You could compare it to yesterday's Payano vs Warren Bout. That fight was also close but I thought the right guy got the decision. Warren could have arguably got a draw but the 2 two times I have watched it I thought Payano won. Warren definitely advanced to just outside the 10 along with Rodrigo Guerrero and Lee Haskins, but unlike the Pascal/ Gonzalez fight I didn't think Warren won.

Danny Garcia is now officially a Welterweight.

MIDDLEWEIGHT:

Number nine Daniel Jacobs (30-1, 27 KOs) traded first round knockdowns with fringe contender Sergio Mora (28-4-2, 9 KOs). Mora went down again in the second where he suffered an injury to his right ankle and was unable to continue. Jacobs was awarded a second round stoppage victory. No changes.

WELTERWEIGHT:

Former Super-Lightweight Champion Danny Garcia (31-0, 18 KOs) enters at number ten after scoring a ninth round stoppage over veteran fringe contender Paul Malignaggi (33-7, 7 KOs). Previous number ten Robert Guerrero (33-3-1, 18 KOs) exits to make room for Garcia.

Shouldn't Walters exit the Featherweight rankings? He missed weight and was stripped of his title last time he fought. He's huge for 126. I can't see him fighting there again

A fighter is considered active in a weight class if they fight within 2 pounds of the weight limit (although a Championship must be defended at or under the weight limit). Walters managed to get down to 127 so he still has until June next year before the inactivity clause kicks in.

I agree he is big for the weight class but according to his adviser Robert Mittleman he is staying at Featherweight for now.

I can not see Walters fight at featherweight again.
