There was no movement is the Pound for Pound ratings.
Junior Welterweight: No. 10-rated Viktor Postol (25-0-0, 10 knockouts) won a unanimous 10-round decision over unrated Behzod Nabiev. Rios (31-2-1, 23 KOs), formerly the No. 7-rated junior welterweight, tested positive for a banned substance in his post-fight drug test after the Pacquiao fight.
According to the magazine?s ratings policy: ?THE RING will remove from its ratings any rated fighter, including a champion, if such fighter at some point undergoes drug testing (Olympic style or otherwise) and that fighter tests positive for a banned substance? a fighter who is removed because of a positive test will have the opportunity to earn his way back into the ratings after any suspension period is completed. A fighter who is dropped also may be reinstated if the testing agency subsequently reverses its decision or a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the test result was invalid.?
Thus, Rios will be removed from the ratings. Everyone else will move up one spot and Selcuk Aydin (26-2, 19 KOs) will enter at No. 10.
Featherweight: No. 6-rated Chris John (48-1-3, 22 KOs) has retired, prompting the following changes in the ratings: Everyone moves up one spot and Nonito Donaire (32-2, 21 KOs) re-enters at No. 10.
Junior Featherweight: No. 5-rated Kiko Martinez (30-4, 22 KOs) stopped No. 2-rated Jeffrey Mathebula (27-4-2, 14 KOs) in the ninth round of his IBF title defense. The changes to the 122-pound rankings are as follows: Leo Santa Cruz (26-0-1, 15 KOs) moves to No. 2; Martinez to No. 3; Vic Darchinyan (39-6-1, 28 KOs) remains at No. 4; Victor Terrazas (37-3-1, 21 KOs) to No. 5; Scott Quigg, (27-0-2, 20 KOs) to No. 6; Cristian Mijares (49-7-2, 24 KOs) to No. 7; Jeffrey Mathebula (27-4-2 14 KOs) falls to No. 8; Jhonathan Romero (23-1, 12 KOs) remains at No. 9 and Fernando Montiel (50-4-2, 38 KOs) remains at No. 10.
