A Super Middleweight clash of contenders saw #1-ranked David Benavidez stop #9-ranked Demetrius Andrade in six rounds. Andrade, who has been criticized on the forum (by this fellow New Englander) for fighting not much more than once a year during his prime, could not handle his first real test. He drops to #10 and was lucky he wasn’t voted out of the rankings altogether – the vote was close. As for Benavidez, he  looks like Beowulf under King Canelo,

Two contenders bow out of the rankings due to inactivity: Michael Zerafa (#7, Middleweight) makes way for Vincenzo Gualtieri and Rey Vargas (#3, Featherweight) exits and Josh Warrington returns to #10. 

At Jr. Welterweight, Subriel Matias looked world class in stopping undefeated Shohjahon Ergashev. He moves up from #6 to #2. At Jr. Lightweight, Lamont Roach return to the rankings after taking a decision over #6-ranked Hector Garcia. Garcia falls to #9. Liam Wilson is bumped out.
