Cruiserweight Richard Riakporhe takes advantage of one of the weaker top tens by stopping faded former contender Krysztof Glowacki in 4 rounds to move up from #7 to #4. This is the kind of win that would be ignored in the red-hot lightweight division.

Lerrone Richards exits the Super Middleweight rankings after inactivity, albeit a little belatedly due to an injury. Vladimir Shishkin was recently bumped out but now returns to #10.

Liam Smith is now a two-division contender. Ranked at #9 at jr. middleweight, he is now ranked #4 at Middleweight after a surprising -and impressive-stoppage win over former #4 contender Chris Eubank Jr.  Smith said he is open to fighting in his former division as well and we allow for fighters to earn rankings in more than one division at once. Eubank exits with the devastating loss, though several members thought he should hang on at #8 or #10. 

Isaac Dogboe returns, once again, to the Featherweight rankings as the inactive Gary Russell Jr. exits from his #5 spot. Russell, though undeniably talented, is one of those part-time fighters. We’ve been lucky to see him fight once a year since 2014. Tweet this: Since 2014, Dogboe has fought 22 times. Russell? He’s fought a lousy 7 times.
