Ryan Garcia says he’s at 140 now, so he’s ranked at 140 now, plus extra on this week’s replace.
Rankings go up on Mondays. No replace subsequent week. There’s simply not close to sufficient meat on the bone for a complete put up subsequent week. Truthfully, there’s probably not sufficient of consequence for 2 weeks from now, both, however I don’t need to go three. So we’ll do one in two weeks, subsequent one comes on Aug. 1.
Ranked fights the following two weeks:
Upcoming Fights: (2) Oleksandr Usyk vs (4) Anthony Joshua, Aug. 20 … (5) Andy Ruiz Jr vs (9) Luis Ortiz, Sept. 4 … (6) Joe Joyce vs TBA, Sept. 24
Upcoming Fights: TBA

Upcoming Fights: (1) Jermell Charlo vs (4) Tim Tszyu, Jan. 28
Notes: A lot ready on the Spence vs Crawford domino to fall, both means it falls.
Upcoming Fights: (6) Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Michael McKinson, Aug. 6
Notes: Ryan Garcia says he’s staying at 140 after his win over Javier Fortuna, so I’m placing him at 140. If he alters his thoughts I can transfer him again to 135, who provides a shit? That is all make consider.
Each of Garcia’s fights this yr have been on this division, technically. Is thrashing Emmanuel Tagoe and Fortuna sufficient to rank him at 140? I feel so, yeah, given his expertise stage, which I consider could be very apparent. And Montana Love is the man who falls out, what’s he achieved that’s any extra, actually?
In reality, I’d decide Garcia to beat anybody else within the again half of this prime 10, and confidently. The highest 5, nonetheless — might be a unique story. All these guys can legit combat, they’re actually good. Perhaps nonetheless overlooking a man, I admit, however I’d decide him to beat Catterall, who I feel had an awesome evening whereas Josh Taylor had a extremely unhealthy one. However Taylor on level, Prograis, Ramirez, Zepeda — these dudes can go, and so they’ve achieved it at excessive stage, typically with each other.
I do assume Garcia is a real big prospect as a fighter. Mentality and all that, we’ll see. We’ll get into rather more of that on the podcast tomorrow.
Upcoming Fights: (6) Batyr Akhmedov vs Alberto Puello, Aug. 20 … (9) Jose Pedraza vs Richard Commey, Aug. 27

Upcoming Fights: TBA
Upcoming Fights: TBA
Notes: Kazuto Ioka took care of enterprise in an pointless rematch with Donnie Nietes, and now hopefully he’ll get his want to unify with somebody. He deserves it; he’s been an underrated nice fighter over his profession, probably the greatest of his era.
Upcoming Fights: (1) Juan Francisco Estrada vs (5) Joshua Franco, Aug. 20 … (4) Jesse Rodriguez vs Israel Gonzalez, Sept. 17
Notes: David Jimenez crashes the celebration at 112, upsetting Ricardo Sandoval in a really aggressive combat on the Garcia vs Fortuna undercard on Saturday. I scored the combat for Sandoval, however seven rounds to 5 with some swing rounds, it simply might have gone the opposite means on my piece of paper, and it did on the items that rely.
Is Jimenez an actual risk to the highest of the division? Most likely not. However he fought his ass off and eked out a win. If he needed to have a crack at actual contender standing, he wanted that one; he’s 30, he’s from Costa Rica — nothing towards Costa Rica, however it’s not a hotbed of boxing expertise and doesn’t include a giant viewers for advertising functions.
Sandoval continues to be right here, nonetheless principally fought fairly properly, and he’s 23. He has time nonetheless.
Upcoming Fights: TBA
Notes: Daniel Matellon picked up a win on the weekend. Nothing a lot to it, however will get him lively.
Upcoming Fights: (7) Masamichi Yabuki vs Thanongsak Simsri, Aug. 11
Notes: Oscar Collazo is available in at No. 7 with a really strong win over former titleholder Victorio Saludar. Erick Rosa barely — and in debated vogue — slipped by Saludar in his final combat, so I can’t assist however see Collazo of deserving a spot for the way in which he beat Saludar, who continues to be a troublesome professional.
Upcoming Fights: (2) Knockout CP Freshmart vs (3) Wanheng Menayothin, July 20 … (1) Petchmanee CP Freshmart vs Tsubasa Koura, Aug. 30
