The boxing weekend offered little activity that significantly impacted the division rankings.
Jaron “Boots” Ennis formally debuted at 154 pounds with a resounding victory over Uisma Lima on Saturday in Philadelphia, sending a warning signal to the rest of the division.
Ennis knocked down Lima twice in the first round before the referee stopped the fight at 1:58 of the round. Although Lima did not represent a great test for Ennis, the impressive performance of the former unified welterweight champion was enough for him to debut at number 3 in the super welterweight rankings.
Yoenli Hernández, the number 8 middleweight, scored a first-round victory by dominating veteran Ramon De La Cruz Sena on Sunday in Florida, in what was nothing more than a fight to stay active.
Hernández sent Sena to the canvas with a body shot in the first minute of the fight, and Sena never had much of a chance. He managed to make it to the end of the first round, but the fight was stopped before the start of the second round. Hernández remains in the number 8 spot and is awaiting a real challenge in his next fight.
Boxing rankings by division highlight the best in the sport in each weight category. Rankings will change based on recent results and performances. Boxers who have announced they are moving to a different weight category will be ranked in that new division, if applicable, only once they fight in that weight category. Boxers who currently hold titles in two divisions may be ranked in both.
Boxers who have not competed in the last 12 months, and do not have a scheduled fight, will be removed from the rankings until they fight again. Any boxer who tests positive for a performance-enhancing substance will also be removed. That boxer will be eligible to re-enter the rankings after their next fight.
