Crawford Crowned in Super Middleweight<\/h2>\n\n\nTerence “Bud” Crawford demonstrated his superiority by defeating Canelo \u00c1lvarez, achieving a unanimous decision victory that catapulted him to the top of the super middleweight division. With this triumph, Crawford leaves his position at 154 pounds and becomes the new king of 168 pounds, while Canelo descends to second place.\n\nIn the same event, Lester Mart\u00ednez secured a place in the super middleweight rankings after a split draw against WBC interim champion Christian Mbilli. Despite a solid performance by Mart\u00ednez, who demonstrated resilience and good physical condition, the fight ended in a draw. Mbilli, although retaining his interim belt, fell to fifth place, while Mart\u00ednez rose to sixth.\n\n

Inoue and Medina: Dominance in Other Divisions<\/h2>\n\nIn Japan, Naoya Inoue, another outstanding pound-for-pound boxer, demonstrated his intelligence in the ring by dominating Murodjon Akhmadliev and retaining his undisputed super bantamweight title by unanimous decision. Inoue consolidates his position at the top of the division, while Akhmadliev maintains his place at number 3.\n\nAdditionally, Christian Medina surprised by defeating Yoshiki Takei by technical knockout in the fourth round, winning the WBO world title in the co-main event Inoue-Akhmadliev. Medina debuted in the rankings in third place, while Takei suffered his first professional defeat and fell to fourth place.\n\nAlofoke Deportes’ rankings highlight the best boxers in each division, and are updated according to recent results and performances. Boxers who change weight categories will be incorporated into the new division once they compete in it. Champions holding titles in multiple divisions may be ranked in both.\n\nBoxers inactive for more than 12 months, with no scheduled fights, will be removed from the rankings until they compete again. Likewise, any boxer who tests positive for performance-enhancing substances will be eliminated and may re-enter after their next fight.\n\n\n
