January 2021 Ratings – Updates
*A fighter is typically removed from our ratings, if she has been inactive from her weight class for 12 months, and still has no fight scheduled. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, few fights have been taking place, so extra allowances have been given.
Junior Bantamweight
Guadalupe Martinez Guzman lost a 10 round unanimous decision, and her WBC belt, to Lourdes Juarez on December 12th, and so drops to #2. Lourdes enters at #1. Mayeli Flores exits due to inactivity in this weight class, as even her last fight in April 2019, was at 116lbs.
Super Middleweight
Christina Hammer KO’d Sanna Tururen in the 7th round on December 20th to win the vacant IBF title at 168lbs, resulting in her entering our super middleweight ratings at #2. Leatitia Robinson exits. Cederroos, Marshall, and Napoleon Espinosa drop to #3, #4, and #5 respectively.
Pound-For-Pound: Our overall Pound-for-Pound top 10 is now worked out by allocating points to each panelist’s top 10, and totaling the figures – so, 10 points for each panelist’s #1, 9 points for #2...1 point for #10.
