The Ring's ratings panel have been busy, as there are ranking changes in EIGHT divisions following the weekend's action.
Anthony Cacace became a two-time 130-pound champion by outpointing Jazza Dickens to win the WBA title in Dublin, live on DAZN. Also on that card, Pierce O'Leary battered and stopped Max Hughes inside five rounds.
On the same night, Arnold Barboza beat Kenneth Sims in his welterweight debut at Anaheim's Honda Center. On the undercard, The Ring, WBO and WBA strawweight champion Oscar Collazo defended his titles by stopping Jesus Haro in six rounds.
There was also action on Friday night as Najee Lopez overcame Manuel Gallegos in a brutal fight, winning by eighth-round knockout.
On Sunday, Riku Masuda moved himself to within touching distance of a world title shot, beating Filipino legend Nonito Donaire by eighth-round TKO in Yokohama, Japan.
Scroll down to read the alterations.
