The Ring updated
their ratings for the week.
Manny Pacquiao is crowned Ring Junior Lightweight Champion (the first since 1987) after winning a split decision vs. Juan Manuel Marquez in a fight between #1 and #2 rated fighters. Marquez assumes the division's #1 spot. All others from last week's chart move up with Rocky Juarez debuting at #10.
Hozumi Hasegawa remains #1 in the bantamweight chart after winning a unanimous decision against last week's #9, Simone Maludrottu. Abner Mares debuts, taking Maludrottu's slot after
a kayo victory over Diosdado Gabi.
The pound-for-pound chart is unchanged after polling.
