July Updates
Heavyweight
Claressa Shields made her debut at heavyweight, thrashing #3-ranked, Vanessa LePage-Joanisse, stopping her 69 seconds of the second round. Shields is now #1, with Daniels, Miller and Meleisea all moving down one place, and Razel Mohammed exiting the ratings. A fight between Shields and Lani Daniels (#2) would crown a Lineal Champion.
Che Kenneally replaces Alrie Meleisea at #5, after stopping Angie Rocha at the end of round round three on July 20.
Super Middleweight
Sonya Dreiling, who has lost two consecutive fights at junior middleweight, exits the ratings. Curry and Watpool each move up one place. Mary Casamassa, 5-0, enters at #5.
Junior middleweight
Terri Harper exits, as she is now focusing on lighter weight classes, leaving Hermans, Braekhus, Kozin and Spencer to each move up one place. Oshae Jones enters at #5.
Junior Welterweight
Amanda Serrano annihilated Stevie Morgan, stopping her in round two, in what was essentially a junior welterweight tune-up for the featherweight queen, who has a rematch with Katie Taylor on November 15. Taylor/Serrano II had originally meant to take place on July 20, as the chief supporting fight to Mike Tyson/Jake Paul, but an illness to Mike Tyson (the headline fight Tyson/Paul), caused a four/month delay to the event.
Serrano enters at #2, with Zamora, Derieuw and Worthington each dropping one place. Marie Houle exits the ratings.
Featherweight
Skye Nicholson’s comfortable unanimous decision over #1-ranked, Sarah Mahfoud, followed up with a white wash of Dyana Vargas on July 13, puts the Australian at the top of the ratings. Chapman moves ahead of Ramos, after unanimously outpointing Yahana Sarabia on July 27. Mahfoud and Meinke drop one place and Daniela Bermudez exits.
