Welterweight/Jr. Welterweight: Danny Garcia announced prior to his bout with Paulie Malignaggi his intention to campaign full time going forward as a Welterweight. His stoppage of the former titlist earns him entry to the top ten at 147. After over a year without a title defense, his now clear intentions result in listing the title at 140 lbs. as vacant.

Garcia earned near universal recognition as the champion at Jr. Welterweight with a win over Lucas Matthysse after previous title fight victories over Erik Morales and Amir Khan. Garcia was the first man to achieve recognition as Jr. Welterweight champion since Manny Pacquiao abdicated the lineal crown in 2009. Pacquiao’s claim to the title could be traced to the unification of the division by Hall of Famer Kostya Tszyu.

Bantamweight: Punglunag Sor Singyu enters the top ten off a title winning victory over Ryo Akaho.
