Pictured WBO and Ring Magazine World Junior Flyweight Champion Donnie Nietes


On Saturday, May 10, five fighters currently ranked by the participating members of TTR as being among the best in their respective weight classes were in action. Three, Donnie Nietes, Milan Melindo, and Andres Gutierrez, were victorious while two, Moises Fuentes and Chris Arreola, lost rematches: to Nietes and to Bermane Stiverne respectively.

Stiverne, who recently was dropped from TTR's rankings because he hadn't fought in over a year, and Johan Perez, the WBA Interim world super lightweight champ who also won Saturday night, will almost certainly reappear in TTR's rankings when the rankings through May 21 are compiled and posted.
