Pictured: WBA World Lightweight Champion in Recess Richar Abril, TTR's new #1 ranked lightweight contender


TTR's Pound-For-Pound and divisional rankings based on fight results through Thursday, April 23, 2015 were compiled and posted on Friday, April 24, and Saturday, April 25, 2015. Richar Abril is now the #1 contender for the vacant lineal world lightweight title, Terence Crawford is now the #3 contender at 140, and Roman Martinez is the new #3 contender at 130.

As usual, IGNORE the rankings to the right. They're TTR's through August 28, 2013. A system bug is still preventing us from removing them.
