TTR'S RANKINGS THROUGH AUGUST 12 POSTED
Pictured: TTR's #9 ranked bantamweight contender Pungluang Sor Singyu, the WBO World champion


TTR's Posters' Pound-For-Pound and divisional rankings based on fight results through Wednesday, August 12, 2015 were compiled and posted on Thursday, August 13 and Friday, August 14, 2015. The rankings for ten of the seventeen divisions contain changes and the title of an eleventh division is now vacant.

As usual, IGNORE the rankings to the right. Those were our rankings for the period through August 28, 2013. The ever-incredibly persistent system bug is still preventing us from removing them.

**- On August 13, Ray Beltran, who tested positive for the banned anabolic steroid Stanozolol following his second-round TKO of Takahiro Ao on May 1, was suspended by the NSAC for nine months, retroactive to May 1. The NSAC also was fined him $25,500, and changed his win over Ao to a No Contest. He also has to reimburse the NSAC for the costs of his post-fight tests and must supply a clean sample after his suspension in order to be re-licensed. Expect him to be removed from TTR's rankings when TTR's rankings through August 26 are compiled.
