Collazo, Verdejo, Kuga, Selby, and Rojo Chalk Up Important Wins
Pictured: former WBA World welterweight champion Luis Collazo


During the three-day period of Thursday, February 2 through Saturday, February 5, five bouts featuring fighters not currently ranked by TTR which may impact TTR's rankings took place. Luis Collazo, Felix Verdejo, Yusaku Kuga, Andrew Selby, and Francisco Rojo were the winners of those contests.

Collazo and Verdejo may have done enough to re-enter TTR's rankings while Kuga, Selby (the younger brother of IBF World featherweight champion Lee Selby, TTR's #5 ranked featherweight contender), and Rojo may be entering TTR's rankings for the first time.
