The Ring's Latest Ratings: Movement in two divisions, including light heavyweight
There are changes in two divisions this week with the release of The Ring's ratings update.

It was a fairly low-key weekend for boxing but on Saturday night Joshua Buatsi and Zach Parker headlined a card full to the brim with light heavyweight hopefuls on DAZN.

Buatsi won by majority decision after a tame 10 rounds of action in Manchester but the result was a controversial one, with commentators, pundits and fans slamming the judges' scoring in the aftermath. Two scores read 96-94 for Buatsi while the other was 95-95 even.

On the undercard, Bradley Rea lost his 175-pound European title to Lyndon Arthur despite scoring an early knockdown, and Troy Jones dropped a contentious decision to Liam Cameron.

Down at strawweight, Melvin Jerusalem defended his WBC title with a unanimous decision victory over Siyakholwa Kuse




Scroll down to read the alterations made.
