The Ring's latest ratings have been released and there are changes in three divisions.
Last weekend was a high-profile one for boxing as one of its biggest stars Ryan Garcia returned to the ring, headlining " The Ring: High Stakes " at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Garcia's return was a fruitful one as he dropped and outpointed a tough Mario Barrios to claim the WBC welterweight title . On the undercard, Gary Antuanne Russell retained his WBA junior welterweight strap with a unanimous decision victory over Andy Hiraoka. Fellow 140-pounders Frank Martin and Nahir Albright fought to a draw while 168-pounder Bektemir Melikuziev impressed as he stopped Sena Agbeko in the seventh round of their non-title bout.
