In the year's biggest upset, Frenchman Bruno Surace rose off the canvas to knock out Jaime Munguia in Round 6 on Saturday in the former champion's native Tijuana, Mexico.
Surace had never fought outside France before and was hand-picked to give Munguia an easy stay-busy win in his fourth fight of the year -- ahead of a potential meeting with Christian Mbilli next year -- but Surace didn't stick to the script.
With the life-changing performance, Surace (26-0-2, 5 KOs) enters ESPN's super middleweight rankings at No. 9. Munguia (44-2, 35 KOs) drops from No. 3 to No. 10 following his second loss in three fights (the other was to boxing's top star, Canelo Alvarez).
A Surace-Munguia rematch is expected to take place next.
On the undercard, Alan Picasso Romero inched closer to title contention with a third-round KO of Yehison Cuello in a stay-busy fight. Picasso has been discussed as an option to face Naoya Inoue in his stateside return next year. Picasso, No. 14 on ESPN's top 25 under 25 list, enters the junior featherweight rankings at No. 9.
Elsewhere, at 122 pounds, former unified champion Murodjon Akhmadaliev maintained his WBA mandatory challenger status with a third-round TKO of Ricardo Espinoza in Monaco.
One weight class below, 2016 Olympian Antonio Vargas stopped Winston Guerrero in Round 10. He enters the 118-pound rankings at No. 10 and replaces former champion Alexandro Santiago, who has now lost two in a row.
ESPN's divisional boxing rankings highlight the best in the sport in every weight class. Rankings will change based on recent results and performances. Fighters who have announced they are moving to a different weight class will be ranked in that new division, if warranted, only once they fight in that weight class. Fighters who currently own titles in two divisions can be ranked in both.
Fighters who haven't competed in the past 12 months -- and don't have a fight scheduled -- will be dropped from the rankings until they fight again. Any fighter who tests positive for a performance-enhancing substance will also be removed. That boxer will be eligible to re-enter the rankings after his next bout.
