Women's divisional rankings: Kaye Scott enters top 5 at 160 pounds

The WBA middleweight title is still vacant after Olivia Curry and Kaye Scott fought to a majority draw Friday night at the Fox Theater in Detroit.

It was an all-action fight in which Scott seemed to have the advantage after 10 rounds, but while judge Rosemary Gross had the fight 98-92 for Scott, judges Nathan Palmer and Vincent Santino scored it 95-95.

With the result, Curry retains the No. 2 spot in the division, and Scott makes her rankings debut at No. 5.

Also on the card, Jelena Mrdjenovich defeated Liliana Martinez by unanimous decision with scorecards of 78-74, 78-74 and 78-74 in a junior featherweight bout. Mrdjenovich enters the 122-pound rankings at No. 5.

Rankings are updated every Tuesday. They're based on recent bouts, head-to-head competition and the quality of opponent. As with almost everything, until fighters square off against one another, there is a layer of subjectivity to it. Fighters who haven't fought in 18 months and don't have a fight scheduled will be removed from the rankings until they fight again.
