Fantasy women's basketball draft guide: Rankings, projections, profiles and more

Rankings, projections, player profiles, draft strategies -- we've got everything you need to dominate your fantasy women's basketball draft from every angle.

ESPN's divisional boxing rankings highlight the best in the sport in every weight class. They will change often, based on recent results and performances. Rankings are based on what a fighter has accomplished in the weight division in which he is ranked. 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.

The Devin Haney vs. Ryan Garcia fight almost never happened for a lot of different reasons. Then, Garcia showed up at the weigh-in for the megafight 3.2 pounds over the limit. But on Saturday night, Garcia, who entered the bout as a +400 underdog, sent Haney to the canvas three times en route to a majority decision win.

Garcia (25-1, 20) had Haney in trouble in Round 1 with a well-placed left hook to the chin and dropped Haney in Rounds 7, 10 and 11. Garcia was deducted a point for hitting Haney during a break in the seventh.

Haney (31-1, 15 KOs) suffered the first defeat of his career. It was also the first time he has been knocked down as professional, which makes the way Garcia beat him more impressive.

"I should've knocked him out [in] that seventh round," Garcia said after the fight. "They stole that from me. I'm surprised he has so much heart and recovery. He got wobbled bad in the first round. I thought it was over."

With the victory, Garcia moves up from No. 9 to the No. 2 spot behind new leader Teofimo Lopez. Haney moves down three spot from No. 1 to No. 4.

Rankings are determined by Mike Coppinger, Nick Parkinson, Damian Delgado Averhoff and Andres Ferrari. They are updated weekly on Tuesdays.
