* - It should be noted that Moore, as previously reported, is planning on renouncing the WBA LH title in order to campaign as a HW in 1951.

Comments: Louis extends his reign as the longest serving WBA Champ. Longest reigning regional titleholder is USBA Flyweight Champ Dado Marino. Three Brits (Woodcock in HW, Mills in LH and Kane in FLY) hold down three regional titles at once (the trio of titles being the EBU, CBU and GBU title belts). Greatest turnover was in the MW division where all seven of the active titles changed hands. Least amount of turnover (1 of 8) was in the LW division. Overall turnover of 54% (32 of 59 titles changing hands) was slightly less than last year.
