Does Caballero remain rated at this weight-class, his last fight was a Featherweight.

After dropping an SD in his rematch with Orlando Salido, how far does the Mexican veteran fall?
After his SD loss to Orlando Salido

[JazMerkin]

The above image is incorrect, as Jorge Solis has exited the ratings, however Orlando Salido will enter following his SD win over Cruz. So who enters?

Israel Vazquez - Boxer faces old nemesis and #9 Rafael Marquez this weekend for the 4th time. However, in his only previous appearance at the weight, Magnifico struggled to a late KO over journeyman Angel Priolo.

Satoshi Hosono - Boxer lost an MD at 122 in his last major fight, although he beat a 1-0 fighter at SFW in his last outing. It is unclear what weightclass he plans to fight at.

Daniel Ponce de Leon - Boxer won a tight UD over perennial gatekeeper Cornelius Lock in his last fight, which followed a vicious bodyshot KO over Orlando Cruz. The tough Mexican's power has dropped at 126, but he's beaten decent fighters.

Bernabe Concepcion - Boxer is coming off a close UD over Mario Santiago. Prior to that he'd been DQ'd for KOing #3 Steven Luevano after the bell. His next fight is against #1 Juan Manuel Lopez.

Fernando Beltran Jr - Boxer is unbeaten in 2 years, but those include controversial wins over Takalani Ndlovu and Mickey Roman. Has 2 fights scheduled in the next month.

Antonio Escalante - Boxer is coming off a FOTY candidate win over Miguel Roman. Has beaten good opp at the weight.

Jhonny Gonzalez - Boxer continues his comeback from the Nishioka KO. Killer's favourite fighter recently won a WBC eliminator and in beating Antonio Davis, took out a guy who only loses to quality fighters.

Celestino Caballero - Boxer looked excellent in his one-sided demolition job of the talented Daud Yordan in April. It appears he may be making 126 his new home, which can only bode well for prospective fights.

I would say let's see what weight he fight's at next.

[Galaxy]

Caballero's the man!

Caballero's the man!

That was my pick as well, Escalante came in second for me, if another opening comes up he's getting my vote.

[JazMerkin]

Cruz falls 1 spot by a vote of 3-2-1.

[JazMerkin]

Caballero remains rated at 122

Caballero enters by unanimous vote

[JazMerkin]

After being stopped in 3 by old rival, Rafa Marquez, does Izzy stay rated?

[JazMerkin]

So who fills the # 10 spot?

Masaaki Serie - Boxer - Had a bad run of losses, but has recovered to become a solid contender.

Rogers Mtagwa - Boxer - I expect everyone here is familar with Mtagwa. A great exciting warrior, however he's coming off a pair of losses, to Lopez in a close fight & then to Gamboa at a higher weight.

Victor Fonseca - Boxer - Almost certainly the best prospect in the division, has beaten some good fighters on his way up like Al Seeger.

Hiromasa Ohashi - Boxer - Inconsistent journeyman, beaten in his last fight by Akifumi Shimoda

Yan Barthelemy - Boxer - Very hyped at one stage, Barthelemy was possibly rushed due to his amateur success. Lost a decision to Ernie Marquez, and then was stopped by bigger Jorge Diaz after taking a short-notice fight on the Lopez/Mtagwa undercard.

[Galaxy]

I'm going to say Fonseca

[Galaxy]

I say no, he's a great little warrior but I think he's done

[JazMerkin]

Victor Fonseca enters the vacant #10 slot.

Vazquez leaves the pool
