Kirkland is rumored to be at the front of the line for a fight with Alvarez on September 15, 2012.
Rios appears still poised to face Marquez on July 14, 2012.

Losers:

Campillo - no fight scheduled
Molina - no fight scheduled
Abril - no fight scheduled.
Good point, but you do need to account for the fact that the gift-winners were stars to begin with (hence the gifts). I don't think Marquez would be fighting Abril next even if he had been given the victory he earned, for instance. But Rios wouldn't be getting the fight either -- that much is almost certainly true (Mayweather/Judah counterexamples aside).
