[JazMerkin]

I know Killer is going through the divisions, but I'm going to try do my bit to deal with the rankings. Any division that drops below 9 ranked members will get a vote up on it, if that vacancy has lasted longer than a month. There is no leaving vacancies open on anything less than 9, otherwise weak divisions like this & LHW will end up with about 7 fighters in it.

So who fills the # spot?

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

Kyohei Tamakoshi - Boxer - Like Serie, he had a poor start to this career, before picking up recently admittedly with opposition not on the same level as Serie, over whom a win would vindicate him.

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

Akifumi Shimoda - Boxer - A very promising fighter. The only blots on his record are a majority loss and a loss & draw by technical decision, all against decent opposition.

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.

Who fills #9 vacancy at 122?

(only those receiving votes listed)

Victor Fonseca (2 votes) : Galaxy, Killersheep

Akifumi Shimoda (3 votes) : Cleon, JazMerking (+1)

Akifumi Shimoda takes the #9 spot by a vote of 3-2

[JazMerkin]

Soto has appeared to have made the Lightweight division his home now that he's got a full world title there, so should he remain at 130?

[JazMerkin]

Soto is removed from the 130 rankings, and moved solely to 135.

[JazMerkin]

Does Solis remain ranked at 126? He hasn't fought at the weight since last July, and hasn't won there since last January. More importantly he has stated that he cannot campaign at the weight any more and has moved up to Super-Featherweight.

[JazMerkin]

Who should fill the vacancy?

Humberto Mauro Gutierrez - Boxer is coming off a UD loss to Vitali Tajbert, however he holds a credible win over Sergey Gulyakevich. His next fight is against former Humberto Soto victim, Aristides Perez - Boxer.

Vitali Tajbert - Boxer has a recent win over Gutierrez, who had beaten the only man to beat Tajbert in Gulyakevich. He next fights the Mexican veteran Hector Velazquez - Boxer, who has been in with some tough fighters.

Jason Litzau - Boxer holds a close technical decision over Rocky Juarez recently, however the Minnesota fighter is on a good run of form.

Siarhei Guliakevich - Boxer has been taking a slow road back from his defeat to Gutierrez and has been fighting just over the limit in recent times.

Jorge Solis - Boxer took a one-sided decision over Mario Santiago this past Saturday to follow on from body-punching KO over Likar Ramos.

[JazMerkin]

Here's some fighters who might be worthy of entering the pool at 130.

Argenis Mendez - Boxer who scored a majority decision over the tough Martin Honorio this weekend.

Daniel Jimenez - Boxer has come back from defeats to top comp.

Eloy Perez - Boxer is very good prospect with solid wins over David Rodela and Gilberto Sanchez Leon.

Devis Boschiero - Boxer EBU champion who has occasionally stepped above journeyman level.

[Cleon]

None of these dudes really
But Perez scrapes in

[JazMerkin]

Argenis Mendez & Eloy Perez enter the pool

[Galaxy]

Does Mario Santiago remain in the pool at 130? He has now lost 2 in a row.

Mario Santiago - Boxer

[JazMerkin]

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

[The Fightfan]

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

[JazMerkin]

Caballero remains rated at 122
