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

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

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.

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.

Caballero enters by unanimous vote

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

[Galaxy]

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

[JazMerkin]

Vazquez leaves the pool

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.

I'm going to say Fonseca

Victor Fonseca enters the vacant #10 slot.
