Bute knocks Joppy from boxing's top 100

Lucien Bute defeated three-time middleweight champion William Joppy last night in his second title defense of the IBF Super Middleweight title.

The knockout loss sent Joppy -- now 39-5-1 -- tumbling from the top 100. Bute -- 22-0 with 18 knockouts -- is No. 137.

Also, Ratanapol Sor Vorapin, who came out of retirement last year, has added a string of knockouts over little known fighters. It's been enough to climb back into the top 100.

Here's the new No. 90 through 100.
