At first look, it seemed as though Guerrero was having his way with the shorter, stockier Salido. His reach and height advantage would have been the key components for a victory, but Salido was just too tough and was able to break through his defenses. Salido plugged away at Guerrero’s body and pelted him with a vast array of shots from all angles, and even though his performance wasn’t the most aesthetically pleasing to behold, it was certainly effective. When the final bell sounded to cease the action inside the ring, most figured that Salido had done enough to score a close decision. 
To the surprise of many, he was awarded a landslide unanimous decision via tallies of 118-110, 117-111 and 115-113. FightNews favored Salido 116-112, who improved to 28-9-2 with 18 KOs. Guerrero dropped to 19-2-1 with 12 KOs and it seemed like he’ll have to once again ascend that arduous mountain back to title contention. Report By: Mike Sloan Photo By: Chris Cozzone |
