Orlando Salido will not be faced with Mike Oliver, July 23 in Mexico, as a marginal candidate has withdrawn from the American game. Top Rank released a press release that said Kenichi Yamaguchi (17-1-2, 4 KO) as a new opponent who is honest enough not to worse in a fight that Oliver was on paper.
The list goes Albaracin Jessie (14-3-3, 12 KOs) as a Salido opponent, but again, Yamaguchi is Top Rank directly. You may remember this chaotic Yamaguchi Billy Dib shame against Australia in 2009.
The Left of 30 years was also in talks to revenge Manuel Lopez, the man lifted the tape in April in a great battle, but will not occur until the autumn at least. Lopez wanted to fight in August, but the defense wanted a Salido victory back home in Ciudad Obregon.
Salido vs Yamaguchi will appear in the United States on Fox Deportes. Lopez should be at ringside for the fight, and the release Top Rank said he will fight "winner" later this year.
Other fight include Alejandro Valdez vs. Enrique Bernache, 10 rounds, junior featherweights.
