As previously reported on BoxingScene.com last week, former champion Orlando Salido will become the official opponent for undefeated WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez, on April 16 at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum. The fight will be televised by Showtime. Incidentally, reports suggest that undefeated welterweight prospect Mike Alvarado, who has a record of 28-0 with 20 knockouts, and Puerto Rican heavyweight Victor Bisbal, which has a tally of 18-1 with 13 KOs, will see action on the undercard.
