Highly touted prospect Alejandro "Popo" Salinas (2-0 2 KOs) will return to the ring this Saturday against Jose Jimenez (1-0) in Erie, PA at the Presque Isle Downs Casino. The card is headlined by Antonio Nieves (11-0) who will face Gabor Molnar (16-7) in the main event.
The 20-year-old Salinas turned pro in November and has stopped both of his opponents in the first round. Jimenez is coming off of a win against the then 5-0-1 prospect Shamir Simpson-Bey.
Salinas, who is trained by Jack Loew in Youngstown, Ohio, is being looked at by major promotional companies.
