All systems are go for the super flyweight title fight in Mexico, as Carlos Cuadras and Jose Salgado both made weight for their grudge match Saturday evening in Guamuchil, Mexico.
Cuadras weighed in at 114.6 lb. for the first defense of the title he won this past May. Salgado came in at the same weight, for his first shot at a primary title.
The bout marks the first time Cuadras (30-0, 24KOs) gets to fight in his birth town, though the majority of his career has been spent in Mexico. Included among his home games was his title winning effort, scoring a technical decision win over Thailand's Srisaket Sor Rungvisai.
Salgado (34-2-1, 27KOs) enters riding an eight-fight win streak. His last defeat came in an attempt to nab a secondary title, dropping a competitive decision to Liborio Solis in Dec. '11.
The bout headlines live on Televisa in Mexico.
