CIUDAD OBREGON - After nearly two years Orlando Salido (33-10-2, 22 KOs) was face to face with world IBF featherweight champion, Cristobal Cruz (39-11-2, 23 KOs), but on this occasion he said the story will be different, because he's taking the victory and the belt on the main event of "Revenge or Glory" on Saturday May 15. The show will be televised by Televisa in Mexico. Cruz beat Salido by split decision in 2008.
The final press conference had a lot of local media attend. Cruz remembered how he beat Salido in 2008 by decision to become the IBF champion and is now defending his title for the fourth time.
"I've prepared like never before, better than the first time and I plan to make it a very smart fight to walk away with the belt," Salido said.
Cruz admits this is going to be of the hardest fights of his career, but in the end he will come out with raised hands.
"To Orlando Salido, I won this belt because I worked very hard and earned it. You have to knock me out because beating my on points will be very difficult," Cruz said.
