Gamboa vs salido postponed

[-DSG-]

Although HBO and Top Rank finally came to terms on the money for a July 24 "Boxing After Dark" doubleheader from Las Vegas, to include Yuriorkis Gamboa against Orlando Salido in a featherweight unification fight and a lightweight eliminator between Anthony Peterson and Brandon Rios, the card was postponed Thursday. HBO won't have boxing that night. Top Rank's Carl Moretti told ESPN.com the reason for the postponement was because Salido suffered a cut during his May title win against Cristobal Cruz that hadn't completely healed yet. Top Rank and HBO are talking about moving the card to the fall. "Having come off a very physical battle, the last thing Salido or Top Rank wanted for the fans and HBO is a cut opening up immediately and having an impact on the potential result," Moretti said. "By pushing the fight back, it ensures the quality of the unification match."

Heaven forbid they fight Caballero instead

[Doctor_Tenma]

I don't even care about this fight.

[Eaner0919]

actually I do

Salido is one tough SOB and if Gamboa cannot spark him early then it becomes interesting

I think too many people are getting a bit myopic about 126 only talking about Gamboa JuanMa and Caballero fighting each other when there are other fights to make at or around the division that could be salivating

this was a good one IMO
