Comments Thread For: Orlando Cruz Off Telemundo Show, Focuses on Salido Bout

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

A change of plans has been announced for this week's edition of Boxeo Telemundo. The card - which airs live from Kissimmee Civic Center in Kissimmee, FL (Friday, 11:35PM ET) - will no longer include series favorite Orlando Cruz.

The featherweight contender has opted to fast forward to a guaranteed vacant title fight with Orlando Salido, in lieu of the tentatively scheduled stay busy fight this weekend.

"It just made more sense," said promoter Felix 'Tuto' Zabala of the decision to drop him from this weekend's show. "We were searching for an opponent, but it's easier for Orlando and for all of us to just have him concentrate on preparing for his first world title fight." [Click Here To Read More]

This sorely needs a translation for us English-only folks.

Lupe Contreras is a boss, btw. I always look doubly forward to any fight he's announcing. :box2:

Yuck!

why doesn't this guy just retire or go to another sport more accommodating to his sickness like UFC.

Cruz will outclass and probably KO Salido.. Dont sleep on the gay fighter, this has improved a lot since his losses.

Why is Salido still at 126? He said long ago he was having problems making the weight.

I love this fight..... Puerto Rico's best fighter and pride is going to fight against a solid Mexican gatekeeper.

Should be sparks. May the best man win and conitniue our amazing rivalry

The wars are catching up to Salido, this could be one of his last title shots.

cruz will come from behind and win!

Cruz isn't afraid to get his hands dirty... I'm glad he pulled out on that other guy to save himself for the Salido shot. Cruz will definitely cum to fight.
