Robert Guerrero vs Orlando Salido = No Contest?

Post by JCS »

Is that still a win for Salido??? BoxingTalk reports that the victory was "erased" after Salido tested positive for nandrolone.

Still a win in the books?

Dan Rafael claims the fight was changed to a no decision this week.

Jason (DE): Why does Orlando Salido still hold an official win over Robert Guerrero... even though he tested positive for the juice?

SportsNation Dan Rafael: (1:37 PM ET ) The Nevada commission literally changed the result of the fight to a no decision this week.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission announced that the suspension of featherweight Orlando Salido will be lifted Aug. 5 and that he has been fined $5,833 as a result of testing positive for the steroid nandrolone following a title victory against Robert Guerrero in November. The IBF immediately stripped Salido after the positive test. Now Nevada officials have officially changed the result of the bout from a Salido victory to a no decision. Guerrero went on to regain the vacant title by knocking out Spend Abazi in February.

We can't change it until Nevada confirms it. It's not that we don't believe you.

But bouts from Africa get put in w/ little to no evidence.. Makes sense!

I understand, but its the inconsistencies that are bothersome.

That means, we couldn’t change anything until advised by the Commission. :wink:
