Notes
- Salido badly hurt Roman with a right hand in the first round, but Roman, came back to knock Salido down three times. Roman dropped Salido in the fourth round with a right hand on the chin and in the eighth round with a left hook, and when he went down yet again under a hail of punches in the ninth round, referee Robert Byrd waved off the fight at 1 minute, 43 seconds.
- Salido announced his retirement after the fight, only to come out of retirement a few days later. However, as of August, 21, 2019, it appears that at some point after rescinding on his post-fight in-ring decision to retire from his career as a professional boxer, it seems Salido has chosen to quietly re-retire as he's not fought again since losing to Roman. His boxrec profile currently lists him as inactive https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/43998
