    This means he avoids a rematch with Orlando Salido.

    Salido will now fight Cristobal Cruz for the title.

    Screw Salido.
    His performance against Guerrero was top notch, almost unnatural.
    Like I said, screw him.

    Yeah, Salido wasn't clean in that fight.

    Still, I didn't like that fight for Guerrero from the minute I heard it was made.

    Clean piss or not, I think Salido is a very tough fight for Guerrero.

    Guerrero could be setting himself up right now with this time off right now, the arbitration and now moving up in weight.

    I really started liking Salido before the Guerrero fight. He had been shown several times on FSE with replays. Similar to Pollo Valenzuela in that his talent was better than his record.
    That said, he never looked as good as he did against Guerrero.

    If he really was juiced the first time, Guerrero should be wanting this rematch if for any reason to punish him. Personally I think Salido pounds on this guy clean or not. I'd move up in weight too If I was the ghost.

    Rocky Juarez was foolish in taking on JMM instead of Guerrero when he had the chance.

    Exactly, he'd have lost by about the same margin, and would've been paid a lot less for his troubles.
