CUADRAS DEFENDS WBC TITLE VS SALGADO; CLASH WITH SONNY BOY JARO RESET FOR NOVEMBER 13 By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Sat, 20 Sep 2014  Undefeated World Boxing Council super flyweight champion Carlos ?Principe? Cuadras defends his title against Jose ?Sugar? Salgado on Sunday, Manila Time, even as the planned defense against former world champion Sonny Boy Jaro was pushed back to November 13 in Washington D.C. There are some who believe that while Cuadras is a terrific fighter, he cannot take Salgado who has a record of 34-2 with 27 knockouts for granted and this was evident in a public training in Sinaloa. The WBC reported that the protagonists of the card ?Viva M?xico... Viva Guamuchil' preview ?was all action as both Cuadras, the new WBC Super flyweight Champion, and Salgado showed their considerable armory. In the presence of hundreds of fans who gathered to observe their idols, the pair didn't disappoint!? The WBC report said Cuadras and Salgado ?gave everyone a tempting glimpse of what's going to happen, when they clash.? Cuadras stressed ?This victory is going to be for my Guamuchil people? while Salgado on the other hand claimed that he's ?come to Cuadras' Kingdom and he will snatch from him the prized Green and Gold belt.? Aljoe Jaro, manager of Sonny Boy, informed the Manila Standard/Viva Sports that he had received an email from Oswaldo Kuchle of Promociones Del Pueblo stating ?We are changing the fight between Sonny Boy vs Carlos Cuadras to November 13th in Washington USA. This will be a greater promotion for the benefit of both fighters on a magnificent show.? At the same time Kuchle said Cuadras will have a tune-up bout on October 20 against another Filipino Ric Megrino and ?will be ready for your fighter? meaning the title defense against Sonny Boy Jaro. However, quite surprisingly Cuadras will not figure in a tune-up bout but would battle Salgado in a title defense. The 25 year old Cuadras who won the title with an 8th round technical decision over Thailand?s Srisaket Sor Rungvisai last May 31 will be making the first defense of his title against Salgado. At the time of the stoppage following a clash of heads which worsened a nasty cut over the left eyebrow of Cuadras which started with an accidental head-butt in the 4th round, referee Jay Nady called a halt on the advice of the ring doctor. They went to the scorecards with Cuadras ahead 77-74 on the scorecard of judge Mauro Di Fiore, 78-73 on the scorecard of Dick Flaherty and 77-75 on the card of Cathy Leonard to seal the victory. Jaro himself won the world flyweight title with a stunning 6th round TKO over longtime champion and WBC ?Fighter of the Year? Pongsaklek Wonjongkam on March 2, 2012, dropping Pongsaklek once in rounds one and three and twice in round six to score a smashing victory. However, Sonny Boy Jaro lost the title in his first defense in a twelve round split decision to Japan?s Toshiyuki Igarashi on July 16, 2012. Since that loss the 32 year old Jaro who has a record of 37-13-5 with 27 knockouts lost two more fights to Hiroyuki Hisataka and Gerpaul Valero before winning three fights in a row, all by knockouts. His last victory was on June 28 this year when Jaro scored a 6th round TKO over Ichal Tobida after dropping him with a vicious body shot. Cuadras who has an unblemished record of 30-0 with 24 knockouts first won the WBC Silver title with a 7th round TKO over Ronald Barrera on September 29, 2012 before scoring a unanimous twelve round decision over Filipino Fernando Lumacad on November 24, 2012. Cuadras also scored an impressive 7th round TKO over tough Mexican Victor Zaleta on March 2, 2013 and followed it up with a 2nd round TKO of Thailand?s Songseanglek Phosuwangym on December 31, 2013.
