Dilute belts: WBC 140 LB Interim title for Cruz vs. Salcido criticized after the recent victory of Matias

Isaac ‘Pitbull”s Cruz’s struggle against his broad substitute substitute, Omar Salcido, will be the heavy weight title of the interim light of the WBC in a ten -round combat on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena de las Vegas. Salcido moved from the untelated part of the Saturday card to fight the main card against Cruz as a replacement opponent.

Unjustified belt by Salcido-Cruz?

The WBC’s decision to sanction this struggle for its provisional title of 140 LB is being criticized by fans, as it does not make sense. Salcido (20-2, 14 kos) a loss for Andy Cruz, struggles lightly and moved to a lightweight weight to replace Angel Fierro, who pulled the “pitbull” struggle due to a medical emergency.

Having the title of 140 LB of WBC for a fight against a replacement rival is unjustified. Subriel Matias captured the WBC title Alberto Puello’s WBC Saturday night, and the defense in November against the challenger Dalton Smith. The WBC that puts the line of the Cruz-Salcido line only looks like a grab.

Diluted belts: Fallout Cruz-Salcido

Having the title of 140 LB of WBC of 140 pounds fought by Cruz (27-3-1, 18 kos) and Salcido confuses the fans, as it dilutes the value of the belts. Pitbull is the number 3 WBC and Salcido is not at all. It made sense to have the provisional title at stake when Cruz struggled #7 WBC Angel Fierro. But once it was forced to remove it due to its health emergency, the provisional title should not have been available.

Creubvia, Cruz and Salcido will not argue against the provisional title of the WBC is available for their struggle. Putting your hands on this belt can be additional money because they have a belt that attracts attention to the winner.

At the beginning of today, Cruz weighed at 138.8 pounds, and Salcido reached £ 139.4 on Friday’s weight.
