Salcido upsets Colbert

Lightweight Omar “Super” Salcido (20-1, 14 KOs) battered and stopped former WBA interim world champion Chris “Primetime” Colbert (17-3, 6 KOs) in the ninth round on Wednesday night at the ProBox TV Events Center in Plant City, Florida. Looking to revive his career after losing two out of his last three fights, Colbert was overwhelmed by Salcido’s pressure and in round nine Colbert’s corner threw in the towel. Time was 1:02.

Super featherweight contender and 2016 Olympian Tsendbaatar Erdenebat (11-0, 5 KOs) dominated Frency Fortunato (15-2, 11 KOs) in a 10-round contest for the vacant WBA Continental North America Gold title. Scores were 98-92, 98-92, 100-90.

Unbeaten light heavyweight prospect Najee Lopez (12-0, 9 KOs) knocked out Ismael Ocles (15-17 -2, 3 KOs) with a liver shot in round three.

  • Colbert either needs to get down to 130 or call it a day. He looked BAD in this fight. He wasn’t in great shape at 136 and got worn down and rocked by Salcido and Salcido is nothing special.

      • – Just saw the fight on You Tube.
        – Colbert’s corner, even though they warned him the prior round that they would stop the fight, should have let him continue.
        – Let him go out on his shield, if he has one.
        – He wasn’t taking a vicious beating; he was getting beat to the punch.
        – “Prime Time” is done………

        • I was surprised when the trainer said he was going to stop it, but I figured he was just using it to motivate Colbert… but then he actually stopped it.

  • Colbert needs to call it quits. He was a highly regarded prospect at one point and now he’s a journeyman for other prospects. If he was losing close fights and was defensively responsible I’d say keep going but he’s getting ko’d in demoralizing fashion time and time again.

  • Talk about a fighter that didn’t wanna be there that was horrible, if you don’t love your job find another.

  • Interesting article. I lost sleep last night wondering who would win the coveted vacant WBA Continental North American Gold Title.

  • Colbert had a horrible gameplan, at times standing in front of his guy trying to pick spots. If anything Salcido can hit. Big mistake.

  • This has been an issue with top fighters from the East Coast. Seems it hard getting in World Class shape. Rather its too many distractions, pollution, enticed by fast food all day, or everyday problems of people living on top of each other. Floyd and Tyson was able to make a good run by moving to the West Coast to (Vegas). Tyson understood he needed to get away from the people he came up with. Seems the ceiling is but so high for our top fighters coming up from the (inner city) East Coast. Seeing it over and over.

  • Primetime never was!! Just look at what he did when he lost his first fight!!
