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.
I agree. Colbert needs to take this seriously or get out
Another loudmouth bites the dust.
“Another loudmouth bites the dust.”
– Good……
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.
