Angel Fierro has no fight with Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz on the sub -card on Saturday.

The rematch between the Mexican junior world weights was planned for Manny Pacquiao-Mario Barrios' PPV-UNDERCARD.

Cruz (27-3-1, 18 Kos) defeated Fierro in an entertaining fight in February by unanimous decision. However, the highly expected rescue is from the map on the map, since Fierro is replaced by Omar Salcido, confirms sources to ESPN on Friday.

Initial reports from the Ring Magazine indicated that Fierro (23-3-2, 18 KOS) was taken to the hospital in the last phases of his weight cut. Salcido (20-2, 14 KOS) was originally intended for the fight against Brian Gallegos on the undisclosed sub-card of the Pacquiao-Barrios PPV, but will rise to the main card to face Cruz.

Salcido lost his last fight against ESPNS No. 6 Andy Cruz in January. He has a knockout victory against the former interim defender Chris Colbert.
