NABF super flyweight champion Jose “Sugar” Salgado (30-2-1, 26 KOs) took a workmanlike twelve round unanimous decision to successfully defend his title against late sub Devis “El Metrallo” Perez (16-8-4, 10 KOs) on Saturday night at the Parque Andres Quintana Roo in Cozumel, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Also, in an IBF eliminator for the #2 position, unbeaten Russian jr welterweight southpaw Denis Shafikov (31-0-1, 17 KOs) scored a twelve round unanimous decision over Albert “Tornado” Mensah (25-4-1, 10 KOs) to claim Mensah’s IBF International title. Shafikov dropped Mensah twice in the bout.
