Which rematch is more relevant? Both Chenko and A-mere... have open dates coming up that need to be filled. Remember Prescott is younger with less losses than Salido.
I'll also remember that Salido is still hanging with and on occasion beating the top guys in his division, and before you say, but he lost to Roman, yeah I predicted that, Salido got out Salido'd by a younger strnger version of him, Roman is also a beast, with a lot of losses like Siri. Prescott on the other hand is basically a gatekeeper for EE prospects at this point, he'd ben either dominated or stopped in 4 of his last 5 matches. He's shot literally the dog****. Loma dominates and stops Siri at this point, and Khan brutally stops Prescott, but a win over Siri, who is less shot, is worth more than the Prescott win who's literally a shell of his always average former self.
No, you're basically right, but Salido hasn't beaten a world-class fighter since... Lomachenko. You could argue for the Thai guy who got squashed by Juan Manuel Marquez, but he's done nothing outside of Thailand. Also, Khan isn't a world champ at this point and is almost as old as Prescott. I would do it, but I'm not sure Khan's people would take the chance.
Well, it could be argued that Salido got shafted in bot Rocky Martinez matches, because he did, and deserved the close nod against Vargas, who is world class himself. The Loma match could have easily been scored a draw.
