(MAY 6, 2003) WBAN had an opportunity to speak with Team Salcido, about
Marilyn Salcido, 118, 9-4-3, who would have taken the May 4th
fight with Bridgett “Baby Doll” Riley. Salcido’s team told WBAN
that they were called about the fight with Riley, and they had decided to
accept the fight. Then surprisingly, a matchmaker called asking if
Mary Duron, 4-4-0, who also trains with Salcido, was inquired about
for the fight with Riley. After Team Salcido was just a tad bit
confused at being offered the fight, and then being called to have
Duron take the fight (which by the way is much lighter in weight than
Riley), they were told that Riley was not “interested” in fighting Salcido.
Needless to say, Duron did not take the fight, as for one, she is
not in Riley’s weight class, and it was obvious that Riley was ducking
Salcido. WBAN thought it quite interesting that finding out about
Salcido’s offer to fight Riley, when they both live in California, with
being only 50 miles from the venue, and that “someone” flew a winless
boxer from New Mexico, to fight Riley instead-----when there was a
perfectly competent, licensed boxer in the same weight class boxer in the
same area. Team Salcido told WBAN that they were disappointed as to who
Bridgett had accepted to fight because they feel that she is not only
still a great fighter, but a great person. Hopefully, promoters will make
this great matchup happen on the NEXT card featuring Riley! Sue TL Fox
