I've seen Burns fight quite a few times and I've never seen him put on a performance like that. For a second I thought Rocky was gonna make a comeback but Burns fought a fantastic fight that night.

.. and I can't wait for Rigondeaux Vs. Cordoba. What a dope fight. The main thing I like about this fight is that Cordoba for the most part throws wide shots even though he fights from the outside and I think someone with the skills of Rigondeaux can make him pay for something like that.

I've yet to see the Sturm/Lorenzo fight. They had a lot of titles contested this weekend .. I didn't even notice until I tried to get them all watched. I gotta watch the Romero/Barrera fight too ..

By Ryan Burton, at the scale

Las Vegas, Nevada - WBA featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa, and IBF champion Orlando Salido, easily made weight for their scheduled unifcation on Saturday night at The Palms Resort and Casino. Gamboa came in ripped and ready at the division limit of 126-pounds, and Salido, also in good shape, was 126-pounds. The fight will be televised by HBO.

In the HBO televised co-feature, somebody will lose their "0" - as undefeated lightweights Brandon Rios and Anthony Peterson made weight for their championship eliminator. Rios had to strip down and made the division limit of 135-pounds. Peterson was shredded, coming in a pound under at 134-pounds.
