Officials said the Monterrey, Mexico battler, who won the title from Jimmy Carter earlier this month, cannot be recognized until his suspension period ends July 6. Salas was barred for a "bad fight" recently against Mexican featherweight champ Guillermo Valero. Valero, meanwhile, was named by the commission as Mexicos representative in a featherweight championship elimination to take place in the United States. ,
