Career
Salas was known as a tireless puncher, who often would wear his opponents out in the late rounds with a volume of punches. Six weeks later as a 4-to-1 underdog he faced Carter again for the title at the Olympic in a rematch. On October 15, 1952, Salas fought a rubber match with Carter at Chicago Stadium.
In the rematch Carter established control inside, dictating the pace, and cutting Salas over both of the eyes.
With his vision hampered by cuts, along with the punishment he had taken from Carter, he was unable to sustain a late rally. Carter was awarded a wide unanimous decision, to regain the Lightweight title for the 2nd time.
