Agreed bro, Mikey can definitely have some **** that we havent seen (like you said no one really took him there) but Salido is definitely gonna make him show what he has. I think fundamentally hes a more solid boxer than Salido but im not sure hes gonna be able to keep him at the distance he wants him at, and Orlando is most likely gonna make him fight the way he wants to and Mikey probably wont win that kind of fight
Lopez also dropped Salido in that fight at a time when Lopez himself was on shaky legs. Lopez is a monster puncher, yes, but that wasn't a monstrous shot, just a well-timed one. I'm wavering here, but right now I'm leaning the same way. I get the feeling that Saldio's swarming style will offset Garcia, who likes to fight at a more methodical pace.
An ATG Prime and Young True Mexican Warrior like Juan Manuel Marquez couldn't KO Salido, what makes you think an untested young Chicano will be able to KO Salido? atsch
Mikey's hope in this fight, is that I think he's a better puncher than many are giving him credit for, I think he could cause Salido to slow down some and earn his respect.
Not only do I not know who is going to win this, I don't even know who to root for :? I'm a huge Salido fan but I also think Garcia is going to have a very good career. I can't bring myself to root against either so I'm hoping for a fight of the year draw.
Exactly. The question mark is his grit, and I expect he does have it inside him. But my doubts are more technical than they are psychological. He may have the heart to fight back but not the experience to out-do Salido in exchanges up close.
The closer it draws to fight time... I cringe. (Wasn't there a Rican or a Cubano they could have beat on instead?)
Lopez isn't crap. He went toe to toe with a still game Rafael Marquez, blew out Luevano, dominated Concepcion, etc. He had serious defensive flaws, but in the rematch he showed great improvement. Regardless, Salido still came out on top. Let's not forget he also won a unanimous decision against Robert Guerrero, dropped and went the distance with Gamboa, and went the distance in a competitive fight against Juan Manuel Marquez.
I keep saying this, but I feel like Salido's wins over Juanma put his whole career in a new perspective and I really hope he continues it this weekend.
Mikey is far too technical and good to have any problems with Salido! Mikey will roll and make this one look easy... :yep Salido is going to get his ass whooped just like Rosado!
