Clips of Salido, Garcia Sparring & Training (Media Workout Added)

Just thought I'd post and dig up some old and new videos of each of them sparring, and Mikey's workout clips, and try to learn more about how they're going to match-up on Saturday.

This is a clip from Salido training in August. This is the only clip I could find, but it's a good one. Showcases Salido's defense coming forward and ability to efficiently pressure. It's a bit unnerving how he can inch forward and suddenly be inside. The overhand right he sets up at 1:36 is classic and deadly.

This is a clip of Mikey sparring Rios from over a year ago, not sure if it's been posted, but I thought it was important to share because of Mikey's infighting. It seems like Rios is taking it easy and trying to work on certain things, but regardless, Mikey is very active and tight whenever they exchange up close. His movement and offensive variation here is more impressive than anything I've seen from an actual fight, to be honest. To me it suggests what Mikey could be and lets us know he's surely not totally unequipped at close quarters.

These are much more recent clips of Mikey training and working the mitts with Robert. It seems their focus is side-stepping and catching Salido on the way in, which is not a bad strategy. Like I said in my other thread, emphasizing the left hook in particular is something to consider.

Good catch. A counter like that is harder to pull off when you pump out the jab in 2's and 3's and circle, but Mikey throws a lot of single ones. And like you said, feinting is a great way to keep Salido at bay. But I think Mikey also lacks feints as well. He just seems so poker-faced and conservative and would rather spy for clean openings for his powers shots than take risks making them appear. Like I said, such a contrast to the sparring clip against Rios.

 

Looked very good. Sharp, destructive, and defensively responsible coming forward.

To me it just seemed like he was taking breaks and working on fighting at a distance. Though the pace in the first rounds was pretty intense.

There were flashes in that last fight of how to beat Salido; jump in with flurries to momentarily back him up and change the angle constantly. But that defines Gamboa's style, and even he had to tough it out. Just finished re-watching that fight, competitive through all 12 rounds.

Salido's left to the body seems a mile long.

It's also interesting that no matter where he is in the ring, Salido seems so huge and imposing to me. He controls the center of a ring effortlessly. Just a few steps following you along the perimeter and he's back in his punching range like he never left.

Here's Dwyer's prediction:

We'll see. I think Garcia's best bet is to sidestep and throw a left hook as Salido loops his right. But even then, there's no guarantee Salido stays down or loses focus. The sparring clip aside, the more I watch their fights, the more I favor Salido.
