    I don't know a lot about Saldivar so I won't make a prediction, but from what I've read and the small amounts of footage of seen, there's similarities with him and Barrera. Saldivar apparently is a very good technician, who likes to throw nice combination's from mid-close range. If he has similar handspeed to Marco than it can really work for him against Morales, who wasn't really all that great as a Featherweight.

    No pick, just a few observations.

    Morales has a big reach advantage here, but I don't feel he'd stick to his boxing. I think Saldivar would drag him into a war and wear him down with that vicious body-punching, pile on the left hand and come away with a decision win. Just.

    Giving up height and reach would be just another day in the office for Vicente.

    He has the superior skills and ringcraft here.

    Morales makes it a hell of a fight...Like he does with any featherweight in history...but I think he gets outpointed in this fight.

    Saldivar is top tier H2H at featherweight...A very good fighter.
