    Two fighters who were never in a bad fight. A bruising, bloody, and perhaps dirty affair but a damn good fantasy match up nonetheless. Any thoughts on who would win this hellacious battle between two rough and tough warriors?

    Boza would be able to bully and outwork Salido to a decision, especially if it was scheduled for 15.

    Don't compare Chacon to Salido in terms of difficulty.

    I like Boza but he'd have to be extremely well trained because his style is perfectly fit for Salido.

    Boza might suffer a knockdown or two but he overpowers Salido for a late tko or extremely hard fought decision win.

    I think I know what they mean: Chacon's skills are (were) fairly superior than Salidos.

    Hi Antonio.
    I followed his career from start to finish, saw him numerous times in the amateurs, and spent many a afternoon after work watching him workout in the back of a pub in North London, he was in the George Francis stable, along with Conteh and Lucas, George took enormous pride in getting his fighters in tip top condition for their fights, there was never any doubt that stamina would let them down, far from it, the tales are legion of Boza and his sparring, he would think nothing of sparring for 10/15 rounds at any given time, and with fighters that outweighed him considerably, he seemed genuinely sorry when the bell ended a round, and paced the floor whilst waiting for hostilities to continue, ingrained in my memory is his working out with a WW named Tommy Davit, they would hammer each other minute after minute, round after round, Boza could and would make men 28lbs heavier than him back up, not so much with his power, which was decent, but his incessant attacks, his metronome walk forward, arms pumping approach, was a sight to behold, he never, and I mean never looked tired, his stamina was off the scale, George told me that he had a abnormally slow heart rate, that was prevalent in a good long distance runner, Conteh was flash and brazen, Boza was quiet and studious, they made for interesting campmates, so Antonio, rest assured he would indeed be well trained, for this fight and any others.
    stay safe buddy, chat soon.
    Mike.

    Boza for me. Never in an easy fight, always great to watch, win or lose. Should take a hard fought decision here.
