    I've got Valero knocking out Salido in a war. Thoughts?

    It would be an action fight, two rough and very tough guys, neither of them is too good, both easy to hit.
    When you watch Valero fight, when he punches his hands are coming from his waist and his head stays front and center, it doesn't move with his body. He telegraphs the hell out of his left hand, you can not only "see it coming ", you can tell when he is going to throw it before it even gets that far.
    If I was Salido I would get right on Valero's chest and fight him close up because Valero needs room to punch. So get inside his effective range and let your hands go.

    Smothering Valero and out working him inside would be the key for Salido. A guy with a bit more finesse would do well countering the Valero left.
