JuanMa-Salido Cards at the time of the stoppage: 66-66 ?? Are you kidding?

that is quite surprising, indeed. but, it was a close fight, even though, most fans agree salido was getting the best of him

 

Huge robbery in the making. Salido was in full control, even in those close early rounds he got the better of Lopez with clean effective punching. He landed the flush shots and landed more, plus did a fine job slipping most of them coming back. I only gave Lopez one round in the opening 4 and I guess the 7th based on the mini-comeback (Orlando still landed more), but 66-66 is serious hometown ****. If anyone really has any doubt that there was a clear disparity between the two, rewatch the fight focosing on Salido this time.

 

home cooking...

 

Were you at the fight? The fight was in peurto rico and if the rounds are close then the fans screaming probably had a little influence, it usually does. Live fights and seeing it on tv are very different.

 

It was the closest beatdown I ever seen.
Had it went the full 12rds, It would have been hard to imagine Salido leaves champion.

 

I can see that. The rounds were close enough and they were in PR so actually im surprised they had it a draw.

Just like Salido said after the fight. He needed to get that KO in PR otherwise he wouldnt win.

Man all these upsets are making me glad i stopped betting for a couple of weeks....
The only fight i bet on this weekend was Khan to stop Mcwhatever in less than 7.5 I was gonna bet on a Berto KO and a JML decision also but my phone timed out on me and i wasnt able to place it before it closed out. Ha wow. Now i no longer feel safe betting on boxing...

 

Dude, do you mean to say you used to feel safe betting on boxing??? You are probably sitting in your castle on your piles of cash made on safe bets!

 

Hmm I honestly didnt think much of that before now. Going to watch it again today..

 

i had it the same.

 

Safer than Socccer. I guess i should have mentioned that.
In boxing the favorite is usually a pretty safe bet. Considering robberies even insure that at times.

 

Who gives a flying ****, we all now know who won and how he won right?

 

I do if you don't mind. The judges got away with it because it ended inside the distance but don't act like the fight wasn't heading to a robbery, I mean having it even with Lopez being knocked down and hurt in several rounds is just awful. The crowd was very unprofessional too with bottles flying all over the place, one actually hitting Showtime's commentary. In soccer commissions fine clubs seriously for unsportsmanlike behaviour, same should be done in boxing so organizers would pay attention to the crowd next time. I'm glad Salido wasn't hit when he was celebrating on the ropes.

 

Someone is bitter...
