From Maxboxing fight schedule: March 31 (Saturday), 2012 At TBA This content is protected Orlando Salido (37-11-2) vs. Juan Manuel Lopez (31-1)... I skimmed the threads and it doesn't seem anyone has written about it so here it is. Salido by KO.
Although Lopez beat his last opponent he didn't look like an improved fighter, basicly the same. Salido didn't look any better, having to pick himself off the canvas twice to finish his tough adversary. I don't like the fact that the fight is being held in PR, there is no justifing that. I think even the most rabid Boricua fan can agree that the rematch should be in Mexico or at least neutral ground. But whatever, Salido ain't complaining. Lopez does have the ability to outbox "el Siri", but I think he's going to get drawn into an exchange and get nailed again. If he can make it on his feet he'll take a SD. Salido has to came in well prepared, work him and lay him out. I'm pulling for Salido, but still feel it's a toss up. Vamos Salido!!! Dale duro!!!
Salido was dropped twice on his last fight to some unknown dude.Is he wearing himself off? age is taking a toll ?... i have a feeling Juanma will take this one if he shows in shape
I don't think Salido is shot, probably Wasn't as prepared as he normally is. I still say he beats Lopez. Ps I also believe the fight is in Puerto Rico because it draws more $$ than Salido would in Mexico. Good for Salido for being able to travel unlike a lot of current American fighters.
Salido by ko. Salido just seems to have lopez's number. ****, Salido even looked like a defensive genius at times vs lopez.
