Orlando "Siri" Salido Rivera retrospective

amen.

 

Knocked down four times, but every time he furiously got up and hit harder and faster. Mikey was getting overwhelmed and the tide was starting to turn. If Mikey hadn't taken the technical W, this might have become the modern Moore vs Durrelle.

 

yes, he was maxing out his heart, he knew he had to before it got stopped. his body was taking a solid beating, though, it was gonna start to fall apart very quickly and he had come nowhere near to putting mikey in danger.

 

Still amazing to see him knocking out Juanma Lopez not once but TWICE in his hometown of PR. Salido was a pitbull who just kept fighting and doing everything he can to win. Deserves a place in the HOF at some point.

 

I agree, and I think they were doing something similar to this on HBO's The Fight Game for a while. They were calling it "The Gatti List". It may have been used as more of a promotional tool for some of their fighters, but it was a cool idea.

 

this site should have a pfp list post some fights for the year and each year we vote

 

Mikey was starting to crack.

I’m glad he has retired, he has given us war after war after war. If Gatti can make the HOF I don’t see why Salido can’t.

 

For all his lauded fights are great the two keep. Busy fights with Terdsak Jandaeng and Weng Haya might just be my favourites. Basically take turns dropping or hurting each other and go life and death for a while till Salido as per usual in this type fights endures and comes out victorious.

Absolute barnburners.

 

Total carnage! Take away the ref and it’s damn near a fight to the the death coz I can’t see either man stopping.
