I recall seeing the salido had 11 loses at the age of 33 is he really now becoming a good fighter or does juanma just suck?[DM][/DM]
Salido was always a good fighter (see Guerrero fight) and Lopez always had defensive holes, he just did the job before opponents could do a job on him, but Mtagwa kinda exposed him and it was downhill after that. It's also a style thing, Salido is more than willing to push forward and risk taking shots to deliver wide bombs because he knew Lopez is ineffective fighting backwards and has huge holes against those angles. There were some worrying signs in his tune-up, but Salido prepared for the rematch properly and pulled the same hat trick as last year.
Its a lil bit of both. Lopez was a leaky defenced banger with a shaky chin. But Salido is a good solid fighter.
Salido is a bum. Anyone with technical abilility and pop can beat him. Lopez is just techincally inept and fought like a bum himself last night. HE can't get away from punches and wat makes it worse is that Salido throws sloppy punches. I wonder how long he has been deteriorating in terms of skill?
