Seriously im on the fence with this one.. My head points towards Garcia but my heart tells me Salido..
Salido is just a hard ass fighter who earned his the hard way and nobody is gonna walk over him..

Salido is a convicted juicer and I can hardly wait to see Mikey carve him a new ass.
I'll be rooting for Orlando Salido, he's already beaten a better pure talent in Juan Ma Lopez twice.
He also acquitted himself very well against Gamboa.
It could be a passing of the guard with Garcia who is very solid all around, fast, powerful and hungry.
But, I'll go with Salido as I don't think he's done quite yet, he's very clever in there, tough as nails and explosive.
Very interesting fight. This will tell us if Garcia has what it takes to make it to the top. I got Salido on this one, purely for the fact that if I'm not mistaken, in Garcia's last fight, I noticed that he got stunned by a seemingly light left hook. It didn't seem like he could handle a bit of pressure too.
I could be wrong and I hope I am cos I'll be rooting for Garcia to win.
Looking at the early prices on this looms like the bookies will be favouring Garcia. I'd be backing Salido at 6/4 or biggerQuote:

I think his handlers would not dare put him in with someone this dangerous if they did not think he could win. Mikey (UD ~8/4)
That's funny, I never saw Mikey even bothered by a punch.. What fight was it that he got rocked (@mightyfighter)?
I agree. Superb bit of matchmaking here. I'm going with Garcia. Just think it's his time. You wouldn't be shocked either way though, one of those genuine anything can happen fights.
I've gotta go with Garcia who's got enough power to hurt Salido, and enough skill to outbox him. Salido is good, but I'd take the wins over JuanMa Lopez with a grain of salt, he still has a dozen or more losses on his record. Anyway, that's my take.Quote:

Job biscuit (u just watch)!!!
eh eh!!!
He lost most of these early in his career. Since then he's only lost to Marquez in his prime by a UD, Cruz by a SD which he made up for a few fights later and Gamboa by UD in a fight he did well in. He stopped Juanma twice in Puerto Rico both times when Juanma was arguably the best featherweight around. Salido is a very solid fighter, good skills, decent power and great heart. Garcia has not been in the ring at the same standard as Salido and has fought no one nearly as good as him. I have been impressed with Garcia but this will be a good test for him. If he wins this comfortably I would be surprised. I expect a close fight that could go either way.Quote:
