    Arrow Salido vs Lopez II Saturday fight thread

    I'm really looking forward to this one Saturday on Showtime from San Juan. Part of me thinks JuanMa underestimated Salido the 1st time, and he'll be reborn hard, and get his WBO featherweight title back Saturday. Another part of me is saying that Salido has Lopez' number and we see a repeat of the 1st fight. In any event this should be a fight well worth watching, both pugs will be bringing it.

    March 10
    At San Juan, Puerto Rico (Showtime): Orlando Salido vs. Juan Manuel Lopez, rematch, 12 rounds, for Salido's WBO featherweight title; Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia vs. Bernabe Concepcion, 10 rounds, featherweights; Jose Gonzalez vs. Juan Garcia, 10 rounds, lightweights.

    Thoughts?

    This fight on Showtime starts @ 10:00 PM ET here in North America or at 3:00 AM sunday in the UK, if you're up and about at that time check it out, it should be worth it.

    Promo says "Vengeance or Validation?" I'll choose "vengeance". Hopefully JuanMa made the necessary adjustments. He's a better all-around fighter than Salido. If he uses his considerable skills correctly, he should get his payback.

    I wish. I used to go more often with a group of buddies... but for some reason we've become disconnected, and we didn't plan this one with enough time. I might try something "last-ditch", but if not... I'll just watch it on TV like everybody else.

    I quit going to live boxing events here in Texas or Vegas a long time ago. I mean it was great fun while it lasted, but I just don't like dealing with big crowds, the parking, et al. It's so much better for me to kick back in my den with a beverage and watch the fights in HD on my wide screen TV.

    BTW, I may actually buy the Cotto vs. Floyd PPV, i'm considering it, it does however go against my vow to never buy a Mayweather Jr. PPV.

    This is one of the few fights that I am really looking forward too.

    I have no idea what will happen, I keep going back and forth over who I think will win.

    My thoughts are JuanMa took Salido lightly the first go round, and will be better prepared this time.

    Should be one the best fights of 2012, Salido is a tough hombre.

    Tough fight to pick a winner. I like Lopez by decision. However, I can see many outcomes playing out.

    Tito - how expensive is to go to fights on the island? Similiar pricing to US?

    If Lopez sticks to his game plan and doesn't try slugging it out he should win a close UD but I'm not too confident in that prediction. Nevertheless it'll be a good fight, looking forward to it.

    If I was you I would not pay either but over here it is on £10 monthly subscription so I am happy to watch it.

    The PPV in HD on DIRECTV would cost $65, the more I think about it the more I think i'll find a stream somewhere, and watch the replay the following weekend. As much as I like Cotto's fights, he's fighting Mayweather.

    Tickets for this fight are going for anywhere from $25 to probably around $400-500 for a ringside seat, i guess. From previous experiences, the Clemente Colisseum, where the fight is being held, doesn't really have any "bad" seats. So a $25 ticket can actually get you a pretty good seat, whereas for $50 you can probably get some of the best seats in the house (I like to be a bit above the action).

    It says something about Salido's confidence that he's willing to fight Lopez in Puerto Rico again.

    Yeah, I think so too. And no matter what happens it should be a damn good fight.
