Salido vs Lopez II Saturday fight thread

[Mars_ax]

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.

It will form a big night of action from two continents with Ricky Burns’ WBO World Lightweight title defence against Paulus Moses, also live on BoxNation.

Moses is from Namibia, and almost all of his fights have been in Africa, he held the WBA World lightweight title for 2 fights, then lost it when he was KO'd by Miguel Acosta in his 3rd WBA title scrap.

Burns doesn't have much power but it's enough to keep his opponents honest, and even though this is only his 2nd WBO championship fight @ lightweight, he's a couple inches taller than Moses and weight won't be an issue. (It wasn't against Katsidis)

Should be an entertaining fight tomorrow afternoon here in the states, i'll watch it on a live feed.

Should be a good night of fights.

Just a reminder, the undercard fights will be shown live once again on Showtime Extreme starting at 8:00 pm ET, with the main event showing on regular Showtime at 10:00 pm ET.
