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..
What happens in this fight?

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.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
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.
I've seen most of Mikey's televised fights and I can safely say that he should not have too much trouble putting a lasso on Salido (the wild bull). He uses the whole ring, but not only that he has power in both hands, and we have barely scratched the surface of what this kid can do.
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 think Garcia is something special...technicaly gifted and has that throw back style that will see him in the p4p in the next 12 months
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.
Loving this card, Golovkin, Martinez, Burgos. Roll on 2 weeks
