Orlando Salido vs. "Mikey" Garcia - Saturday night fight/chat thread
:pimp2: A killer night of boxing for us fans next Saturday, Salido vs. Garcia should be a fucking war.
Jan. 19
At New York (HBO): Orlando Salido vs. Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia, 12 rounds, for Salido's WBO featherweight title; Gennady Golovkin vs. Gabriel Rosado, 12 rounds, for Golovkin's WBA middleweight title; Roman "Rocky" Martinez vs. Juan Carlos Burgos, 12 rounds, for Martinez's WBO junior lightweight title.
I'll go with Garcia by decision, but if he's not careful Salido could knock him out. Golovkin should have no problems with Rosado, a mid round KO for him. As for Martinez vs. Burgos, not sure yet, but Martinez should prevail.
:drunks:
Re: Orlando Salido vs. "Mikey" Garcia on HBO Saturday
Its a nice weekend of boxing.
NBC will have a nice card.
Kovalev v Campillo
Ayala v Stevens
Nice Wealth tv domestic card in Wolverhampton England
Then the HBO card.
Btw the Garcia/Salido clash is also for the Ring Title which is interesting if not puzzling seeing that Garcia is an Arum fighter and Oscar owns the Ring.
Garcia by a methodical surgeon like breakdown ending in a tko victory over Salido late in the fight.
GGG by destruction
Burgos on points.

Yup, I'd meant to add that NBC Sports was airing Gabriel Campillo vs. Sergey Kovalev, a light heavyweight fight. (the same Campillo who got fucked on the scorecards in a title fight against Tavoris Cloud)
Re: Orlando Salido vs. "Mikey" Garcia on HBO Saturday

Burgos has been around for a while, you'll recognize him once he gets in the ring Saturday night. A good card for us fans.
cheers

Going by Boxrec the only time I could have seen him was when he fought on the undercard of Manny Marquez 3. Can't remember him though. Maybe they didn't show the fight and even if they did completely wasted isn't the best condition to judge a fighter in. :)

"Mikey" Garcia is a good California based, 25 year old fighter, who's undefeated (30-0 (KO 26).
Miguel Angel Garcia : Boxer
I pick him to win a decision over Salido, if he doesn't get KTFO.

He beat Luis Cruz that night. Cruz was undefeated going in. But like many recent upcoming Puerto Rican fighters he was hilariously overrated. The MD win should of been a UD win. Burgos handled him easily

Cheers mars Ive heard he's the brother of Robert Garcia , but in terms of the way the way he fights I've not heard anything. He's got a good record, but so did Lopez and we all know what happened to him.
Robert is his brother and in his corner. He's a boxer/puncher that is pin point in the accuracy department, switches to southpaw flawlessly and is methodical in his approach. Good defense and a good D. Here is a couple of clips.

Re: Orlando Salido vs. "Mikey" Garcia - Saturday night fight/chat thread
*I called Angel Garcia the most dangerous unknown fighter two years ago...and i stand by my statement. He's tall and knows how to fight tall. He's gunna jab and stick u with that straight right hand... if u corner him, he'll get down-right ally cat on u with heavy hard punches until he rolls out. He has dangerous power and is well schooled... I can see him winning a unanimous decision with his masterful boxing...BUT, Salido tends to get fighters to mix it up with him... if they go toe to toe, anything can happen. Salido possibly has the best chin in the busness, so it doesn't make sense to mix it up...
