Orlando Salido

[TitoFan]

Clearly a case of fighting down to his competitions level. Him getting knocked around a bit was good for him. It's a reminder that he needs to be up for a fighters. I still favor him in the Lopez rematch. Mainly cuz Lopez showed in his last fight against Oliver that he hasn't changed a damn thing.

Unfortunately you're right. Talking to a friend of mine at work, we were pretty much saying the same thing. The Oliver fight was not impressive AT ALL. He got the job done, but took way too many punches. Do that against Salido.... and it's deja vu all over again. Shame.... 'cause Lopez has the tools. He can box, he can bang. He needs a trainer to get in his head and get him to make the necessary adjustments.

What did you think of Cotto's new trainer for Juanma?

I think he'd do wonders for Juanma. He brought the boxing back to Cotto's arsenal.... he should be able to do the same for Juanma. Particularly get him rid of his love for his own power. Like it's been said before.... that stretch of 1-round KO's for Juanma probably did him more harm than good. And like it's also been said.... Juanma fights differently here in Puerto Rico. He wants to please the crowd so much, with KO's, that he forgets his defense.

Yeah.... Cotto's new trainer would do wonders for Juanma.
Wish they'd hook up.
