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.

Are you going to San Juan to watch the fight?

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.

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.

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.

Thanks Diane, I might check that out, I was kind of in shock the 1st time I watched it, I wasn't expecting Lopez to lose.
