Salido vs Lopez II Saturday fight thread

[CFH]

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.

Tough fight to pick a winner. I like Lopez by decision. However, I can see many outcomes playing out.

Tito - how expensive is to go to fights on the island? Similiar pricing to US?

[Manos de Piedra]

If Lopez sticks to his game plan and doesn't try slugging it out he should win a close UD but I'm not too confident in that prediction. Nevertheless it'll be a good fight, looking forward to it.

Tickets for this fight are going for anywhere from $25 to probably around $400-500 for a ringside seat, i guess. From previous experiences, the Clemente Colisseum, where the fight is being held, doesn't really have any "bad" seats. So a $25 ticket can actually get you a pretty good seat, whereas for $50 you can probably get some of the best seats in the house (I like to be a bit above the action).

It says something about Salido's confidence that he's willing to fight Lopez in Puerto Rico again.

Yeah, I think so too. And no matter what happens it should be a damn good fight.

I picked Salido to win... Why I don't know I just went with my gut.

2 variables for me here are:
JuanMa - I think this will be his last fight at FW. I think he is struggling with this weight and will move up.
Salido - Your only as good as your last performance. Let's be honest here he looked bad against what I can only describe a "coming home" fight and he was on the verge of losing.

First up, on the Showtime card: Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia vs. Bernabe Concepcion, 10 rounds.

Sounds like a pretty good size Mexican crowd in San Juan tonight.
