Salido vs Lopez II Saturday fight thread

[Mars_ax]

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.

Not a bad pick considering what happened the 1st time. I believe Lopez will be more focused this time, (he'd better be) improve his defense, and box his way to a UD. A KO for Lopez would be sweet, but Salido is tough to hurt, if I were Lopez I wouldn't concern myself with a stoppage, if it comes it comes.

lopez needs to make some changes. the salido fight wasn't an isolated occurrence.

Mtagwa had him in deep trouble late. He has gotten by on being very fucking big for the weight classes he fights in. He allows smaller guys to hit him cleanly.

When he starts fighting bigger guys he is going to get cut down if he doesn't defend much better.

He needs to box more, and show a better defense, if he goes all macho and throws caution to the wind like he did in the 1st fight, he'll get stopped again.
Anyway, the Undercard on SHO-Extreme starts in about 10 minutes.

cheers

Alrighty, here we go with SHO-Extreme, "Gerbil" Farhood, Barry Thomkins, calling the undercard which will be: up first Arroyo vs Maldonado.

[Mars_ax]

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.

I'd like to see Abe win this, but Garcia might be too much for him.
