Orlando Salido VS MIkey Garcia is a dynamite fight!!

I'll be rooting for Orlando Salido, he's already beaten a better pure talent in Juan Ma Lopez twice.

He also acquitted himself very well against Gamboa.

It could be a passing of the guard with Garcia who is very solid all around, fast, powerful and hungry.

But, I'll go with Salido as I don't think he's done quite yet, he's very clever in there, tough as nails and explosive.

Very interesting fight. This will tell us if Garcia has what it takes to make it to the top. I got Salido on this one, purely for the fact that if I'm not mistaken, in Garcia's last fight, I noticed that he got stunned by a seemingly light left hook. It didn't seem like he could handle a bit of pressure too.

I could be wrong and I hope I am cos I'll be rooting for Garcia to win.

Looking at the early prices on this looms like the bookies will be favouring Garcia. I'd be backing Salido at 6/4 or bigger

I've seen most of Mikey's televised fights and I can safely say that he should not have too much trouble putting a lasso on Salido (the wild bull). He uses the whole ring, but not only that he has power in both hands, and we have barely scratched the surface of what this kid can do.

I think his handlers would not dare put him in with someone this dangerous if they did not think he could win. Mikey (UD ~8/4)

That's funny, I never saw Mikey even bothered by a punch.. What fight was it that he got rocked (@mightyfighter)?

I agree. Superb bit of matchmaking here. I'm going with Garcia. Just think it's his time. You wouldn't be shocked either way though, one of those genuine anything can happen fights.
