Orlando Salido vs. "Mikey" Garcia - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Mars_ax]

I've never seen Garcia before, can anybody give some details about him ? I've seen Salido a lot, he's a great fighter. I loved his wins against Lopez, especially the second one.

"Mikey" Garcia is a good California based, 25 year old fighter, who's undefeated (30-0 (KO 26).

Miguel Angel Garcia : Boxer

I pick him to win a decision over Salido, if he doesn't get KTFO.

cheers Tam

Cheers mars Ive heard he's the brother of Robert Garcia , but in terms of the way the way he fights I've not heard anything. He's got a good record, but so did Lopez and we all know what happened to him.

Robert is his brother and in his corner. He's a boxer/puncher that is pin point in the accuracy department, switches to southpaw flawlessly and is methodical in his approach. Good defense and a good D. Here is a couple of clips.

*I called Angel Garcia the most dangerous unknown fighter two years ago...and i stand by my statement. He's tall and knows how to fight tall. He's gunna jab and stick u with that straight right hand... if u corner him, he'll get down-right ally cat on u with heavy hard punches until he rolls out. He has dangerous power and is well schooled... I can see him winning a unanimous decision with his masterful boxing...BUT, Salido tends to get fighters to mix it up with him... if they go toe to toe, anything can happen. Salido possibly has the best chin in the busness, so it doesn't make sense to mix it up...
