is salido vs martinez really PPV?

[TitoFan]

Not PPV material, I agree. I'm only going 'cause I got some free tickets.
Should be a pretty good boxing card all around, though.

Damn, that's a nice fight to be at, is it in Puerto Rico

Haven't been to a live boxing event in awhile, so I'm kinda excited. Supposedly there's 9 fights in all, so I'll try to be there early and catch all the action. A group of us are going, and we'll probably get dinner and a few drinks at this pub just across the street from the venue. That, and a pair of binoculars for the ring girls... and we should be all set.

I've heard Puerto Rico is a terrific place to catch a fight. Have a good time.

This isn't a PPV like a Floyd fight, it's an independent PPV because it wasn't picked up by HBO or Showtime etc.

Martinez-Salido should be an action-packed fight and possibly the best fight of the night, including the fights in NY. Salido crushed Puerto Rican boxing fans' hearts when he stopped JuanMa twice. Martinez has a chance at winning one back for the island. I bet there will be real boxing energy there.

I think it's a 50-50 fight. Salido has been on the decline for awhile. He's a very old 34. He's been in several wars. Some against fighters who have no business taking him to war. In his last 10 fights Salido has gone 8-2. But he's been dropped 12 times. His punch resistance has left him. But he usually always gets up. So the heart is still there. Salido holds wins over Juan Manuel Lopez x2, the Fag Orlando Cruz, Carlos Gerena and Omar Adorno. He has no problem making boricuas his bitches.

Martinez has heart and can punch. But really he's not that good of a fighter. He has 2 losses officially on his record. But anybody that has followed his career knows he should really have 6. Juan Carlos Burgos, Diego Magdaleno, Francisco Lorenzo and Miguel Beltran all deserved W's against him

Martinez is not that good.... what a news flash. I've been saying as much for years. However, what else to expect from you but to say his four SD wins should have been losses. His win against Beltran was in Nevada... so you can't claim hometown advantage on that one. And yes... Salido's 34. And Martinez is a pretty worn 32. So what? They've both been in some wars. As for Salido's wins... yeah... he's beaten some ready good P.R. fighters. The great Omar Adorno, who finished all of 16-10-1 with 6 KO losses. Future HOF'er, that one. Gerena? He lost a majority decision to Salido, in Texas, to boot. Should I claim Gerena was robbed and should've won that one? The others are Lopez, his true wins.... and a Cruz who had no business in there in the first place. Who's gonna win Saturday night? Yeah... the only thing I agree on it's a 50/50 fight.
