Time to Regroup for those who were upset.

I wouldn't say JuanMa's chin is necessarily weak. The right hook that floored him would've knocked most fighters out. He took some very big shots between rounds 3-6 and kept coming forward but the accumulation of punches he was taking was too much and the referee was right to stop the fight.

I'm sure Juan Ma will bounce straight back. He's hardly been exposed or anything, after all he already has wins over the likes of Ponce De Leon, Lueveno and R Marquez.

We knew he could be hurt, we saw it against Mtgawa's and Concepcion but he has always managed to find a way to win.

He was definitely hurt against Salido but fighting back at the time of the stoppage.

It was a great fight and a deserved win for a nearly man like Salido, to finally get his big moment.

Juan Ma will regroup and then can back to being one of the best in the division. Gamboa is looking like the man in the division for now though.


Might be harder for Kirkland, but Khan was a world champ only a year or so on from his catastrophic loss. No reason why Kirkland can't bounce back.

Mentally he can put it down to lots of things, bad training camp, prison, premature stoppage, whatever he needs to to justify the loss.

He will need to fight smarter in future though.
