Mikey has to stay doing what he has been doing and take care of business this weekend. He shouldn't be listening ppl saying that he doesn't have a killer instinct and that he also should be more aggressive.

He fights very similar like his brother used to fight but Mikey is more technical

persistence anddetermination has won out for Mikey, good...CC has pretty much written himself out w/his actions...Sampson'll have 2 pull a rabbit out of the hat 2 rejuvenate his career...

Mikey's got serious skills, but if he wins tomorrow I don't understand why him vs. Salido would be in PR. The perfect landing spot for that fight would be Home Depot Center IMO, 8,000 seat capacity with a good supporting fight would probably fill the place.
