Three division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez was ringside in the San Juan, Puerto Rico, and watched countryman Orlando Salido retain his WBO featherweight title with a gusty ten round stoppage of hometown hero Juan Manuel Lopez. After a toe to toe war in rounds eight and nine, Salido dropped and stopped Lopez in the tenth. Last April, also in Puerto Rico, Salido stopped Lopez in the eight round to capture the title.
After the fight was over, Marquez went to the dressing room of Salido and congratulated the Mexican warrior.
