IBF featherweight champion Orlando "Siri" Salido is very motivated as there is less than a week before his meets WBA champion Yuriorkis Gamboa in a unification clash on September 11 at The Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Salido and his hall of famer trainer Daniel Zaragoza finished up some of their final rountines as the fight approaches.
"I feel that I'm very well prepared to face Gamboa. We finished up the strongest part of our training. Nothing more is needed other than staying with the weight so we come in there in the best condition," Salido told Rames Morales. "I don't like to give predictions but I just know that I'm going to climb in there and win the fight."
Salido feels very strong and says a perfect strategy has been put together with Zaragoza to win the tough fight.
"I feel very good, very strong, very motivated. I know it's a tough fight but the motivation and preparation that we had, and with the help of God, we will win," Salido said. "I dedicate the fight to all the people of Mexico. I will fight at the time of the Bicentennial and that's going to be a nice touch."
