If this fight goes to a decision... Salido wins the fight (unless Top Rank has other plans).
Salido has the skills and style to take advantage of Garcia's patience. Garcia will wait for the perfect opportunity to land his shot, but Salido will seldom give it to him. Salido is going to use his angles (offensively and defensively), body punching, defense, and inside fighting to take Garcia to school.
Garcia reminds me of Rocky Juarez (trade the powerful left hook for a powerful jab and right hand) and similar to Juarez, Garcia's going to have a puncher's chance, other than that, I think the wily veteran outmaneuvers him.
I think Mikey is too basic at this point and that Siri would tear through him.
If Mikey incorporates varied arsenal then I'd favor him, but Siri brings to much at this point. Siri by late TKO
It's disrespect to say a guy who hasn't been stopped since he was like a kid, all of a sudden gets stopped by some kid who doesn't even have one fight against a fighter of Salido's level. I understand people saying Garcia would win, but saying by TKO? WTF. That's worse than the people predicting Glen was gonna lose to Bute by TKO.
Mikey is no joke. for those asking who he's fought it doesnt matter since no one has given him any problems. he gets in there and works. 24 yrs young and patient as hell. sluggers like Salido would find themselves reaching to touch this kid and he would pick Salido apart.

mikey is too smart for him, outboxes him to a late tko/clear decision. billy dib is top rank now right? that means billy dib can be in the mix for either salido or garcia next.
also, jhonny gonzalez and celestino caballero are the other 2 fighters with world titles. any of them fighting each other or giving mikey garcia a shot would be great. this division should have some good matchups coming up.
Haven't seen Garcia against the top guys.
I have seen Salido go 12 with JMM, beat Robert Guerrero, knocked out Lopez twice, and go 12 with Gamboa in a competitive fight.
What has Garcia done again?
Sorry, not saying Garcia loses...i'm only saying that I haven't seen enough of him to predict whether he wins or loses. I'm on the fence, leaning towards more to Salido right now, but Garcia looks like he has good stuff, like he can be a top fighter.
Salido is a BOSS, but I think Garcia would fight him the way Juanma SHOULD have fought him twice. Garcia is a beast, his jab is harder than a right cross, and his patience, accuracy, and timing is unreal. Garcia has a bright future in boxing, even though he isn't the most flashy-entertaining guy to watch. He kinda reminds me of a Mexican Bernard Hopkins in that regard.
