Three reasons why this won't happen:
1) Donaire only fights ****ty competition smaller than him. I guess we can give him props for fighting Vasquez.
2) Salido would be pressuring all fight long not giving Donaire enough time to do his usual antics/show off.
3) Bob Arum would not want Salido blemishing another one of his fighers' records (Im aware Donaire already has 1 loss)/career.
i think salido's consistency and fighting temperament would lead to a decision victory. i think that he could take donaire's best if he had to as well.
First, allow both Boxers to unify their respective Weight Divisions, then, probably next year, both will be ready for that Title bout at 126lbs!
It will be an exciting fight, but, I like Donaire to win, he's got speed and power
and can relate smoothly with Media, as he can speak English, fluently!
Salido would be too big and strong for donaire. Donaire should stay at 122 for a while. There are a lot of good fights for him there Nishioka, Rigo and with some of the best 118 pounders moving up eventually.
YUP Nonito wont be succesful @ 126 or above, Like a youtube comment I read that opened my eyes to the reason is this. His face doesnt hold up, Look how badly his face swole up against Vasquez jr, Imagine what JuanMa or Salido will do to him, Sorry to say but Nonito end is comming up soon and fast
Salido isn't too big or strong for Donaire as many claim. Salido wide looping punches ala Darchinyan would have Donaire licking his chaps and ready to set his foot to land them deadly left hooks on Salido face.
Donaire's left hook can crumple anybody at any weight class. Slick boxers like Gamboa, Rigo, Moreno and Broner would be tough for Donaire.
But fighters like Salido or Mares is a KO of the year waiting to happen. Specially how Salido launches his face when he throws them over right hand.
Agree 100% here. He may have looked good against Juanma, but Juanma's defense is horrible, I see Donaire countering him with big shots over and over and possibility getting the stoppage.
I'd comfortably pick Donaire to win that and while I'd be interested, Donaire-Moreno or Mares, Nishioka and Rigo are equally as appealing so I don't see the need for him to move up.
I don't see that happening anytime soon. By then Salido, will be a shot fighter imo.
122 has Nishioka and Rigo, and will have Mares and Moreno. Donaire should stay at 122 and fight at least a few of these guys.
