Comments Thread For: Juanma Heads To Mexico, Eyes Salido Rematch

[CubanGuyNYC]

In a perfect world that would be true but in reality the fighter who is the draw call the shots.

From what I understand, the fight is set to be fought in Puerto Rico. It has to mean that the fight is expected to draw more people in P.R. I couldn't imagine any other reason why the champ, Salido, would agree to fight there.

On another note: I'm growing increasingly curious about the rematch between "Siri" and JuanMa. By the time this one comes up, I'm going to be very anxious to see the result. Will Lopez bring something new? Will it be enough? Will Salido be able to reproduce what we saw in the first meeting?

Even if JuanMa fights exactly as he did in the first fight, he might land a bomb and take Orlando out. Then again, "Siri" has shown he's very solid; he might duplicate his earlier performance. If Salido makes it past this defense (which I fully expect him to), the sequel with JuanMa is going to be fun.

Juanma has to box more and avoid Salido's right hand which got to him all night long before the tko stoppage. I could see Juanma coming in with his usual face first brawler style though as soon as he gets tagged and that will be very dangerous for him since Salido has proved that he can rock him.

This dude just fought Juanma and Gamboa back to back and is going to fight Juanma again after this defense Come on my man you making Rican boxing fans look bad.

One thing ive noticed about Salido is that he knows how to fight southpaws very well. He fights out of this weird crouch and goes right hand crazy as soon as he gets close to them. He also throws more looping right hands against southpaws than he does against orthodox fighters. If juanma doesnt clinch and hold on to him on the inside to prevent him from doing that he will lose again.

[PunchesNbuncheS]

Oh wait sorry I meant to say it sounds like youre putting down another fighter a certain fighter whos name rhymes with "void". You should just be clear and up front about it instead of beating around the bush. Most of us here can read in between the lines homie!

Ugh.

Yeah unfortunately for us fans boxing is a business and the best fights and the "right thing" doesnt always happen because of that.
