Comments Thread For: Orlando Salido Considers His Options After Defense

[CubanGuyNYC]

Exactly, Salido isn't a big name in boxing and is considered a good fighter but not great. He wants to milk this and make as much money as he can.

Salido ducking? LOL you guys must not have followed this mans career, he took the hard way up. Believe that.

I made a comment similar to the bold earlier in the thread. Salido may not be the best, but he embodies the notion of the "Mexican warrior." There's a guy I'd hang my hat on. He deserves a following. As someone mentioned before, Orlando's confidence is off the charts right now. His time may have come. First he goes the distance with a monster in Gamboa, then he turns a stunning upset against another beast in Lopez. It's the "Rocky" story.

Hey dude, you were right! The Salido-Yamaguchi fight turned out to be fairly entertaining. Yamaguchi was weird and unpredictable. He was all over the place. Salido had difficulty finding him, at times. When Orlando caught up with him, he started inflicting some serious punishment. Kenichi's a tough kid, though; he hung in there much longer than I would've guessed. Yamaguchi didn't belong in the same ring with "Siri," but Kenichi didn't dishonor himself.

The fight's already up on Youtube. Those "Box Azteca" commentators are funny as hell. They do boxing like it's a horse race. lol The comments are pretty hilarious, too. They think nothing of goofing on a fighter. "If Yamaguchi's head doesn't hurt tonight, he's got nothing in it!" lmao

I had a feeling it would be entertaining, I knew Yamaguch wasn't there to lay down. He seems like the kind of guy who just wants to entertain.

Those commentators are the best though. They always seem to have a really good time calling the fights.

This is a test for Juanma. He has to show that He can Box when He needs too to win a fight. He has to use his lateral movement, his longer jab to set the pace and his distance and most important, He needs to shorten his shots down the pipe and avoid all the wide hooks except for the left hook.
He needs a trainer that will recognize that and a boxer who's able.
I'm not sure all those things can happen so the fight could repeat if He doesn't meet at least at least 3 of those 4 changes.

Those are the details. Generally speaking, JuanMa is capable of beating everyone in the division if he gives up the brawler attitude. Lopez has guts and a good enough chin to withstand the occasional big blow. If he boxes, as you point out, he's even tougher than he's been. That's saying a lot.

no doubt, its funny how people underestimated him because of his 11 losses. Little do they know that he turned pro at 16 and I don't even think he had any amateur experience. Its cool to see him getting some recognition now by beating one of the best in the division.

Almost all those loses came early in Salido's career. You might say it was "on-the-job training." Eight years after he turned pro, Orlando lost a UD to Juan Manuel Marquez. Between that and the loss to Gamboa, "Siri" lost a split decision to Cristobal Cruz -- all world title fights. Salido is thirty years old. Like I said, his time may be at hand.

Did you watch that fight? or are you one of those that beleive the last 3 rounds are gonna win you a fight after being behind nearly every round before that?

Eaner has a point and even though Juanma deserved the win it was a fight that warranted a rematch more than Salido Juanma. The difference is Juanma didnt have his highest payday in a potential rematch with Mtagwa and Salido probably does.

or are you one of those who think no matter what happens in a fight as long as your man won then time to move on?

and not for nothing but you could make a case where JuanMa was being dominated in the same fashion Mtagwa was so why is it okay for one fighter not to rematch but the other one has to?
