Comments Thread For: Why We Love Boxing: Revisiting Salido vs. Lopez - Fight I

Its not like PR is known for having bad decisions. They've always been reputable. I don't think that is a fair and qualifying statement

And who is 'they'? Ivan Calderon traveled down there to Mexico even though more $ would have been generated in PR.

He's basically the only one, throughout history, PR fighters are notorious for not fighting outside the island.

Mexican fighters on the other hand, have to fight outside Mexico to make that paycheck.

I just think Salido needs to dominate or win by KO or they won't give him the decision because there's no money in him winning.

The way I see it & letting Myself go by Juanma's last 2 fights against Mike Oliver(where Juanma got hit with everything Oliver threw before he KO'd the feather fisted Oliver) & aginst Salido where he ate every single straight right & uppers & by the rumors in the gym's 1 month ago here in Caguas where it was said that Juanma was STILL getting hit easily with straight rights while sparring & getting pissed off & lashing out when ever anyone(including his trainers) tried to tell him something about it & even got dropped by Oquendo(who Juanma had KO'd when they fought) while sparring with 14oz gloves, I think the ONLY way Juanma could win is by catching Salido with a good shot & KOing Salido(cause Salido has been KO'd 4 times & was dropped badly in his last fight) other than that, I see the same outcome as the 1st fight, Salido by TKO or straight up KO..UNLESS Juanma has done some adjustments in the last 4 weeks to avoid those shots, then it might work his way, but I doubt it..

I'm glad this bout wasn't called off like a certain Ortiz-Berto or Rios -Gamboa was.

They were on their way to robbing Salido, I knew it would happen. Those score cards were crazy.
