Comments Thread For: Same As It Ever Was: Salido Wins Another Classic in PR

[PR ESQ.]

Happy Salido kicked his ass. Instead of being a gentlemen and acknowledging that Salido is just better, he compounded his embarassment. lopez is a disgrace and hopefully wiLl realize that he is done and should cut his losses now or he will end up like ali and roach! dumb game plan and just a dumb fighter. I hope Salido gets some big paydays!

Good fight but God, how could judge Ramos & Pernick have Lopez ahead, even w/a Knockdown he was ouscored more'n 2-1 & ref Ramirez, so slow,& what was he waiting 4 2 stop it, Valcarcel's OK ??? Ramirez sr is done as a ref & he shouldn't be allowed 2 judge ( all organizations allow this & IMO a ref ref's, period..Ramirez is worse than Cotez, but WBO protects theirs...Lopez is a finished boxer & if he goes up he'll get beat worse...

Am I the only one shocked on how salido face looked.

Lopez has power.

I'm happy that salido acknowledged that.

He didn't look like he got hit clean that much, so I was definitely surprised by how swelled he was.

Salido could possibly have wound up getting robbed in this fight. Why does not the organizations put these judges in front of them to explain their scoring ? Salido could only win by knocking Lopez out, the fix was on.

The Racket Squad: A Classic Is Called Corrupt By The Loser?

Surely the fight of the year thus far.
Then Lopez opened his mouth and sewage came out.
He should not fight again.
But should a trilogy be fought, scorecards proved that a 3rd contest must take place in Mexico.

Watching the TV Azteca replay they showed an already exhuberant state of elation on the part of Siri's wife (during the 10th rd KD) only go up yet another level as the ref puts a halt to the fight. What a sight among the backdrop of a silenced, stunned and dissapointed Puerto Rican crowd. What a fight and what a feeling it must be for Salido and his team to go into PR and do it yet again especially in light of what we now know was in the works in regards to the fight scores. Regardless of the winning side, yet another chapter in the best rivalry in boxing - Mexico n Puerto Rico - respect to the effort put forth by both fighters

Salido was a beast getting up off of the floor, and coming back like it never happened. Never tiring, and relentlessly putting pressure. In the eighth you could see Juanma was clearly exhausted running on fumes, meanwhile Salido just started on the gas. Remind me of when Salido fought Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero and beat the crap out of him, and afterwards got popped hot for Nandrolene. Anti-doping testing needs to be conducted across the board, once a cheater, always a cheater.

You can't cry foul every time your favorite fighter loses. Facts are Salido is the same guy who lost to Marquez and Gamboa. If he was a cheater for only his wins then why not his loses. F that man! Give props when and where it's due. Stop making excuses and stop being a nuthugger in this blog. People tired of that crap too! Mosley was busted and guys like you still kiss his ace. So what's the problem now?

what does it matter? I saw plenty of elbows in that area. Salido was just showing class by not mentioning the elbow

I am puertorrican and feel like we need to apologize, not to mexicans only, but to the whole boxing world for the stealing that was taking place in PR. Orlando Salido kicked Juanma's butt again. He was much busier, more accurate, stronger and braver. The referee tried to save Juanma from misery by stopping the fight but Juanma's speech after the fight let us know that he was really gone already. Shame on you Juanma, and shame on the 3 judges as well. Cong**** to Siri.

Salido prevented a robbery.
