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

[EdWins]

what a fight it was but what a b1tch Lopez was in that post-fight interview smh.

I was like "BOTH of these guys just gained all my respect for this man what warriors they are", than Lopez opens his mouth and I'm like "Okay Lopez your a hoe I lost all respect for you"

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.

Classy Bro, as boxing fans we should all recognize and give each fighter their due. Inspite of Juanma's unpleasant reaction, and the robbery in progress we shouldn't ignore the fact that we saw two warriors with hearts of true champions got toe-to-toe for 9+ incredible rounds that should go down in history as one of the best all time

[_original_]

Put a Puerto Rican and a Mexican in the ring and we have a classic fight.

Juanma is poor sport, Sore LOSER!!!

What a difference a minute can make. I think most boxing fans that saw the fight last night had a sense of respect and liking towards Juanma for having heart and fighting back against Salido's relentless pressure. Then came the post fight interview. Juanma then started saying the referee had a ******** problem and somehow that was the reason for the devastating knockdown that ended the fight, or the complete domination of 10 rounds by Salido (while close and exciting, Salido was the clear winner). Then came the comment from Juanma that he was controlling the fight and Salido did not hurt him. He was refusing to see the replay a second time because it told a thousand words.

If anything, Juanma had the officials on his side. I could over two dozen fouls from Juanma, using his elbows, forearms, pushing Salido's head down and then hitting him, many many low blows and the list goes on. Then, not sure what fight the judges were watching but they had Juanma winning the fight by majority decision at the time of the stoppage. This is why Salido said he had to knock out Juanma because it would be very tough to get a decision in PR.

Chuck Giampa, one of the best judges in the world, was working with Showtime last night as an unofficial official and had it scored correctly - giving almost all the rounds to Salido.

Stop crying Juanma and take your 2nd loss to Salido like a man!

Do the right thing for the sport and FIRE all those corrupted judges!!!! fkn animals!! Salido had no chance hadn't it been for the KO. Juanma fought a warrior's fight but his post fight interview was one of the worst in boxing's history. The ref saved his life.

I dont think a 3rd fight is called for but I would love to see it purely because the 1st two were so exciting.

Based on the scorecards I think it has to be in Mexcico because they clearly tried to rob him in Peurto Rico. Juanma may have met his match but he would have a better chance if he stuck to a strategy of hit and move. Why he tried to brawl when he was gassed is anyones guess. Suicidal tactics.

no need for a 3rd fight, juanma won't win anyway!
