Saldivia all kinds of wrong for Brook?

[dan_cov]

I just can't help but feel Saldivia is all kinds of wrong for Brook.

You look at his opponents & you think whose the guy fought? Hes actually fought a lot of 154 lb'ers & some reasonable middleweights & knocked majority out cold, so that tells you this guy can hit. Hes got a wicked uppercut.
The guy hits so hard he dislocates opponents shoulders with headshots lol (He actually did this twice somehow)

He got wreckless against Ouali & caught with a perfect counter in fairness to him, that shot would of ended most guys nights.

The Jones fight was an eye opener for me & I think Saldivia is a better pressure fighter than Jones. Hes got better handspeed, he puts his shots together better, he hits harder than Jones. Jones is an effective pressure fighter but he is very limited in his approach.
Saldivia has also been a sparring partner of Sergio Martinez & Lucas Matthysse.

I think Brooks a lot more talented but stylistically this is a big threat.

Time will tell.

How well he takes a punch will play a big part, as his two losses have come via stoppage. He is going to get hit by Brook so whether he can take a good, clean punch will be important.

Brook's far more talented and his chin seems to be just fine, now that he's working with a proper conditioning coach I think he'll be set and get the W.

The Carson Jones fight for Brook was troubling to me, there's no way in hell I expected him to have that much trouble with him. Hopefully after Saldivia, given Brook wins, he can get a shot at someone like Guerrero, Berto, Malignaggi etc.

saldivia has no chin. none.

I haven't seen salvida fight before, but if he can be in brooks fact all night compared to Jones six rounds, brook is in trouble

[Evil Abed]

Brook is going to destroy him. I see no threat at all.

Similar in the lead up too Aydin Guerrero fight hype up a relatively unknown fighter in the hope he wins and then look smart or do i have the wrong guy anyway Saldivia for me is off little threat too Brook.Jones beats Saldivia for me.

Nope I was Guerrero all the way - hes one of my favourite current boxers.
I/most didn't think Jones was of much threat either and we all seen how that turned out.

I hope I am wrong on this, I just think Saldivia is better than people think and the Jones fight opened my eyes & I seen a lot of flaws. Saldivia fights a lot like Jones. He throws more feints, he cuts a ring off better, hes not right hand happy like Jones, he can counterpunch rather than go into a shell.

Brook showed a lot of flaws in that fight other than stamina, his lack of inside fighting is a tad concerning, his vulnerability to uppercuts (Saldivia's best punch for me) little head movement, relies of his footwork too much for my liking.
I'm a big fan of Brook & have been for the last 5 years or so but this is a risky fight.

Hes a fast starter but if he tires like he did vs Jones, Saldivia stops him, straight up.

Well,guess I got to watch some saldiva fights.... And if brook wins... Does he get the winner of the alexander/bailey fight?

Yeah this is an IBF title eliminator.
