Comments Thread For: Salido Eyes Garcia, But Wants Nonito Donaire Showdown

[boxing956]

Great Fights, Salido the favorite over donaire after he knocks this kid out, great to see what garcia is made of.

[gbonafide]

salido will kill garcia,

Seriously, dude? You probably had Morales beating Garcia too, huh? Siri ain't gonna make it to Nonito if he actually does fight Mikey.

[devildg]

he's gotta take the test IMO, would be ridiculous if Donaire is taking VADA while this Mexi-cheat is allowed to juice up, otherwise what is the point

either no one takes the test, or everyone takes it

Nonito is the truth, Salido is the boogey man - real talk, Mickey Garcia is very good, he can pull off the upset, he impresses me with his dominance every performance, but Salido is a chin checker, very determined, very strong Boogey man type fighter, Nonito will KO Salido, not only does he get hit alot, he gets hit cleanly alot...and if you've noticed with Nonito's last 3 fights, his opponents are afraid to open up and engage or commit, that is all that needs to be said about Nonito, his last fight was against the so called best in his division, and as soon as dude opened up it was over..Arce doesn't have a chance in HELL

Nothing pathetic about it. Salido is a warrior. The guy has literally fought his way to the top. If he wants to cash out, that's his prerogative. He's earned it.

If only Rigo would fight his way to the top and earn it too.

Both Garcia and Donaire will beat Salido.

I understand your sentiment, but you're comparing apples to oranges.

Salido started his career at the tender age of fifteen. (With possibly no amateur experience at all.) "Siri" lost a lot of early bouts (which is why many people underrate him). He's a real blue-collar champ. Orlando had to claw his way to the top.

Rigo, on the other hand, couldn't be more different. He's literally a living amateur legend. Like it or not, great amateurs have always had a leg up on their fellow pro rookies. They're simply more proven than your typical newbie professional.

There's simply no reason why Donaire can't fight Guille now. "Earning" a shot is really a weak demand. "El Chacal" won an interim WBA belt in his seventh pro fight and the "full" version in only his ninth. Rigondeaux is "Ring" magazine's #1 contender. If Nonito doesn't want to give Rigo an opportunity, that's his choice; but let's not pretend the reason is because Guillermo has to "earn" anything.

solid post...

[fraubau]

im actually more interested w a donaire-salido bout. actuallys feels like this has more substance than fighting them guys at sbw.

[garfios]

IMO Salido will kick the crap out Garcia and Donaire, specially if Nonito fight him in his first 126 contest, Garcia has look great against bums and cab drivers, Salido is a different beast...
