Comments Thread For: Argenis Mendez: I Know All of Salgado's Weaknesses

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Argenis Mendez knew midway through his first fight with Juan Carlos Salgado that something dramatic needed to happen in order to leave Mexico with a victory and the vacant title that would come with it.

It almost happened for the Dominican, who rallied hard in the second half of their Sept. ’11 bout, a run that included a 12th round knockdown to close strong. It wasn’t enough, as the judges decided Salgado’s early lead was enough to hold on in the end.

Salgado remains a 130 lb. titlist to this day, which is good news for Mendez (20-2, 10KO). There were always designs on gaining revenge. His chance now comes with not just a title at stake, but also with televised coverage on Televisa and HBO Latino when the two meet this weekend at the OC Hangar in Costa Mesa, California.

Mendez is the most skillful of the two. Mendez wins if he lets his arms go...but that's the problem with Mendez. He tends to admire his work too much and forgets to pick up round after round. Let's see what he does this time.

That's the thing, skills dont always win you fights if you dunno how to use them or use them right. In Mendez's case, like you said, he doesn't let his hands go. Salgado doesn't have the greatest chin either but he's had success with it so far.

Unless someone convinces me I'm gonna have to stick with Salgado.

Salgado just barely seems to win all his fights with the exception of the Barros fight. Salgado is a decent fighter but he fades late in fights. This is a 50/50 fight IMO.

One more post like this and I'm gonna find myself changing my pick.

I remember when Mendez was training in Oxnard with Robert Garcia and Garcia said Mendez was the laziest boxer but the most skillful he ever trained.

Rigondeaux beat both these guys in the ams, just throwing that out there.

The thing with Mendez is that he seems to learn a lot about you once he fights you. For example when he first fought Honorio everyone believed it was a close fight. The next time they fought Mendez made look easy....so, with that in mind I think he takes this fight convincingly. I could be wrong but I doubt it. Anything is possible in boxing though...
