Orlando Salido stopped Juan Manuel Lopez twice before Mikey Garcia dominated Salido in their WBO featherweight title fight earlier this year.
With all due respect, Lopez doesn’t think that matters much entering his fight against Garcia on Saturday night at American Airlines Center in Dallas (10:45 p.m. ET/PT; HBO).
Lopez (33-2, 30 KOs) gave Garcia (31-0, 26 KOs) credit for defeating Solido, whom Garcia dropped four times before their Jan. 19 title fight in New York was stopped due to Garcia’s broken nose and sent to the scorecards. The Puerto Rican southpaw just thinks Garcia faced a deteriorated Salido (39-12-2, 27 KOs), not the same determined Mexican champion that twice topped Lopez by technical knockout.
