    Quiggs certainly grown as a fighter though I feel hes chinny & this fight has come to soon. Salinas has too much experience and I feel his record doesn't quite indicate the power he has. Hes not a massive puncher but hes definitely got good power & is very precise. I really can't ignore Quigg being decked twice very heavily against very light hitting opposition.

    I'd be lying if I said I couldn't see something controversial happening though.

    Gotta go with the underdog & probably a stoppage.
    I haven't seen much of Salinas, and I'm only going on what I seen Quigg do.
    Scott has great shot selection, very disciplined, throw some great hooks and has very good timing.

    Should be a good one.

          Quiggs active he throws a lot of punches, hes got very good power, underrated bodypuncher. Hes a good prospect & has improved leaps and bounds but his defense certainly has room for improvement.

          Salinas is heavily influenced by Floyd. Hes aggressive, hes very good timing & outstanding defense. He seems to often get stuck in cruise, he shows little urgency which hes going to have to if hes to have a chance of a decision in the U.K
          He tends to fight in bursts which could be a problem should this go the distance.

          I have to take Salinas here. Too experienced, too crafty and just a flat out better boxer than Quigg.
          In fact I see him countering Quigg senseless. That right hand over that lazy ass jab is going to find the mark all night.

              Salinas is a decent fighter, but he's fought some very crummy opposition. Yoandris has literally only fought a couple of decent opponents. He scored a draw versus one of them. Quigg hasn't fought great opposition either, but he's fought more decent opponents than Salinas. Of course, in the end, it only matters how they fight against each other. If what you're saying about Hearn is true, Yoandris's chances aren't terribly good. A knockout is, of course, possible, but not likely. Still, I've got my fingers crossed for Salinas.

                The WBA 122 belt is vacant? Why did Rigo vacate it?

                  They probably made him super champ or something like that

                    Yeah, he seems like a tricky opponent.

                    Not to convinced about his power, jab needs to be stiffer, good defence though.

                    Quigg left hook and body shots will be key, I think Quigg will win the jab battle.

                    Still confident in my Quigg on points prediction after seeing Salinas fight.

                      Salinas is a joy too watch. He holds two wins over Zou Schming and fought Gamboa & Rigondeaux in the AMs.
                      He was a top amateur. He is a decent fighter and IMO he will beat the questionable chinned Quigg.

                      He has 350 fights under his belt, hes seen a dozen Scott Quiggs.
                      His amateur record caught my eye, but Shiming is very ordinary.

                      Also from what i have seen of Quigg his chin looks solid to me, what makes you think it is questionable?.
