Comments Thread For: Canelo-Lara: Yoandris Salinas Aims To Be Impressive

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Super bantamweight Yoandris Salinas (20-0-2, 13 KOs) plans to put on an impressive performance, when he returns to action on July 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Salinas will take part in a stay busy fight against Mexico's Enrique Quevedo (15-7-1, 9 KOs). The card will be headlined by another Mexico vs. Cuba encounter, when Saul "Canelo" Alvarez trades punches with WBA 'regular' junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara.

The return will be the first for Salinas since the twelve round majority draw against WBA champion Scott Quigg last October in London. Salinas wants to make a big impression on the Golden Boy executives, who are going to be ringside in Las Vegas.

You don't even have to read the article to get your answer. This is why it rings a bell.

Decent fighter, but nothing special. Drew with Quigg in a fight Salinas was lucky not to have lost.

I think he is more than decent, he is a very solid fighter and dominated quigg for the first 6 rounds then he tired, a better prepared Salinas would had come with the victory...

This Cu****uyNY seems to be a decent person and knowledgeble of boxing, but he seems to Project objetivity diminishing the cubans potential. Even thought I respect him I don't share his way of doing and I agree with you that Salinas can be a lot better. Also Ramon Luis will be fighting soom and should be special. I followed him in the world league of boxing and this kid has a lot of potential. I'm glad for so many good cubans atletes comming lately making us justice if profesional sports

I don't see why my opinion of a particular fighter should have any connection with my quality as a person. lol I have my opinion, you guys have yours.

I've only watched Salinas fight once, versus Quigg. I had read about him for some time and was very curious to see what he looked like. I was not impressed. What I saw was a decent fighter who was lucky to get a draw with Quigg, a guy who's not especially good himself.

I want every Cuban fighter to be great, but that's an impossibility. One of our greatest talents just lost this past weekend. It's a damn shame, because he's ruined his career with inactivity due to promotional problems of his own creation. Besides Gamboa, there are only a very few top-quality Cuban fighters. Rigo is at the top; Lara is probably next; then there's Hernandez; then there's everyone else.

I took some heat on Youtube from a few Cuban fans a few years ago, because I said I didn't think Yordanis Ugas was that good. It appears I was right. I had hopes for Angelo Santana, but he's not living up to my expectations.

I'm certainly not an expert, but I don't think it takes one to see that Salinas just isn't that good. And by that I mean that he's not a championship-level fighter capable of holding a belt for any length of time. I put Yoandris in the same category with Luis Franco. Decent fighters who can pose problems against good opposition. That's it.

I cant believe this guy's name is CubanGuy and diminishing Cuban fighters! Wow!

Still no idea what is up with Salinas he was comfortably outboxing Quigg then just seemed to totally shut off. He didn't look particularly tired, almost disinterested.

He had the opportunity of a lifetime.
