Orlando Salido Appreciation Thread

Yeah, and that's exactly why Klimas offered him peanuts. The truth is that Loma is still a very good amateur star masquerading as a professional, he'll never be used to in fighting or body shots. The only way he beats Salido is if all those years of being a bad *ss mf have caught up with him.Comment

Not sure how you prepare for low blows. That's is a ref's job - to stop them. That ref was atrocious!
There is a youtube clip on salido's low blows which lasts 8 ****ING MINUTES!!!!
But yes, other dirty tactics - holding, treading on feet, amoungst others i am sure he would be better prepared.
In conclusion: I hated salidos [veteran] tactics, but this is the pros. They are fighting for their career and will do whatever it takes to win.
For me, this will go down in history as a classic - the difference between veteran pro and gold medal amateur styles, where all the old tricks are on display.Comment

There should be a **** Salido thread, because **** this cheating puto.
They didn't want Loma to win so they did everything in there powers to have Salido win. Loma landed the better shots and outlanded him in the fight. **** Texas and **** Lawrence "The Hoe" Cole. If you know your history you would know that Cole favors certain fighters and Salido happens to land in that category.Comment

This is a true 'Throwback' fighter.
He's a blood and guts warrior. One of my fav active boxers.
We won't see too many like him in the future.
A person you can call on the spot and get a fight at anytime.
With him, you go to a boxing match and a fight breaks out.

one of the best gatekeepers of the sport......

Salido is the gatekeeper Ortiz coulda been had he not developed into a quitter. Cotto is the gatekeeper Salido coulda been if he didn't take so many losses. Stranger still is that Salido overachieved. There are levels to gatekeeper status.Comment

Ortiz has no skills unlike Salido who has a lot of skill.
Salido is more than a gatekeeper. He's upset the apple cart many times.Comment

Salido definitely flip the script and beat guys who he wasn't expected to defeat!
That's boxing! He's a gatekeeper and exposer!
War Salido!Comment

I'm busy like everyone else but I watch and read a lot of boxing. Still learning.
