"We are ready for a war. We know Rocky Martinez and I know he is a strong fighter who comes forward, so I expect a hard fight on Saturday," Salido said. "Here in Puerto Rico I won two great fights (against Juanma Lopez) and fans has been very good to me, so I am comfortable and focused on this fight."

Salido, a native of Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico, is unbeaten against Puerto Rican boxers. The veteran fighter has faced four Puerto Rican fighters, with five victories over them.

In his most recent bout, Martinez won by a second rounds knockout over Herbert Quartey on December 20, 2014.

"I am in great condition, as never in my career. Salido is a strong opponent, who comes to fight, so I have to be in top condition, as I know I am," Martinez said. "And for me there is an extra motivation, first to fight again in Puerto Rico but most important to win the world title in my country".
