    Salido-Martinez was a great fight.

    Great fight last night. Gonna go out on a limb here and say that Salido is a great fighter. To me, he encapsulates more or less the prototypical Mexican fighter, ****ed up record with most losses coming when he was fifteen years old and professional, tough and durable dude, relentless pressure, and heart. Inconsistent with his performances, but always fun to watch.

    Last night's fight was a shame, in terms of scoring. Was not really a close fight and had it maybe 8-4, or 9-3 Salido. Just beat Martinez post to post. But, gotta give it up to Martinez, dude has heart and kept fighting until the end, amazing ****ing chin. Great fight, maybe fight of the year, don't know. Just really great action. I think Salido's body work paid dividends, but gave it up toward that last part of the fight.

    Thought Rocky won the first fight, but was also kind of taking a beating toward the end of that fight, too.

    Props to both dudes, warriors.

    What did you guys think of the fight?

      Really fun fight. I couldn't believe that a judge scored it for Martinez. He won four rounds, max. Salido was really beating him up in the middle rounds.

        While I think Salido gets away with one too many low blows, he definitely should have won the fight..

          I would agree, but he really wasn't that dirty versus Martinez. I thought it was a robbery, I don't see how anyone could score that a draw much less a win for Martinez. That guy is always way too lucky in the scorecards, Burgos also beat his ass and somehow didnt get the win.

            Is this fight on youtube yet? Didn't see it because although the undercard was good, i couldn't justify buying the ppv

              The undercard was great, as advertised. I thought Martinez won. It could have went either way but it wasnt a robbery. Its as close as a fight could get and it was a draw which is fair. I want to see a 3rd and 4th fight. They have a rivalry going.

                I figured it would be - I'll have to check it out.

                Salido is awesome - would be sweet to see him live.

                    Great fight but Siri was robbed. Man, that pressure he was bringing and those body shots! Woooo, I been on the end of those and it's not fun.

                    I hate when boxing does this type of stuff. It really makes you understand how corrupt the sport really is.
