By Dan Ambrose: Mikey Garcia had a chance to really shine and impress in beating WBO featherweight champion Orlando Salido last night by an 8th round technical decision, but the way the fight ended with Mikey saying he couldn’t breathe because of a broken nose in the 8th, it really took the shine out of the performance completely.
Salido, who had been knocked down four times earlier in the fight when Garcia had a lot energy, was coming back and punishing Mikey in the last three rounds before the fight was stopped after the 8th.
The stoppage gave the impression to some boxing fans that the tiring Mikey was looking to get saved from what could have been a really tough last four rounds.
By Dan Ambrose: Mikey Garcia defeated WBO featherweight champion Orlando Salido last night by an 8 round technical decision, but the way that Garcia won it left a lot to be desired.

What seems to be forgotten by fans is what Mikey was frequently doing when Salido would attempt to come forward to land shots.
By Dan Ambrose: In seeing Mikey Garcia (31-0, 26 KO’s) complaining that he couldn’t breathe out of his broken nose after suffering a head-butt in the 8th round against WBO featherweight champion Orlando Salido (39-12-2, 27 KO’s) last night, it made me wonder if Mikey was quitting because things were starting to turn around for Salido with him finding Mikey with his looping shots. When I think about all the warriors that have fought through really bad broken noses and then I see Mikey with a slightly crooked nose, it’s just kind of off putting to me. I think he should have fought through the pain.
