Lopez-Salido: Juanma will have to box Salido this time if he wants to win
By Dan Ambrose: If Juan Manuel Lopez (31-1, 28 KO’s) is smart he won’t even attempt to slug with WBO featherweight champion Orlando Salido (37-11-2, 25 KO’s) in their rematch on March 10th because Lopez doesn’t have the tools to beat Salido and will only get knocked out again like last time the two fighters went at it in April of last year.

By Dan Ambrose: WBO featherweight champion Orlando Salido (37-11-2, 25 KO’s) will be looking to repeat his knockout effort of a year ago against then WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez (31-1, 28 KO’s) by knocking him out a second time in their fight on March 10th at the Caliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Salido-Lopez: Orlando to beat Juanma quicker this time
By Dan Ambrose: It’s often easier for a previous winner to once again come out on top in rematches because of the confidence and memory that a fighter has from the last fight. It doesn’t even matter if the other guy came in with an excellent game plan, they still lose. I think this is going to be the case for Juan Manuel Lopez (31-1, 28 KO’s) when he attempts to avenge his previous defeat at the hands of Orlando Salido (37-11-2, 25 KO’s) in their upcoming fight on March 10th in Puerto Rico.

Lopez-Salido II moved to March 10th
By Dan Ambrose: The Juan Manuel Lopez (31-1, 28 KO’s) vs. WBO featherweight champion Orlando Salido (37-11-2, 25 KO’s) rematch has reportedly been moved from March 31st to March 10th with fight still taking place in Lopez’s home country of Puerto Rico due to his ability to draw huge crowds there. The last time the two fighters met a year ago, Salido wore Lopez down with hard right hands after discovering early on that Lopez had no defense for a right hand whatsoever.
