Garcia banged, but brutalizes Salido
Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia didn't get the knockout he had hoped for, but he kept dropping Orlando Salido -- four times in all -- until winning on a dominant eight-round technical decision to claim a featherweight title on Saturday night at the Theater at Madison Square Garden.
The best shot Salido landed? That was the head-butt that crashed into Garcia's nose in the eighth round.
When the round ended, the ringside doctor examined Garcia and determined he was unable to continue. Referee Benjy Esteves called off the fight, sending it to the scorecards.
Garcia had a huge lead: 79-70, 79-69, 79-69. ESPN.com had Garcia ahead, 80-70.
Boxing Betting Lines: If you're looking for the best advice for boxing gambling, you've certainly come to the right place. Here at Bookmaker sportsbook, we're previewing the WBO featherweight title fight between Orlando Salido and Mikey Garcia on January 19th, 2013 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Boxing Betting Online: Orlando Salido was ringside to watch Mikey Garcia in his most recent fight. Even though Garcia won the bout, Salido didn't mince words after and he believes he won't have much trouble when the pair face off on January 19th, 2013 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Salido is currently the WBO featherweight holder and will put it on the line in boxing gambling.
These two were supposed to face off on November 12th, 2012 but an injury to Salido postponed the matchup. Garcia defeated Jonathan Victor Barros instead with an eighth-round technical knockout. It improved his record to 30-0 overall and it was Garcia's 26th knockout, so he is certainly a worthy foe. Garcia won the USBA Featherweight championship by knocking out Tomas Villa on April 3rd, 2010 and then captured the NABF and WBO featherweight titles by beating Matt Remillard on March 26th, 2011.
Orlando Salido is 39-11-2 in his career. He won an IBF Featherweight championship for the first time in 2006 but was stripped of the title after testing positive for a banned substance. He finally got another belt four years later when he won a split decision over Cristobal Cruz on May 15th, 2010. Salido lost a bout to Yuriorkis Gamboa when he tried for the super featherweight championship, but beat Juan Manuel Lopez in his next fight to win the WBO featherweight championship. He has defended that title twice and has won five in a row overall.
Salido is the champion but Garcia has proven he's capable of taking the belt from him. This should be a good matchup to watch in boxing gambling.
