I agree with your predictions but I'm not so sure how easy it's going to be for Lopez. Salido is a good fighter who went 12, and knocked down for the first time ever, Gamboa last year. Most experts seem to think Lopez is 1 and Gamboa 2 at 126 but I have that reversed and I wouldn't be surprised to see Salido give JuanMa at least as much trouble as he gave Gamboa.

Good call...

Pretty sure juanma loses in another few seconds anyway but damn it ruined the dream fight!

As an admitted Gamboa complete homer, I think he'd destroy Salido in a rematch after the way he looked last fight against Solis

Just caught the HBO Main Event, what a fun fight. Thumbs up to both men.

I'm surprised Berto hung on, he did well considering the early beating. Neither guy has a chance against Manny of PBF, imo.

The refereeing was good, puts Vegas to shame. No clinching, and he made it very clear to keep heads out and to watch the back of the head. Good to see for a change.

Berto needs to throw his brother out of his corner. You can't have some idiot chattering non stop with the trainer trying to settle a shaken fighter between rounds. They aren't fighting bus drivers anymore, leave the corner to professionals.

Good post fight interviews by Larry with the principles, they seem like 2 genuinely good kids.

Agreed on both points.

Edwards' trainer is Jeff Warner, a former heavyweight boxer and pro wrestler. Warner predicts big things for Edwards. "He's the greatest conditioned heavyweight ever and he'll knock out any fighter in the world. No one looks like Ray, no one moves like Ray and no one works like Ray."

Come on now...

Warner says Edwards is a great prospect, but Warner also once had a fight billed with a fighter named Bill Corrigan that had some shady circumstances. Corrigan had knocked out Warner in Warner's second pro fight in 1991, and then in 1997 the two supposedly fought again, with Warner winning by TKO. But Corrigan claims he didn't fight Warner that night, and that an impostor fought under his name in Grand Island, Nebraska. Warner also fought a guy named Bill Borrea a bunch, with Borrea usually fighting under an assumed name. So, you know -- we'll see about Edwards.

I'm pretty sure you can take anything Warner says with a massive grain of salt.
