You have two sluggers that will be going at it in a battle of will although Orlando Salido has hit the canvas 10 times in his last seven fights he gets up and wins. Salido been KO’d two times in round four, one time in round three, one time in round seven, and one time in round eight. However, those KO’s were early in his career at the age 34 years old he’s a veteran of many wars, and Rocky Martinez 31 years old , and is less worn down than Salido. 


Roman “Rocky” Martinez: 28-2-2 (17KO)
Height 5’8” Reach 67”
Record of opponents in the last six fights: 150-18-1
Last six fights: 4-1-1 (3KO)
Martinez has an 82% KO within the first six rounds.
Martinez has an 18% KO after the sixth round.
Martinez has a 47% KO in rounds 4&5.
Lost via a body shot TKO against Mikey Garcia and lost his WBO Super Featherweight Title.

Orlando “Siri” Salido: 42-12-2 (29KO)
 Height 5’6” Reach 67”
Record of opponents in the last six fights: 156-11-2
Last six fights: 5-1 (5KO)
Salido has a 72% KO within the first six rounds.
Salido has a 28% KO after the sixth round.
Salido has a 42% KO in rounds 3, 4, & 5.
In the last seven fights, Salido has hit the canvas10 times.
Last defeat was vs. Mikey Garcia via TD in the 8th round and he hit the canvas 4 times.

I will give the edge to Salido in this fight if Martinez doesn’t KO Salido within the first six rounds, in my opinion, Salido is hard boxer to put away and Martinez doesn’t have the power to finish him. Therefore, I see either a brutal fight for 12 rounds or a late stoppage win for Salido.
