Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-06-04, fantastic fight thanks to an amazing performance by both boxers: this was an absolute war and this is what we want from a candidate for Fight of the Year 2016, Francisco Vargas vs Orlando Salido gets five stars!The undefeated Wbc champion Francisco Vargas entered this fight with a boxing record of 23-0-1 (17 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.1 super featherweight in the world. He fought twice last year beating Will Tomlinson (=Vargas vs Tomlinson) and Takashi Miura (The Ring magazine Fight of the Year 2015, Miura vs Vargas).
His opponent, the former world champion in two different weight classes Orlando Salido, has an official record of 43-13-3 (30 knockouts) and he entered as the No.10 in the same weight class but his last victory occurred in 2014, against Terdsak Kokietgym (4-stars fight, Salido vs Kokietgym). After this bout ‘Siri’ Salido faced Roman Martinez twice in 2015 losing the first fight (=Salido vs Martinez I) and drawing the second one (=Martinez vs Salido II). Vargas vs Salido is valid for the WBC World super featherweight title (Vargas’ first defense). Watch the video and rate this fight!
