Using Angles

Orland “Siri” Salido has the ability to throw an array of punches at different angles, which makes him an extremely difficult fighter to gauge in the ring.

Siri is master of sideway movement making him very unpredictable. If he can effectively use his angles, he has the ability to frustrate Francisco Vargas.

By using angles to his advantage, Salido will be able to work the ring and effectively use his crafty counterpunching to keep Vargas guessing. One of Salido’s biggest weapons is his counterpunching–he throws wide but extremely accurate shots over the top.

Using angles on Saturday night against Vargas is key in both keeping Vargas on his toes, as well as setting up his precise counterpunches.
