What da ya reckon??

Go, Billy!

I reckon it is a HUGE step up for Dib...

After a few fights in the States, Billy is still unbeaten. Let us just hope he can keep his streak going.

What was the NC all about when Salido fought Guerrero a couple of fights ago for the IBF title?

Salido won the fight but then tested postive for roids...

Must be a bloody midget to go 9 stone on steroids.

A roid-raging midget, now theres an ugly thought.

You have to wonder about some of these steroid tests. A 5'6" featherweight does not sound like somebody who has been on something that increases bulk.

Steroids mainly help with recovery, so you can workout harder and then back up and do it again. Roids alone don't make you huge...

My brother was a chronic asthmatic. At 18 he was 5'3" tall and weighed less than seven stone. A doctor put him on cortico-steroids. In twelve months he was 6' tall and over eleven stone.

The steroids improved his health, but by Jesus they put some size on him.

Well the corticosteroids administered to asthmatics are not anabolic and have very mild systemic effects, there's no way in hell that they can build muscle or make someone grow. "Steroid" refers to the way the drug is taken into the cell to transcribe DNA, most steroids don't make you put on muscle.

Salido is a good fighter, I think he beat Guerrero's ass because he was the better fighter on the night. He wasn't stronger, greater stamina or anything like that IMO, he just crowded Guerrero and took away the guy's space to let his punches off. It'll be a very good test for Dib.

I am speaking from observation. My brother got bigger in the legs, chest, arms, the lot. He may have grown because his asthma had delayed his growth spurt, but nobody could deny that he bulked up. He also increased his drive with a 1 wood in golf by better than fifty yards.

What are the chances of a Billy Dib v Willie Kickett fight somewhere down the line?

Kickett will finish up too big for him.

I saw Dib for the first time vs Mtagawa.......i also got an autograph from Billy Dib, thanks to a close friend.

Dib will need to be in top shape....to go 12 rounds.....but I think he can win the rounds and beat Salido.

Just keep Salido off the steroids. We don't want another NC.

Hey guys it looks like dib is set to take on Linares after Salido. I have never seen Salido fight, but Dib will have to be in very good form to beat the Jorge Linares

Young Billy is a very talented boxer and always fit. He should do well against the North Americans.

The Dib Salido is on the same card as Witter -v- Demetrius Hopkins amd Katsidis -v- Casamayor. Is it going to be shown here? It is a HBO card.

It will be on Sky boxing. I did the search but no-one has subscribed yet. But I'm sure the usual pubs will have it on. The top three fights are all worth watching.

I have spoken to Main Event and they are in the final stages of signing the card and said they will be showing it in Australia, live.

Thanks for that, mate.

I wouldn't be looking past Salido...

That is a great card, pity it is on Easter Sunday here.

That's called a late growth spurt, an exaggeration, or both. Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory properties, not growth explosion properties.

Salido likely took Nandrolone to help preserve muscle/strength since he likely wasn't doing much lifting figuring he had to make 126.
