Finito Lopez Vs Jung Koo Chang aka The Korean Hawk

[FinitoElDinamita]

Who wins this ultimate matchup and why?

[Lineal]

I would favor Lopez to be a bit too good for Chang. I really would have like to have seen Lopez vs Marc Johnson.

[Dark Lord Al]

Both Jung Koo Chang and Myung Woo Yuh where great fighters , but both lacked power.
Ricardo Lopez had everything in his locker , including KO power going either forward or backwards , he wins because of this.

Chang was a guy I always wanted to see. It used to be hard to see some fighters. I knew about a lot of mexican fighters because i was always in mexican gyms and I used to go to juarez to see the fights. But Asian guys, I didn't see. Today I watched Chang and Chitalda.

Chang can't beat Lopez. that is a 3-5 round fight, max.

Lopez. Chang would be competitive for the first 2 rounds. Than Lopez smashes him. Lopez was an A+ fighter. Chang was a B-

I dont know what kind of shit you laced on that blunt but calling chang B- level fighter is the most asinine shit ive ever heard!

People in the west dont pay attention to asian boxing so I understand but you couldnt be more wrong, VD..

A fighter whose arguably the best fighter ever of his division is a B- level fighter?

Dont get me wrong cuz as u can see on my sig and avi,, Finito lopez is one of my favorite fighters ever but to say that Chang wouldnt last more than 2 rds is plain stupid..

A knock on both these fighters is that their resumes are pretty shallow which isnt their fault but ....

Who exactly did Finito fight to make u believe that he would walk over Chang?

U just trippin

Glad you took the time to watch Chang but I think you've seen only glimpses of him..

I agree that Lopez beats him but in 3-5rds you say?? that's ludacrious bro! Im 99% sure that it would last much longer than that. If anything, Finito finishes him in the championship rounds but even that's far fetched..

Chang and Yuh Myung Woo are considered as the best junior flyweights of all time on most historian's lists, including mine.. The top spot is actually a toss up between Chang and Woo...

Chang at his best was a beast my man.. He was like an energizer bunny with a style that resembled Duran and Arryon pryor.. He was like a mixture of both..

He threw high volume of punches and did it non stop from start to finish. He had incredibile work rate and his mobility was quick and efficient.

Judging from the size advantage, Chang may have tried to clinch and slip against Lopez and would not allow Lopez to use his quickness by moving around the ring and looking for the perfect timing to land hard shots. Due to Chang's incredible cardio, I dont see him being pushed into the ropes as he would have responded with rapid assault through flurry of punches as his counters. However, Chang had never been a true power puncher, as he only had 40% KO rate. He relied on mobility and boxing efficiently. Chang had a crazy strong chin as his only KO loss was the last bout of his career which was when he was shot to shit..

Chang at his best was a buzz saw straight up and his opponents had to work every minute of every round just to stay in the fight..

Put a gun to my head and Ill pick Finito by narrow decision but I wouldnt be surprised if Chang battered him..

Chang may have never fought a boxing master like Finito but Finito himself has never faced a relentless monster like Chang..

It's a toss up..

My friend, I watched those fights, and i respect your opinion about boxing. But you aren't going to trouble, much less beat, ricardo lopez with that straight ahead, throw punches style. That is made to order for him. I watched Chang vs Gonzalez and he took a ton of punches. Lopez hit harder and cleaner.

[Violent Demise]

Chang style was made for Lopez. He would dissected him. Chang's aggressiveness would be his downfall against Lopez

If only lopez had been 40-50 pounds heavier! He was an AMAZING fighter but the little guys never get recognition. I think Lopez, if u really watch him fight, was better than anyone else during that generation. That includes sweet pea, Roy, Evander, and Chavez. He was HUGE for his weight, and a more complete fighter than any of those guys. Pea had better defense, but worse offense n couldn't hit as hard. Evander was tough n a solid boxer, but not as good defensively or as disciplined in a fight. Roy was faster n unorthodox but Lopez was the much better technician n tougher than Roy. Chavez was a tough as nails n had a great body attack, but he could never move, box, n dominate both the inside n outside like Lopez

Not sure that it is a complete blow out, but I wouldn't be shocked if it was. If lopez caught u with a good one, that was all she wrote.
