Lopez is tarnishing what respect I gained for him by ranting on stoppage and ref

I think he's clearly still knocked out

It's frustration, dude. Someone in JuanMa's camp should step in and do some damage control. JuanMa just went to hell and back, and lost for the second time in his career... and against the same guy... in his hometown. And he's being interviewed literally seconds after being KO'ed. You can't really hold this shit against him too much. He'll probably regret it tomorrow.

Anybody else maybe but haven't you fucking notice Lopez is always fucking complaining about something? Come tomorrow he'll have even more things to complain about

For the record, I didn't like the way they complained about a premature stoppage in the first Salido fight..... and I sure as hell didn't like his rant against the referees now. I'm sure he'll regret saying that shit tomorrow (or maybe even later tonight), but the damage is done. It's too bad, really. 'Cause he left it all out there in the ring and along with Salido made this one of the classic fights of our times.

Lopez heart has never been an issue. He loves fighting. And it shows. He's fun to watch. Problem for him is he's a sucker for the right hand. Always has been. I don't see him ever being champion again

He does love to fight. Kind of reminds me of Trinidad in that regard. But I didn't realize just how bad his defense is and how vulnerable he is to the overhand right. He took SO many shots tonight. It pains me to say it.... but I kind of have my doubts myself about JuanMa's future. First, his lack of defense will always be his Achilles heel. Second, he's quickly becoming battle-worn. An old 28-year old, if you will. Shit..... and he started out so well.

Really it's not even a defense thing. He can avoid punches when he wants too. It's an ego thing. He thinks so highly of himself that he doesn't think he does anything wrong. If things don't go his way it's somebodies else fault. Never his own. It's one of the reasons he's always complaining and arguing with the refs. I thought the loss to Salido in there first fight would of brought him down some. But it was obvious in the Mike Oliver fight that it didn't. He won it early but it was obvious he hadn't learned a damn thing. He got hit with the same right hands he always gets hit with. Lopez hasn't made any adjustments since his first loss cuz in his head it wasn't his fault he lost. It was the ref's

[killersheep]

Damn the way Lopez's head snapped back and forth when he elbow hit the canvas was brutal, hell of a fight. Great credit to both men in there for putting on a great show.

I don't know. Look how he started tonight. He started timidly, giving Salido way too much respect. He even looked gun-shy, and the announcers picked up on it also. It took a few rounds for him to loosen up and begin boxing and trading with Salido. But he's way too open for Salido's shots. And they were hurting him. For awhile I thought... oh no... it's looks like it might end even earlier than the first fight. Amazingly enough, he caught Salido with a short left hook that I didn't even see until the replay. Unfortunately for JuanMa, the round was almost over. Then JuanMa got some bravado into him and began plugging forward. But Salido's shots were still getting through. I don't really know what it is. But it's obvious Salido has JuanMa's number. Where JuanMa goes from here is anybody's guess. It'd be sad to see him hang it up, 'cause I also enjoy watching him fight. But he's got some serious analysis to do about the direction his career has to go at this moment. But yeah.... he's got to mature and stop blaming the refs for his troubles. It doesn't look well, and isn't going to win him any new fans.

[Mars_ax]

Even though it had happened already in the first fight, seeing Lopez knocked senseless was still a bit of a shock. Salido was just fucking relentless, and while he was able to take Lopez best shots, Lopez could not take Salido's pressure and power. I won't say Lopez ever gave up trying, but it looked like he had totally given it his all and/or was punched out when the KO came in the 10th round.

[Diane]

Wow! That was a great fight!

Salido & Lopez both showed a lot of heart, but damn Salido is just one tough mother fucker.

I don't know what that hell Lopez was thinking with his post interview bullshit though. That was pretty retarded.

[p4pking]

Yeah, just an epic fight so glad I tuned in last minute. Lopez should be cut some slack for his post fight interviews, but not entirely let off the hook imo. That ref probably just added YEARS to his life, no kidding whatsoever. Lopez was SO fucked. And he wants to talk about how the ref had a gambling problem? Clearly that wasn't entirely a heat of the moment thing.

Hey, I actually agree. Hopefully he'll be fined and given an admonishment for dumping on the refs like that. I didn't like it after the first Salido fight... and I certainly liked it even less after this fight. It's one thing to be frustrated. It's quite another to unnecessarily dump on refs that have done a good job.

It was especially bad form the more I think about it. That ref did a perfectly good job, he wasn't a factor in the fight whatsoever and would've been completely out of line to let it continue. Let alone the fact that 2 judges actually had Lopez WINNING, he is fucking batshit to be complaining about any of the officials and probably burnt some bridges for himself big time.

[Gandalf]

I think what Lopez said was outrageous. He gave no credit to his opponent, thought he was dominating and then makes a completely random attack on the referee. And then seeing those scorecards.

The fight was fantastic, so it's a shame to have those kinds of things detract from it.

Lopez should seriously consider his future because I think he is done at the very top. He isn't smart enough to adapt and eats right hands for breakfast. He will have brain damage the way he is going.

Agree...I think he's in all seriousness still Fubar and lashing out. Kind of gives a 'boy cries wolf' when bashing refs-judges though.
