Salido vs Lopez II Saturday fight thread

[TitoFan]

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.

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.

Yes, this. Exactly.

Why are people cutting him slack for this? I've seen plenty of guys interviewed after very upsetting brutal KOs but I've never heard any of them lash out with personal attacks on the ref and accusations of straight-up corruption.

The only round I scored for Lopez was the one where he knocked down Salido. You could have scored the 9th for him if you wanted to, I suppose. I thought it was probably Salido's round but a round you could legitimately score even. The judges' scores were even more outrageous than the Cloud-Campillo scores. It really seems like the last 12 months has had an inordinate amount of just wildly wrong scores.

I just hope that the ref in fact did have his lifes savings riding on Salido for christs sake! To imply it would've had anything to do with the outcome, however....... .

Let's remember these judges for their next fights. Michael Pernick (Lopez up by two points), Cesar Ramos (same), and Denis Nelson (draw). Giampa had the right score on his unofficial scorecard, 88-83.

Salido knew he just about had to win by knockout, because chances are he wasn't going to get a fair shake on the scorecards. As it turned out Salido was 100% correct, good job taking the judges out of the equation.
