Salido stops Lopez!! Is this it for Juan Ma?

[Mars_ax]

Guess Lopez did not want it bad enough.. lol..(for those of you that remember our old thread) Great, awesome fight. Assessing Juan Manuel Lopez where does he go from here? Is this it for the fighter who people had great potential and was once regarded by some as p4p?.. It's crazy because he's a young fighter but I believe this is it for him.

... another thing after the fight was he suffering from a concussion or is this guy really delusional thinking he was dominating? ... I'm not even going to bring up the stoppage he was way out on his feet.. I wish the ref would of let him go so salido would of shut him up for good

ironically enough i was thinking this before the fight even happened, if he couldn't get passed Salido then there's not really much more for him, unless the weight is an issue which I doubt, IMO he's shot himself in the foot, a bit like Hatton really, too much weight gain, no change or improvements, power happy, he might as well call it a day

In the first fight Lopez took a pretty good shellacking, and he was badly hurt by the 5th round KD and never fully recovered, but he lived to fight another day. This time he totally got his ass kicked, it's hard to imagine him recovering from a beating like that, and competing at championship level again.

I will say this, Lopez showed a ton of heart last night, he's got nothing to be ashamed of, he gave it his all, Salido was just the better man

Great fight and both can be proud of their showing. Great action packed fight. There were no losers.

mosley lost some fights but he didn't take a total beating.

More importantly, Mosley wasn't that damn easy to hit in the fights he was winning.


If anyone doesn't think getting hit in the chin cleanly (which has happened to Lopez alot) by the guys Lopez beat, then they are crazy.

Just because he was bigger than most of them and knew he would be able to withstand the punches but they wouldn't, doesn't mean willingly taking their shots doesn't take something out of a fighter.

Don't look just to the beatings he took against Salido. Look at everyone landing cleanly their best shots on his chin in their fights.
