the other interesting thing i just realized is that lopez was a last minute replacement for both the ortiz fight and the vargas fight. lopez had fought just 3 weeks before fighting vargas and was cut in that fight.

lopez will have been able to fully devote himself to training with the knowledge of who his opponent is. when i watched the video i was surprised to see how big lopez look as compared to how he looked against ortiz. i figure it's preparation.

i think its gonna be a good fight.
