Showtime/BoxNation - Marcos Maidana vs. Josesito Lopez Saturday Fight Night Chat

[CFH]

Maidana just isn't the same at 147. He's too small, has iffy punch resistance, and can't stop guys with one shot like he used to do.

[IamInuit]

Lopez cant miss.

[bzkfn]

Lopez is a mentalist. Guy just loves a good tear up. Great fight thus far, he fucked Maidana up in that round.

2-2 after 4 for me.

Maidana hates body shots.

EVERYBODY does!

Yeah I'm not sure why he went there. I didn't hear of any issues making weight prior to this.

My thoughts exactly. Not even Oliver wants some more.

Obviously, but Maidana just can't handle them like some other fighters can.

[CFH]

Good come back round for Maidana.

[CFH]

Great punch. Definitely FOTY for me so far.

[CFH]

Man, I feel bad for Lopez there. He was on the verge of a big upset and I wish he had taken a knee.

[IamInuit]

That stoppage looked premature

[bzkfn]

Commentators saying stoppage was early but he'd just been knocked down, and he was getting rocked against the ropes and not throwing back. Fair stoppage in my eyes.

Lopez has only himself to blame though. Hold, take a knee, but don't just stay in the corner while a guy punches you in the face 800 times.

I agree. Lopez wasn't badly hurt, but he wasn't fighting back and he was rocked.

True.
