Thats about what young,undefeated blazing 'superstars' are supposed to do.Take the old warriors to a pace and place that has left them behind.I have never been big on guys pounding their chests over time and predicting jaw dropping Kos on long reigning & very crafty fighters.They set themselves up for pit falls.He's bigger,faster and very strong but you are not going to just steam roll through everyone over the years as he steps up.Lopez needs to keep a level head and be smart,he may just learn a few things along the way.Hes not learning alot going all out for 1 round KO's.Nattas.

The longer it goes,I think Penalosas prospects increase.Lopez has set the bar now & he needs to meet it and if the quick KO does not materalize...dont go all jungle.I dont think Penalosa has to bring huge power on him as much as he needs to answer and capitalize on rushing mistakes,just hit him clean and often,counter.Great,great crossroads fight.
