Lopez is a terror and what more can one say about the depth of gameness showed by Penalosa?
I gotta disagree. Penalosa showed great heart and chin, but he was going to get seriously hurt. He ate 84 power punches in round 8, that's fucking obscene. I'd be unconscious if my 12 yr old niece landed that many power punches on me. Penalosa landed some serious shots on Lopez and never phased him. The stoppage was justified and a bit late IMO.
