Lopez vs Salido

[generalbulldog]

Premature stoppage since Lopez was still punching back. You also give the champ the benefit of the doubt and let him come back.

Lopez was being held up by the ropes. Without them he would of been down again

[ElTerribleMorales]

i agree with VD, Lopez was still wobbling around when his guys were pulling him to the corner, he was punching on instinct but was pretty much out of it, wouldn't mind a rematch but Lopez better sharpen up the boxing skills that made him what he was, cause lately he's just been trying to slug it out and rely on his power leaving him open to bombs

[Puerto Rican Punch]

Lopez needs to work seriously his defense. I think he could continue, but he was taking shots too easily. This has been my main critic to him, his defense. But, showed a great heart. My respect to you champ (Juanma) and congratulations to Salido.

I think you got it backwards Salido is the champ now.

I have no problem with stoppage Lopez was fucked and i think hes been tad overrated really.

Yeah, I remember Daniel Ponce de Leon saying the same thing when they fought.




No matter.... every great one loses sooner or later. It's not that he lost... it's how he comes back from this adversity that's going to count in the long run.

Lopez biggest problem is he's always been a sucker for the right hand. He was very lucky to have faced an injured 65% Marquez

his defense used to be a hell of a lot sharper, he's just gotten lazy and kinda egocentric with his power, by the 5th round Salido wasn't landing only the right hand but the left hook as well, all of that was due to Lopez' defensive laziness and his own ego thinking he could come back just cause of his power

He was. But it was the right constantly landing that open the door for the left

one thing i didn't get at all either was, Juanma was having success early on with the 1,2 , why the hell didn't he then shoot the right to the body, and work the body when he would back Salido up, his guard was spot on tonight, so Juanma should have tried to bring it down with body work

Really I think fighting in Puerto Rico is one of the worse things Lopez should be doing. He tries to impress to much and gets away from what's working for him in order to try and score the stoppage

[Mars_ax]

Anybody still think Lopez would have a shot against Gamboa after what went on tonight? I sure as hell don't.

[Lance Uppercut]

I didnt think it was a bad stoppage. Lopez was getting hit flush and HARD, over and over again. All he was giving back was pitter padder. That's was the kind of fight where a fighters dies.

It was more the timing of the ref's stoppage, then the actual stoppage, Lopez was getting ripped, but he was still fighting. But I agree, at the time the stoppage looked a bit premature, but in retro, I believe the ref did the right thing. He saved Lopez from further punishment, and Salido was in the process of putting his lights out, live to fight another day.
