HBO Boxing after Dark: Mikey Garcia vs. Juan Manuel Lopez

[IamInuit]

@TitoFan. Shame the kid could not adjust or adapt in his rather short run. His career was cut short by making the same mistakes over and over again and expecting different results.

[Spicoli]

Did anyone else notice those Corona girls... damnnnn

Just can't go wrong with booty shorts, tennis shoes and a smile. I didn't even think about beer, not once!

[walrus]

Yup, that was a piece of shit. As others have said Lopez needs to retire. I don't know why I thought that would be a good fight to watch. I could have used that time to organize my socks and underwear draw.

Absolutely correct, @IamInuit . I've been saying that for some time now. Comparing Juan Manuel to Cotto, you find that Cotto adapted his style to different fights. He learned from his losses. He changed trainers. He did what he had to do. Juan Manuel has done none of that. And he's done. Tremendous rise to the start of his career.... but ran into a brick wall (named Salido). After those losses he was done. Brave kid, but he needs to hang them up. I've rarely seen a fighter come to a crashing halt like that, after a 30-0 start and that kind of KO record.

Bad legs, bad balance and bad showing topped by that bruise on his face and his heart wasn't in fighting tonight or his last two contests.

[Violent Demise]

Never expected Lopez to win. But I at least expected him to put up more of a fight. He's just all talk now. No doubt Salido ruined him badly. He's damn lucky the Gamboa fight never happened. He would of got slaughtered

[Violent Demise]

hahaha....

how is that Mex vs PR tally these days?

It's not even a rivalry any more. Now a days there pretty much just tune-ups for Mexican fighters

they're clearly doing a bad job

[Beanflicker]

Garcia is a mean dude.

It's amazing to me how quickly Juanma went to shit. It wasn't too long ago when I was patiently awaiting a Gamboa/Juanma superfight.

[Dia bando]

What is it with that stable of fighters Rios now Garcia not making weight,! cheating comes to
mind.

[Tam Seddon]

Think Daniel Ponce De Leon should try and rematch Lopez. He's there for the taking now. Would be a good rebound for Lopez too if he could produce another performance like the first one.

Don't forget Guzman and Donaire.

[DavilaJones]

Trying to remember when Donaire didn't make the weight..think I'lll go google it.

However as much as I dislike Rio's personality I give him all the credit in the world for always making the weight. The man goes through sheer agony to make it.

I'm pretty sure rios came in over three or four pounds not to long ago, but maybe I'm mistaken.

[DavilaJones]

Hmmm...I'll look into it tonight and find the fights that the weight wasn't made in.
