By Thomas Gerbasi - When it was announced that Josesito Lopez’ first fight back after back-to-back losses to Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Marcos Maidana would be against former contender Mike Arnaoutis, loser of two straight in his own right, the boxing world screamed that it was a ‘keep busy’ fight for the “Riverside Rocky.”
And it may very well be just that, but don’t tell that to Lopez.
“It’s a tough fight that I’m in and I’m not taking Arnaoutis lightly at all,” he said of Friday’s FOX Sports 1 bout at Fantasy Springs in Indio, California. “He’s tough, he’s a hard warrior, and he always comes to fight, so I’m definitely well prepared for this fight, but I also want to get back onto the big stage. I’ve regrouped and I’ve trained a lot harder and I pushed myself and I want to show everybody that I belong on the big stage.” [Click Here To Read More]
