Good fight on paper. I like Lopez in this fight. IMO people give Maidana too much credit for his ko over a shopworn Soto Karass. Lopez has a great chin and IMO Maidana isn't any more powerful than Ortiz at 147.
Maidana may have improved a little but he's struggled in every fight against good opposition. Alexander, Kotelynk, Corley, Khan, and Morales all made him look one dimensional and ordinary. He was even struggling against Soto Karass before the stoppage, I think he was up by one point on the cards going into the 8th.
