Showdown between brandon rios and josesito lopez @ 140lbs

MadGuerreroMax13y ago

This fight sounds like a hit especially since Rios and ORTIZ have had a long road of disaster. So what is your take on this guys because I really think that fight would be very nice. Plus we know Lopez can take hits. Would be nice to know where Rios strength stands out compared to other strong hitters at the 147lbs division.

Would be a pretty good fight. Hope it happens.

13y ago

I think the Rios that beat Acosta would have a good chance to beat Lopez. I don't trust Rios anymore. His heart doesn't seem to be in his training. His best days may be behind him at the young age of 26. If I see him fight the way he used to I'll have some faith in him again. Lopez seems 100% dedicated to boxing. I would pick him to KO Rios even if it took lots of flush shots to do it. Rios was very easy to hit even on his best day. If Lopez did not get the KO he would still win.

13y ago

I would watch it for sure. I got Lopez, maybe late stoppage? He has more tools than Rios & doesn't have to be inside all the time.

Top Rank/Golden Boy Bob will never let it happen They are both with Top Rank

13y ago

Man I guess both fights won't happen Vargas is now with Top Rank too...

13y ago

He beats Bradley easily yay/nay ? I don't think so,but I know you do...Paulie M can beat Bradley and so can anybody else from 140lb to 147lb...I know what ya believe..Don't worry I'll keep taking your points...

13y ago

I agree with the common sentiment here. Great matchup, but probably not going to happen.

GBP/TR = won't happen If it does, Lopez whoops Rios.

13y ago

rios cant hold lopez's spit bucket, cause even that requires some form of skill and brain function. rios is garbage, lopez murks him without even training too hard

13y ago

I think Lopez would be smart to stay at 147lb tbh..There is plenty of action there and some really good fights for him... He beats Bradley easily yay/nay ?

I'd definitely watch it, or a Vargas rematch. I thought Lopez deserved the nod in that fight

13y ago

Good fight. I would honestly want that Vargas rematch If I were Lopez. I thought he won that fight.
