@JosesitoLopez: My fight will now be Sat June 8th @HomeDepotCenter on @SHOsports #MaidanaLopez #TeamLopez
Not sure if posted already but is this fight now official? And on my birthday! Hell yeah! I like the fight but I think Maidana crushes Lopez :boxing:
Bro go back and look, the shots to the head didnt do a whole lot, but Josesito was ffat so the body shots hurt him. I think that's what dropped him every time. Plus he took everything from Ortiz as well. Should be a great war, I got Josesito.

The point is Lopez has suffered a big mental defeat homie. True, Canelo punished him to the body even though he also went up top. But whatever, its semantics really. I've watched Maidana's whole career twice over and he has a severely underrated body attack. When he started mixing to the body after landing all those right hands is what made Ortiz fold. And he has ended at least 5 other contests by... You guessed it, body shot! If Maidana is focused sharp and fit as he appears to be, then Lopez is in for Hell of a night. Whether the night is concluded by a head or body shot, it will be a concussive punch of Maidana's that will end matters.

Of course, I was referring to the former, not the latter. I was saying Maidana has more power than Lopez, but referring to Canelo in reference to Lopez as well, hence the confusion

You are the idiot if you think Canelo was only landing body shots on Josesito. He was landing everything but the kitchen sink on him toward the end.

Seems odd, i dont see him having success at 147.
lopez? his biggest win was at WW against ortiz. i think him and his trainer have hinted at problems making 140 in recent interviews. plus, i wouldn't suggest it after having his last fight at 154. maidana is also not a big WW.
Lopez-Khan fell apart over weight. Lopez refused to fight at a 143 CW.
Seems like Lopez has no interest in going back to 140.

Interesting, I don't think Lopez is a good fit at 147; 140 seems to suit him better.

Does anybody know what weight this is taking place at? 140 or 147?
147, i don't think maidana is going back to 140.
man, june seems so far away. the alvarez card would have been great to have it on. it should be a foty candidate. i'm leaning towards maidana on this one. if malignaggi still holds the belt when this fight is done, hopefully gbp can do malignaggi/maidana (since both men wanted it).
Maidana will show why he is still the fighter to watch. I favor Chino in an all out war of attrition. No one questions Lopez's heart, but his chin been tenderized by Canelo, and he has less power than Maidana.

Both Canelo and Maidana are big punchers but I think Canelo hits harder because he is a full 154 pounder while Maidana was fighting at 140 not long ago. Canelo went through Lopez like a hot knife through butter and KOed him with ease. I expect Maidana to get the same result but I think Lopez will put up a better fight against Maidana than he did against Canelo. Who ever is in charge of Lopez's career is sure matching him tough. I think he had a chance to do well at 140 but fighting big punchers like Canelo and Maidana back to back could hurt him. I would be surprised if Lopez wins this fight or even goes the distance.
I gotta give it to Lopez! this kid is always willing to face top notch competition. I think Lopez brings his best, but fades in the later rounds. Maidana's an animal.
