This fight is just over 2 weeks away, it could be one of the fights of the year. Lopez has the skills to win this on points but i feel that Lopez likes to fight too much and at times will brawl with maidana and get stopped.
Maidana by TKO/KO.
I think people are going to be stunned by how much bigger Lopez is than Maidana. They will look 2 or 3 weight classes apart
no they won't.
lopez fought at a 130-135 early in his career. then he fought at/close to 140 for a very long time. many years. he moved up to 147 to fight ortiz, and then moved to 154 to fight canelo.
2-3 weight classes? madiana is a natural 140 lber, now fighting at 147. lopez will not look like a middleweight...
i win.
i love it when aggressive fighters make it near the top of their divisions and fight each other. you've got be a special breed of man to fight like that and win.
maidana might have some problems with lopez height, and the length of his arms, but i expect him to walk through lopez gas and catch up to him late. either a close points win or a late stoppage for maidana. i'm not sure if maidana can put lopez away. he can punch hard, but he's just not very crafty.
I don't see either guy getting stopped, maidana couldn't finish Khan ffs
Marcos UD
I won't hold that against Marcos since the ref really wasn't doing him any favors that fight.
I got Maidana by late KO/TKO. Lopez is taller but Maidana has improved under Garcia and is throwing more combos and seems to be getting comfortable at 147.
Josesito is a warrior. But he lost by a body shot (actually, were many body shots) his last fight. Maidana won by a body shot his last fight (actually, he won many fights that way). Guess who wins?
He lost by a body shot by a 154lb, really strong fighter. Maidana isn't as big or strong as Canelo or even Ortiz. He will withstand Maidana better than people think.

Anyway I think Lopez the much much much bigger man out slugs Maidana and wins a decision
I meant away not ago, I've edited it now. My bad. HA.
Lopez is bigger, but Maidana hits harder, to me that equals it out. Really even fight IMO.
