Man what a fight i thought Maidana was finished after 4th round, looked like he gave up but you have to give him credit he looked like man possessed in rounds 5 and 6.
I knew power would be the difference as Lopez was never going to fight defensive for 12 rounds, i like Lopez so i'm sad for hum but El Chino deserved it.
Huh? Theres nothing wrong with the scores.

Agree, it wasn't like Maidana was dominating this fight up until the stoppage. Had plenty of ebb and flow, with Lopez doing some damn good work in the 3rd and 4th. I had Maidana ahead, but to have Lopez ahead isn't controversial at all, at least at that point.

Great fight, okay stoppages. I've seen Lopez come back from harder than that but Maidana was putting in work. He would of knocked Lopez out.
Maidana vs the winner of Berto-Soto Karass please
Yeah but Lopez for what ever reason kept backing up against the Ropes, he was doing good when he kept it in the middle of the ring. Even with your Guard up you can't just stand in front of a Powerful Fighter like that, Roll Punches and Circle, don't just eat Combos
Yeah, he had been doing that earlier and that meant he took some big shots and some brutal body punches especially that would have set up some punishment later in the fight.
I was surprised that Lopez hurt Maidana to the body as bad as he did, but I also expected Maidana to come back and win. He always comes back. He needs to do more body work in training. He's too soft.
Maybe earlier, but after the knockdown, he took a massive uppercut that nearly put him down again and he basically just wobbled back into the corner. Didn't have much choice. Maidana put him there.
