Both fighters are coming off two consecutive losses from stoppages. Ortiz was on his way to stopping Lopez before his jaw folded. Ortiz has the physical advantage, but Lopez has the mental advantage. I think that Ortiz needs to pick his career back by avenging his Lopez and Maidana losses before doing anything else. I mean even a fight with Peterson again would show that he's willing to fix his mistakes, but he should rematch Lopez first.
I saw a fight where Maidana picked up the pace in the fifth round but was losing it still. Ortiz was beating Maidana before the stoppage rewatch that ****...
I watch that fight in Cancun,very exciting..I had Ortiz up by a rd at the time the fight was stopped..Not that big of an advantage if ya ask me..
What the hell!!!!Ortiz almost stopped Maidana??What fight did you watch,both fighters had their moments..Ortiz throughout the fight was the one looking the worse for the wear tho..Not to mention quit..

You forget that Ortiz floored Maidana three times and was beating him almost to a stoppage before the sixth round.

He declined a fight with King Khan, to fight Maidana.
If Khan was not going to fight Alexander I think Khan Lopez would be a perfect fight for both fighters..

That's would be extremely stupid.

Yeah that was prime ortiz. And Maidana was good, but not as good as he is today. Ortiz gets steamrolled by current Maidana.
Ortiz is getting ghost? Ortiz just gets all the big shots doesn't he and he doesn't even deserve it. The ts is right he should at least beat lopez to put himself back in contention but instead he gets a Ghost fight? That's Bs! Maidana is more deseerving of a big fight with Ghost right now.
fuck Lopez, feed him to Maidana gain
he'd get beaten up worse in that fight
GB needs to just cash Ortiz out altogether
he can look exciting getting destroyed

Lopez should just build himself back up. Take some easier fights. He needs to stop being a stepping stone. After he gotten a few wins then he should jump back into the lions den. I want to see Ortiz vs Guerrero. Both of them beat the sh-t out of Berto. So lets see this fight go down.
Ortiz is still a recognizable name and a rematch win over Lopez would do wonders for him. Many times, I have seen threads about him versus Cotto but facing Cotto without avenging the Lopez loss is not as attractive as a Cotto vs. Ortiz with Ortiz coming off a decisive win over Lopez. In other words, it could be a mega fight after this fight.
Another guy saying he was right about to stop a fighter befor he got stopped. Lol heard that alot with numerous fights but that's a good fight. I think Ortiz is gonna fight Guerrero though next.
I mean you're right Lopez is getting worn down but he is making good money. If he fights again he wouldn't make as much money unless he rematches Ortiz, which is a fight he'd be more confident in.
Absolutely. The fight should happen. It makes sense for both guys. Josesito will get knocked out this time though.
I agree but I feel bad for Josesito. He's been in so many tough fights in a row and expected to lose them all. I just hate his matchmakers. A decent fighter in Jesse Vargas and then he fights Ortiz, Canelo, and Maidana, and then possibly Ortiz again. That sucks.
