Jose Luis Lopez

Remember this bad aZz, weed smoking, surfing Mexican?

What do you remember about Lopez?

[ShoulderRoll]

Mostly remember him for the Yory Boy Campas and Ike Quartey fights.

He seemed like he would be a major player in the division at that point.

And James Page who he almost knocked out for a title

I would of responded earlier but I missed this thread. Lopez was a tough boxer, and one of more enjoyable fighters at the time. His fights against Quartey and Aaron Davis were an example of that. His fight with Page was previewed as a match between two terrific punchers but Page wisely moved and boxed. Good for him he did.

I thought he was brillant done Eamon Loughran in one round for WBO title.

He was like Marcos Maidana one of my favourite fighters

- -I covered Maestrito on a few of the old Telefutura broadcasts of GoldenBoy promos, but he was obviously running on fumes and burning lotsa fat.

Sorta celebrity tour with the locals bowing and scraping to his magnificence. Maybe he coulda been more in his pomp, but his record shows many extended vacations from boxing, probably enjoying the multitudes of beautiful amenities in Mexico.

I could see him being a Maidana-like fighter.

He looked really good but even by the Quartey fight I think he was possibly unraveling. He let himself get outworked for long stretches in that fight and got a lucky draw despite having Ike down twice.

The Page fight was a big surprise and letdown. He just couldn’t deal with the movement and fought with little passion from what I remember.

Yup, thought he would get the knockout and he chocked.
