    Lopez vs Gamboa! interesting facts

    Mtagwa is now ranked #13 in the world in the bantamweight division
    Garcia is now ranked #58 in the world in the featherweight division.

    I mean nobody knew about him , but #13 , he wasnt that bad , in the world??? How many spots could he have gained. not that many. Cuz i dont think he dropped , if he did , then that doesnt speak bad. But either way. #13 in the world is not a bad oponent

    So who obiously had the harder oponent, Styles make fights , different divisions , a lot to conider , but from 13 to 58. that a big diference. in competition.

    All I know is that Mtagwa likes to block punches with his face because he has the chin while Garcia atleast showed a defense. If I was to rate them by defense Garcia would be miles ahead of an opponent such as Mtagwa.

            You know what else is true? Everyone knows Lopez fought like a ****** and dropped his hands low because he wanted to have whos balls are bigger competition with Mtagwa, and he almost lost because of it.

                doesn't matter, lopez looked slow and unskillful... he even admits this himself implicitly.

                  I dont know about that , I saw an interview where he said , "we have seen some footage of him and we think we can knock him out, it will be a new tyle for me, but I think I can knock him out" I think he didnt come in with that whose balls are bigger, i think he thought he was the stronger guy already and think he didnt have to box, and completely mishandled the fight.

                    He looked , but we all know he isnt , he has pretty nice boxing skills and is pretty fast , and throws beautiful punches. unlike caballero's wide ass punches
