You can't fault any one for picking Lopez. As long as they're explanation is that the fight is in PR and a robbery could be in place. But that was the only way I saw Lopez winning. If you thought Lopez was actually gonna win, fair and square, then you probably didn't see the first fight.Comment

I thought Lopez might adjust and box more. He did and there were spots where he was riding the left hook off the shoulder and keeping his hands up for the right. Problem was he just can't defend and punch at all in unison.You can't fault any one for picking Lopez. As long as they're explanation is that the fight is in PR and a robbery could be in place.

If he'd landed that right thirty seconds earlier in the fifth, might have been a different night. Oh well.
Excellent fight from Salido.Comment

I thought Lopez won the first but both guys were feeling out. I had Salido winning all but the fifth from there. Salido really launched in two.
I was out and didn't get in until the 6th round. Rewound the DVR and started over, keeping two scorecards: the real one and the hometown card. I had Salido winning on both, 7-2 on the real (Lopez winning 1 and 5) and 5-4 on the hometown (with the crowd willing Lopez to the 8th and 9th for the judges). I thought a case could be made to give four on a hometown card as well (otherwise rationally a Salido round). That's where you get 86-84. Total nonsense but I might have to do this all the time going forward.Comment
