For me it was a disappointing fight. Lots of wild swinging. It looked as if Lopez was susceptible from the beginning, couldn't do much on the retreat, and seemed to freeze when hit. His defence wasn't good enough, too much "shoulder-rolling "..... Also he was rather slow. I was surprised that Saledo was stronger than Lopez and when he was hit hard seemed to be knocked back off balance rather than affected by the punch.
I believe that if they had fought, Gamboa would have beaten Lopez badly, I don't see what all the fans were raving about that fight not being made. This was the first time I've seen Lopez for a couple of years, and his punch resistance is not good. Trinidad must have been depressed.
