Lopez Got Lucky

[Mars Champ]

he was getting rocked every time Vic threw some power punches and held on for dear life

he's lucky he broke ortiz's jaw early one

[-FLIP-]

Maybe, but he surely deserved it.

He was getting hit, but he could take much more than Ortiz can. I don't think Lopez has even been down.

And its Ortiz's fault for having his mouth open...Its one of the first things you learn

It's a shame Lopez doesn't seem to be getting he deserves. Personally I felt he beat Vargas to.

Both fighters were going tit for tat, but as the fight went on it was Ortiz breaking down mentally and running at times. It was Ortiz losing the psychological warfare, he was fooled into thinking Lopez had the strength and size to hang. When they rematch I expect another competitive fight that could go either way, I'd lean towards Lopez snatching his heart again.

Lopez was just holding in general as a spoiler tactic. He was holding even when he wasn't hit. I don't think there was ever time he held for dear life because he was hurt.

fcuk it, he made his own luck, well done to him

ortiz was winning the fight on the cards and if wouldn't have had a broken jaw he would have won

I think Ortiz wins the rematch but there wasnt any luck in Lopez's win. He fought hard for that win and deserves full credit.

Why the angry expression?

Ortiz would have won if he would have stood in Joseito's chest the whole fight, but I guess he looks at himself as a good boxer, which clearly he isn't. He's better defensively as the aggressor, when he decides to move; box, guys tend to get back in the fight, look at the Peterson fight, thats another example.

I thought the opposite. IMO Ortiz traded way too often against a fighter who had much faster handspeed. I felt that when Ortiz actually boxed, Lopez looked very ordinary.

Victor was too macho, when he gets hit he has the heart of a lion and fights back instantly, almost like Nigel Benn. He needs to curb that instinct when he's the better boxer and fight to his strengths.

Would be interested to hear what others think.
