Hopefully Lopez pulls off that sheep clothing & reveals a wolf. I'd laugh my a$$ off if he manages to beat ginger.

Looks like you won't be laughing anytime soon then. You already know what this fight is

I'm a neutral for this fight, but the Canelo fans who claim Lopez is 'always a 154 fighter' and look at how big he is now is delusional.

It's easy to put on weight, that don't mean you are putting on effective weight. Canelo is being managed very carefully, and I agree with this. Look at Fernando Vargas, Vargas arguably had even more talent then Canelo and was rushed in way too fast.

The truth of the matter for this fight is Canelo's team is making someone who's 1-2 weight classes below Canelo fight at Canelo's weight class. That's it. Lopez put on weight, so what? Is it effective weight? Most likely not.
This is just going to be a 154-160 Fighter beating up a 140-147 fighter. That's the bottom line.

i can't believe lopez is that heavy...maybe gbp is just making that up to make it look like the fight is evenly matched as far as size is concerned.

[Angry Cuban]

But josesito still giving more advantages to canelo, now he is gonna go into the fight overweight..that weigh gained so fast will make him slow and he will get tired faster..

[fvanesbeck]

If I was to guess I'd say Lopez ate a massive steak before the weigh in. I wouldn't be surprised if he weighed in at 155 or something on Friday to try and get in Canelo's head.

It seems like Lopez is trying to match Canelo size for size and hes gonnaa screw himself. Whats the minimum weight for 154, 150? If I was Lopez Id try to come the lightest possible where I feel comfortable at then try to put on a few lbs between weigh in and fight night.

There is no minimum weight in any division. You could come in at 105 pounds for a 154 fight if you really wanted, you'd obviously just get destroyed though.

Uhh no. Chances are this guy is bloated with handles around his waste.

****, probably worst. He had the handles at 140, just imaging 160....LMAO...

[Tobi.G]

Lopez is much bigger than i expected! I dont believe hes outa shape because this is the biggest fight of his life so far. He must be training real hard.

[nycsmooth]

how hards Lopez been training as '65 is his walking around wt...ot of shape...no matter as this is a mismatch unless alvarez lets up...

After watching All Access, I really like Josesito and Co. Seems like the nicest group of guys. Canelo, on the other hand, came off like a real arrogant bully. I'm rooting for the underdog this time.
