Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Josesito is a Live Underdog With Canelo

[kiaba360]

If Lopez has anything between his ears, he'll fight the exact opposite of how he usually fights. The fact is that he's far rangier than ginger. I know team ginger expects Lopez to stand in front of him & brawl, while ginger counters smoothly because for some strange reason ginger's been playing the role of counter puncher lately.

Lopez should stay at the end of his jab & bounce laterally on his toes. He should fight the 1st half of the fight at a distance because ginger gases. If he manages to snap ginger's head about early, that is sure to zap even more energy. Then later he can brawl with a tired, worn out midget killer to his hearts desire. That's what I'd do.

Agreed. Canelo isn't used to exerting much energy, so Josesito is gonna have to find a way to make Canelo commit a lot more than we're used to seeing. He needs to force Canelo to get aggressive, even at the expense of getting countered. Box for the first 3 rounds, and then gradually increase the intensity as the fight wears on. This is a mismatch on paper, but what evens it up (in my eyes) is that Canelo is questionable in multiple areas. I'm rooting for Josesito, believe that it's a winnable fight for him and he's going out there to get the W.
