Comments Thread For: Jose Zepeda-Marcelino Lopez Likely For 7/7 Due To Baranchyk's Rib Injury

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Those who were looking forward to the Ivan Baranchyk-Jose Zepeda junior welterweight fight will have to wait. Baranchyk's rib injury is serious enough that the former IBF 140-pound champion will need an extended break before he can train again. Their handlers had hoped that the rib injury Russia's Baranchyk (20-1, 13 KOs) suffered during a sparring session last week would heal quickly enough so that they could reschedule the Zepeda-Baranchyk fight for a few weeks after its original date of July 7.

FÛÇK, NO! The fight fall out.

Damn! Ivan Baranchyk rib injury was worst than I expected. I hope Ivan Baranchyk recover of this rib injury 100% and don't affect his performance in the future. I am going to miss this fight, one of the fight I was looking into forward.

This is probably the most solid replacement they could have found on par with the original fight in terms of excitement I think Lopez is a live dog he can punch man but I'm still rooting for Zepeda.

I like it. Dude has some heavy hands.

lopez isn't fighting zepeda, he just confirmed it on instagram, they offered the fight and he passed. dumb desicion if you ask me, i like nino, but he is so inactive and the current situation doesn't help. he is also 34, he can't pass on fights like this one, he already passed on linares once and istead cano fought him and KO'd him.

Yeah man he really does nobody had ran through Cano like that and he just put him out.

Prescott is usually pretty durable too. I can't count Lopez out in this but I think Chon probably a little too skilled and should win. Who knows with a last minute replacement though......

I just think Zepeda is more seasoned his fight Ramirez showed he's championship level especially after what Ramirez went and did against Hooker I believe you could have given that fight to Zepeda as well he was catching Ramirez with that straight left and he looked good against Pedraza. Very skilled southpaw and is pretty durable should be a good scrap.

Chon has improved from just two or three years ago. He was a plodder with a good right hand. His footwork, upper body movement and jab are better now, but it looks like a trade off. His right hand isn't a weapon of destruction anymore. It just might be that the competition is better.
