  • So after Lopez's loss

    We are automatically looking for the "next rican great". LMAO.

    The stupidity on these boards is amazing. The ratio for good and bad posters leans towards bad 25-5.

    Where would Hopkins be if this sport was finished and you were written off after one loss. Where would Pac be. How bout margarito , he accomplished some decent stuff(?). How about El terrible. Didnt he give us an amazing fight the other day. How about Mosley. How about JMM. The list goes on and on. From all weight classes , races and nationalities.

    I think every person has a different opinion of Lopez. Regarding many aspects of his life and his skills.

    I think its pretty obvious what his skills , attributes and flaws are. I think it all comes down to , can he work on his flaws , and can he adjust and fight with a strategy. Instead of trying to ko everybody they put in front of him.

    If you ask me , I think he was trying to impress Gamboa who was ringside and had already been talking about Lopez , and not in a good way. And I understand why.

    He has a world of talent. He has a ton of heart. His flaws had been exposed since the Mtagwa fight. Is not like we didnt know he had a suspect chin. And I dont know if you saw the replay but Salido caught him with a vicious right hand.

    But whats interesting is that he stood up, finished the round and the next round he seemed to regain some type stability and reflexes. But he couldnt fight smart. After the kd he was still up on the cards. And with the right corner and instructions he could have made a comeback. IMO. Patience is a virtue.

    He is either going to come harder than ever and work on his flaws , or he will be an even bigger underachiever than Judah. (Even tho Judah is still in the pic, But he could have been higher in it)

    Shame on you if you have given up on this talented kid. Wether you think is is arrogant , a coward or a bum. Its pretty ******ed to write him off.

    30 (27) - 1 is not a bad record. And might wake up a whole different beast.

    It's just the fact how BAD he looked bro... Imagine if gamboa was in there with him... He would of ripped his head off.. Lopez looked lethargic in there.. If Lopez comes back and manages to have a great career I would be amazed.. I'd give him major credit.

      people overreacting due to anger over loss of the Gamboa fight
      Lopez not bad, just got outfought in a tough match
      ref jumped in too quick, Lopez can win a rematch
      he can still come back and get more titles
      never bought him being the new Tito though
      he can hit and recover from KD's but he isn't as good

          Not everyone can get up from a nasty kd and look GOOD. Up until that point he was winning. Whether he was having a dominant fight or not. Salido is not an easy opponent. Even Gamboa admitted Salido gave him a rough night.

          I mentioned this since before the fight. I said multiple times. Salidos fighting style , demeanor and toughness can spell trouble for Lopez. Im really tired of the Gamboa comparison. 3 different styles. And who is to say Gamboa can handle Lopez's power or . We all know Mexicans have incredible chins. Nothing new there.

          Either way. Only idiots write him off and are looking for the next "rican star"

            I see it the same way.

            Im not debating his "star status" or his potential. Just pointing out how ******ed it is to just write a fighter off after one loss.

              I wrote on here before the fight that if JML beat Salido on a decision(like Gamboa did) I would say he was better than Gamboa because this was not the same out of shape Salido that Gamboa faced. You can't make an accurate comparison betwwen JML and Gamboa based on this common opponent.

                is not a good style for salido, salido admitted that gamboa was too fast and could not find him all night.gamboa just doesnt stand in front of you without moving like lopez, its just not a good style for salido gamboa dances around him all night every single time.

                Salido won maybe 2 out of 12 rounds people. and yeah gamboa didnt look good but who does against salido anyways

                  Gamboa didn't face an out of shape Salido. When Salido was in his corner before the 11th round, his coach told him: "Vamos, mijo, te has preparado mucho tiempo para esto."/"C'mon, son, you've been preparing for this for a long time."

                  I think his coach told him something similar between some previous rounds.

                    Lopez only sucess was while moving around the ring. And it had him winning all rounds up until the kd.
