This is a very interesting fight, the Pacquiao of 122 was much more one dimensional and predictable but he was really good at that one dimension, I noticed that Lopez dropped his right hand quite a bit against Penalosa, especially when he was throwing right uppercuts, he wasn't dipping with the shot, he just dropped his hand to throw it which leaves him wide open to Pacquiao's straight left, he's also open sometimes to right hooks because of the way his left hand pulls back when he throws his shots but that won't be a big factor against the 122 Pacquiao because the 122 Pacquiao didn't have much of a right hook. I want to see Lopez' chin get tested by a big puncher before saying he'd beat Pacquiao at the weight because Pacquiao would catch him for sure, how Lopez reacts to it would determine the outcome of the fight IMO, if he is able to take it, he would win, if he can't, he loses.
People loves to hype up untested fighters like Ortiz, Valero or Lopez. Lopez is still untested and Pac will knock him out in 3-4 rounds. It's not even funny hyping up Lopez right now.
