    Though they're close in height and walk around at nearly the same weight on fight night,
    what is your prediction?
    will it be a mismatch or pretty darn close?

    Saul's better ring IQ compared to Josue will ultimately see him through but not while hitting some bumps along the way

    Josesito's punches looked slow and weak in a video that was posted up, media day work out I believe. Canelo will walk through him. The extra weight will slow him up, he'll probably show up soft

    Robert Guerrero jumped from lightweight 135 to welterweight 147 and defeated undefeated Selcuk Avdin for the Interim WBC Welterweight title. Don't see why the same thing can't happen here, Lopez is hungry as well.

    I already staked it? I got 1,000 riding on Lopez, and another 1,000 riding on Martinez.

    I'm not expecting him to beat Alvarez. Of course I didn't expect him to beat Ortiz either. Ortiz is more agresive than Alvarez this was a factor in the result.

    He can if he can stand up to Canelo's power. Canelo (lately) has been very defensive and not throwing alot of punches, which could allow Lopez to steal some rounds with activity. Another key will be if Lopez can hit Canelo and bother him with his shots, if Canelo eats Lopez' shots its gonna be a long...well short night for Little Jose.
