    Who wins? It'd be a war, but I can only see one outcome... Lopez getting brutally stopped late. Chico too accurate, too powerful.

    Corrales had problems with pure boxers not guys like Lopez. Corrales by 9 sounds about right

    TBF you can say the same of Lopez. Molina and Mitchell the smooth boxers perplexed him more than the slugger brawlers at 130. This will be a fight not a boxing match and to me it plays to both of thier strengths. We could see a Corrales Castillo type of affair needing 2 fights. But in a 1 straight fight I like Lopez even though not many others will.

    Either way I think this would be a fun fight between 2 guys who seldom have threads about them on this forum.

    Corrales is the better infighter. And the bigger puncher. I see more ways he can win

    Lol it doesn’t sound like many of us think this is going to the cards anyway.

    Lopez the better all around fighter...he decisions Corrales after scoring a couple of kds and being down once himself.

    I do agree that Corrales has the bigger punch, but not that he was the better infighter. I think Tony has that advantage and defense and counter punching.
