    He needs to go through puberty first to roar. He couldn't grow a milk mustache.

    Tatli looking good defensively. I think this fight is going the distance.

    Teofimo doing a good job feeling out Tatli and probing with the jab. Only the 1st round but kid looks good with the jab early on.

    God, does he think this "I didn't watch the fight I was front row for" bull**** endears him to the fans?

    Tatli too tall with not enough head movement for Lopez, this wont go long.

    Tatli is going to try his best to suck the life out of this fight and this arena.

    Tatli looks to be fighting just to survive (or maybe he just feeling out Lopez).

    Round 1

    López is slipping Tatli's jab with a crick of his neck and then darting in with a stiff left jab on the chest. Tatli keeps up a responsible defense and parries some of López's jabs on his right palm, but is consistently backed up into the corners. Tatli doubling his jab into López's left forearm, then driving in a right hand but not able to gain any ground, López keeping his feet planted firmly and then resuming his own forward motion.

    10-9 López, close

    Lopez needs to step down the intensity.
    He is too tense and forcing every shot.

    Keep pressuring, vary the speed and set up the big punches.

    But like I said, Tetli is solid. Lopez blasting him away would be something else.
    I expect Lopez will learn quite a bit tonight, while also delivering a great finish.
