    What a interesting fight for the two Mexicans !

    If this happen it's clearly for me the fight of the year 2025 in Featherweight better than Nick Ball vs Sam Goodman or Brandon Figueroa vs Joet Gonzalez.

    In the past a lot of peoples before Angelo Leo knocked out by a big upset Luis Alberto Lopez, thinking that they was the two best Featherweight (126 lbs) in the world !


    Luis Alberto Lopez "El Venado" is the former IBF Featherweight champion 31-3-0 (18KOs) he defeated Josh Warrington, Reiya Abe, Michael Conlan and Joet Gonzalez.

    Rafael Espinoza "El Divino" is probably actual the most big name at 126 lbs and defeated Robeisy Ramirez 2x times, Sergio Chirino Sanchez and Gerardo Valenzuela Munoz

    Would have been excited for it last year but the KO loss to Leo does take away from Lopez's chances against Espinoza. Not sure how fully recovered Lopez is from the Leo fight but Espinoza presents an even more dangerous proposition for him. Exciting match up on paper but I fear Lopez could end up being brutally beaten up here.

    I'd rather see Lopez against Robeisy Ramirez.

    I think it's dangerous for him to continue but I also think he recovered perfectly he make a comeback against a decent Mexican and Luis Alberto Lopez won by Knockout in the first round.

    He is still explosive !

    No... he thinks he does, but reality will come crashing down very hard over his cranium when he's actually in the ring with him.

    Yes, but Luis Nery is now somehow nr 1 with the WBO at 126, so we might get him instead.

    Yes it's true but I'm sure that Luis Alberto Lopez is a more good challenge for him than Luis Nery.

    Lopez has nuts the size of bowling balls for even considering this fight. I’d be gobsmacked if he lasted 6 rounds
