I know i am going to catch a lot of heat for this but i that salido vs lopez 2 was meh. I mean you have Lopez scared of Salido and trying to use a complicated defensive style to fight Salido and looked plained ******ed doing so. and for his lack of defense he got smacked around a lot cause he dose not move his head at all. By the time he got to useing a defense style that would more suit him it was to late the k.o. was already in full motion. Then we have Salido who fought hellishly on the brink every round to take out a scared and defenseless fighter. Salido every round had to give it his all to control the fight. Lopez was there for the taking and it took every thing Salido had to take him. Lopez for a young fight who is supposed to be improving didn't learn crap. Salido who is the defending world champ dose not look like he going any where special after this. This was a B fighter (Lopez) with a weak mentality and even weaker defense fighting a C fighter at best (Salido ), from that you get Bum fights.
When fighters put their very hearts on the line, you can't do anything but admire them, despite their defensive flaws. Threads like this is why I get ****ing sick and tired of these forums sometimes.
Man, I don't feel nearly as embarrassed about the idiotic thread that I posted after this fight. Thanks man! You've done me a great service. :good
You need to learn how to structure a sentence before you make daft comments. In the two sentences I have highlighted you make it sound as though Lopez was fighting himself. Lopez wasn't in there to learn, he was trying to regain his championship and avenge the only defeat on his record. he was on the backfoot because he has already went toe to toe and came of worse so he probably thought he'd try something else and unfortunately for him it didn't work. Salido was pretty much dominating and apart from the knockdown what else do you want him to do. he went into his opponents backyard (twice) and knocked out a two weight world champion in what will probably be his career defining victory. It was a war where both boxers gave everything they had. if you didn't like this then there aint much hope for you.
