Canelo Alvarez-Josesito Lopez 15 September

It will be a catch weight, Lopez deserved the shot, if he can pull out another, similarly brave performance it will be a hell of a fight.

 

As they should... Golden Boy has both Canelo and Lara under contract. There's no reason to pit (two future stars) them against each other right now. I understand fight fans just want to see the best fights, but they aren't running a business.

 

:-(, it suks, but it's true.

 

I've been hearing such and such is "killing the sport" for over 20 years now. Hasn't happened... boxing isn't going anywhere. If one major company did go down... another one would just replace it.

Canelo and Lara will eventually fight.

Patience, my internet-age souls.

 

Canelo gonna get his jaw broke

 

mayorga ko's lopez

 

In the Business vs Sports contest business is winning a little too handily at the moment for my tastes. We never got to see Lopez vs Gamboa when it was a great sounding fight remember.

 

Patience until more fights don't get made? I don't necessarily mean Canelo here, he is still young and has the big fights ahead of him. But while boxing isn't going anywhere, it is in decline as fans are being turned off by careful matchmaking, too many titles, etc.

 

and they expecting this to compete with martinez-chavez jr? LOL

 

:-verysad lara would seriously **** canelo over imo
and this was truely historic :huh

 

Lopez' management must be mental.

He supposedly entered the ring under 145 for Ortiz?

How much do you think Canelo came in the ring at? I'll bet he rehydrates around 10%.
Unless they somehow beef up Lopez, he could have a 20+ pound weight disadvantage.

Lopez himself (during an interview on TV) said he thought the fight unrealistic, now it's obvious that they have somehow talked him into it.

I hope he doesn't get hurt against Canelo, he's very game but no master of defense, that much weight is insane and the Ginger can swat.

 

Is it even confirmed?

 

How much truth is there to this?
