I am an Alvarez fan but do not approve of this fight when it is one of only two fights he is involved in through the calendar year of 2012. This fight will not enhance his stock, and can drop it if he doesn't dominate and stop Lopez. Despite the massive weight difference, it still is much better than all other 21 year old's are fighting and also is better than some of the opponents' contemporary champions defend against.
Pure garbage. I didn't mind Canelo but this guy is a paper champ if there ever was one. Lopez is a ****ing JWW! atsch
This **** is just getting worse and worse. First we get Arce and now this. But, this is deplorable. Lopez is at serious risk of severe injury.
Projected weights: Alvarez- 153.5 lbs Lopez- 145.75 lbs Projected in-ring weights: Alvarez- 164 lbs Lopez- 149 lbs. Oh, that's fair...
The only good thing to come out of this will be Schafers phony smugness in pretending that this is a great fight and great for boxing. So much for CBS, f-you GBP!
This is far from official. Rick Reeno on the Scene claims several sources...but none of the usual suspects with their ears on the ground of the industry have Tweeted anything about it being Josesito, and they have been actively posting in the last five minutes. Kinda doubtful they'd all be outta the loop.
What a shitty match up. Id rather see Mayorga. That would be far more entertaining in and out the ring. Booooo! You suck gbp! Lol
I'm actually calling FOTY candidate and upset of the year candidate.......Lopez will be hungry and motivated...the power might be too much for Lopez but I think Josesito will bring something extra to the ring with him in Sept......nothing illegal....just something that can't be measured in fights where the under dog puts on a great performance, fighting up to the level of his opponent. Truly excited for this one....props to Canelo for taking this fight....he is a dangerous WW.....I think he will nice up to Jr MW without much problem...we will see.
