    As has been reported Jorge Barrios has had court troubles due to hsi driving accident. He has been replaced by Francisco Lorenzo (35-8)

    I seen his two fights against Soto. He is a very wild swinging Mayorga like fighter. Put up a decent acount of himself the second time against Soto. Also beat Nate Campbell, lost a MD to Jorge Linares, Lost a SD to Roman Martinez, beat Cristobel Cruz etc. I was looking forward to the Morales fight and this seems to be a good replacement. I figured at best theyd get a stiff, from what I've seen of Lorenzo this could be a treat. His wild punches should be countered by straight rights from Morales- Morales by UD

    What do you think?

    Lorenzo is a spoiler, but he's old. At best he might win a close decision over aging Morales.
