Has Josesito Lopez been given enough time (less than 3 months) to...

well, in Mexico many boxing fans doesn't belive in Canelo...

Why??

because he has a inflated record, against unknown fighters,
and fights against "grandpas" and old fighters, he was inflated by Televisa,
then GBP took his fame to give him projection in US.

he fights with some advantage, and in most of his wins by KO he looks tired and slow,
I really dont know why the referee stops the fight and give him the win by TKO.

 

140lbs'er at 154lbs, when there are people like K9,Lara,Kirkland,Vanes and other out there.

There can be no excuse for this fight.

 

that was my first thought wen this fight was announced, its not ideal as the ortiz fight was a tough fight but i dont think it'll have to much effect on the end result, canelo gonna win. id **** myself laughing if he did win tho, im rooting for him

 

Should be a good scrap

 

Very real question he took allot of punishment from Ortiz though he did give back much better than what he took, he still took a hell of a lot, with that said I dont think so I think he will swell up fast in this fight especially being in there with the much bigger Canelo.
Good fight while it last though could get interesting if Lopez can thread that left hook through

 

A week or so after he fought Ortiz, Lopez was being interviewed on TV and was asked if he might consider fighting Canelo if it was offered.

Lopez was almost laughing when he said he could not imagine it as Canelo was too big for him.

I think Lopez is a typical Mexican warrior, wouldn't back down from any challenge and perhaps too brave for his own good.

IMO, Lopez' management should not have taken this fight.

 

It takes the body 3 months after a fight to return back to it's normal equilibrium

(Shorter if the fight is less than 6 rounds and if the fighter didn't have to lose as much weight)

Think this is dependent on what weight Lopez normally walks around at...

Naturally as he himself said.. he is a 140 or 147 fighter...

He will never have 'enough time' to be a 154 fighter

Just a guy who is happy to fight anyone.

 

Actually you ****ing dumb ****, reporters were airing criticism many fans and media persons were having about this fight, and Canelo responded by saying that he pays no attention to them, and will not over look Josesito like Ortiz did, and he will still be preparing for this fight as it is the most dangerous fight of his life :deal don't get it twisted *****.

:yep I'm the Cubans boogeyman, they can't touch me and will slick themselves and clinch themselves out of my presence (kid cubano and his team) talk **** then they disappear.

 

I'm pretty much with Rico here (happens pretty often, actually). Josesito will need to stay outside and box, but occasionally will need to land something that slows Canelo's forward movement down. If he can do some that early, maybe take 2-3 early rounds, then weather the storm for later, that puts him in the best position to pull off the upset.

 

Joselito, joselito, joselito, what can we say? We all saw the Mr. Nobody with one eye almost shut fighting back against the Mr Hide and Dr. Jeykyll.

 

Jose is just extra padding for Canelo's boxrec.

 

Is this some scientific fact, or just what old-timers trainers like to say?

- I'm just asking, since this makes no sense to me, as a former amateur boxer and someone with a Masters in exercise Physiology. I've literally never heard this before.

What "equilibrium" are you talking about?

Granted, if a fighter suffers a concussion, then there are concerns, but even then there is no "3 month" rule: The obvious trauma subsides within a few days, and after that, the increased danger from another concussion lasts a lifetime.

If a fighter were carbo-loading, then you wouldn't want to do this more than perhaps once every 2 months (there are no strict numbers) but fighters don't need to carbo-load. (in fact this would make the muscles slightly stiff, which would put them at a disadvantage.)
-----------

So, if this concept actually does have merit, where does it come from, and what specifically does it refer to?

 

That's pretty much a perfect storm for Josesito. The key will be whether or not he can actually land something that slows Canelo's forward movement or not. I have a feeling not, but hope I'm wrong.
