Marcos Maidana vs. Josesito Lopez set for June 8th?

Saw this retweeted by Steve Kim on Twitter. Original source is a guy from Everlast, who's generally credible.

Dan Rafael (12:29 PM)

Richard just told me it will be on June 8 on Showtime at Home Depot Center and headline a tripleheader. The other fights are not set but that's a really good fight. For what it's worth, he said the fight will be for the WBA's interim 147 title.

 

Such a good fight.

Lopez decision.

 

Damn. I was getting excited for this one: http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=460154

...but this is even better!

Paredes has waited this long to get a big break, he can ride it out a bit longer. :yep

 

If Lopez can find that body its a hard hard night for Maidana

Good competative fight/

 

Makes me wwwwet

 

Awesome fight on an awesome date. :smoke

 

J.Lo is a ****en warrior...
I'll be going for Josesito to the fullest but that style is made for Maidana.

**** it, Guerra Lopez

 

****ing hell what a war and potential fight of the year if it happens.

 

Does this free up Chaves and Paredes to duke it out for the shot @ Malignaggi?

 

Hell yea! Lets go Maidana!!!

 

Apparently, Malignaggi-Chaves is close to done for Abu Dhabi May 18.

Damn they could do the Chaves V Pardes fight on the undercard and both fights could duke it out for fight of the year.

 

Henry Ramirez (J.Lo's Trainer) posted this :

"so Ive Been Asked Alot Lately about when will @JosesitoLopez Fight Again well I can Confirm it will be on April 20 @ Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario Against??? Damn I cant reveal the name yet but its has ALL ACTION WRITTEN ALL OVER IT!!!!"

 

This could be a truly great action fight. I'm not sure who I'd pick but I really hope this fight hapens.

 

Maidana TKO late is my prediction, but whatever happens should be a FOTY candidate.
