Myung-Woo Yuh vs Ricardo Lopez

I favour Lopez basically because it would be him controlling the iniative and getting off first.

 

Yeah i was wondering about how that type of fighter may have gone down had they been Korean.Moreso Marquez certainly.

I could be totally wrong anyway though.

 

Man, you're bringing in some names I forgot. Making a fighter go at your pace is a huge plus, and not a minus. I cannot see Yuh's busier style pulling Lopez down into a scrapping affair. 'Won't happen. Lopez outpoints him with left and right crosses. XX <- just like that.

 

He mentioned knowledgable fans, not Mexican fans.

 

Korean fans missed the boat, then. :good

 

It's probably something similar to the relationship with Eubank and a lot of the Brit fans from his era.You get a split opinion with a lot saying he was overrated protected domestic fighter who got loads of gift decisions.

MInd you, Eubank was in a lot more controversial fights than Yuh, though he did fight a higher level of competition.

 

YEy whatever Remember when i schooled your ass on that trivia question thread on the General? When you use to go by certain other name? You threw these supposedly hard questions at me and i answered all of them, thought i didnt know about turn of the century fighters. Then i asked you some and you were stumped:yep:yep I would have left it alone Pea. But you wanna start talking ****:bart

Go watch some more you tube fights kid!!

 

What?

You may well be the most immature 40 year old I've ever come across.

 

I prefer young at heart

 

Absolutely, Yuh was in a tough fight to win his first world title which is understandable, especially considering the size disparity between him and Olivo. After that, he had tough fights with Gamez and Ioka, in which he won rematches fairly easy. He essentially beat every opponent he ever faced, and Eubank is as much disliked here for his showboating and inactivity than anything else. Yuh was the opposite in that regard, completely respectful of his opposition, and he'd often throw in excess of a 100 punches a round.

Yeah, I'm finding it pretty hard to fathom why Yuh wouldn't be held in the highest regard in his homeland. The moment I saw him I knew he was a world class fighter. He looks very good on film, and that's half the battle.

 

...And Anarci, for **** sake. Grow up you ****.

 

Just watched some more Yuh and it has changed my opinion on this fight.

In his bouts with Putt Ohnyuthanakorn and Rodrigo Blanco, Yuh shows abit of a vulnerability to lateral movement and long straight shots as both of his opponents have success (albeit limited) with this type of style. Sound familiar?

Also when Yuh throws his power punches, mainly his straight right, he tends to square up as he steps inside and this would be horrible against Lopez as it would be perfect for Lopez's counter uppercuts.

I don't give Yuh much chance at all now.

 

I struggled to give Blanco or Putt a round during their respective fights with Yuh. Both fighters were stopped if I'm not mistaken. Outclassed down the stretch.

Yeah, Lopez's counter uppercuts would certainly be a primary weapon in this fight as I cited in one of my earlier posts. I think Yuh would most likely step up his game in the event he was fighting the greatest 105lbs fighter in history, and would make things as uncomfortable and as congested for Lopez as possible. Still, it's going to be tough.

 

I did not give Blanco a round but gave Putt 2. And they were both stoped, but they are obviously a much lower level than Lopez.

I also do not think Yuh is anywhere near proven enough.

 

Proven enough for what?.To be picked over Lopez specifically, or just in general.
