    Who do you think wins this exciting match up at Featherweight? This would have been an absolute war where both guys can stop the other, but who ends up victorious?

    I think Saldivar would use his movement, superior technique, & accurate left hand to beat Lopez in a manner not too dissimilar from his own win vs. Ramos.

    Saldivar was a cut above but the thing of it is, Lopez was constantly dangerous. I would not be shocked at an upset.

    Prime Vicente is one of the greatest feathers ever. He is a level above Little Red. Vicente wins this.

    I like Saldivar here, but would be too scared to bet on it.

    That’s a good one. Saldivar is much better but could be vulnerable

    What always interested me about Saldivar was how he would square himself up more than most, yet get away with that while being a technically excellent boxer and not really get hit all that much. Humberto Gonzalez was that way too somewhat.

    It's difficult to imagine someone squaring up against the power of someone like Lopez and coming out on top but I couldn't pick against Saldivar here. He stops a brave Lopez late.

    Poor Danny never fares real well in these fantasy matchups, does he?
