This guy is scheduled to fight JuanMa Lopez, Instead of fighting Caballero claiming that he has to pay 3% of his purse to the WBO,IBF and WBA.I say pay the damn money and knock Caballero's ass out and be the undisputed Super Bantamweight.
^^that would have been fight of the year had it been on hbo boxing after dark, or even espn friday night fights
Thats fight was a absolute war, best fight of the year for me, at that time. Mtagwa at least at this fight with lopez will have time to train and will be in his natural weight. In most of that loses he came about one or two weeks notice and over his naturall weight even two division more. he is a durable fighter with a lot of heart and a good chin sadly this would not help, and Lopez would ko him early, at least Roger will be preprared this time and can last at least 4 to 6 rounds.
Mtagwa's gritty and has a chin, but he's about 20 skill levels lower than Lopez. I was there live when Billy Dib obliterated Mtagwa. I don't even want to think what Juanma will do to him.
I'm just curious how much the total pot would grow should Lopez fight Caballero. If he can make more money fighting lesser opponents given the greater disparity in purse split, then perhaps that's his reason for eschewing the unification.
The fight is pretty much a pointless one, Lopez needs to keep fighting quality opponents. I saw Mtagwa vs Villa it was a war but there was 0 technique involved lol just pure winging and swinging.
I expect a brutal ko in this one, i think Arum knows it and thats why He is putting Mtagwa i there so he can make Lopez looks like a monster, and build more hype in the kid.
