What a joke of a fight. Lopez is two weight classes north of where he should be/ This is nothing more than a paycheck and a beating for Lopez.

 

Yup. When is the gingerbread man gonna take on a worthy opponent at the weight.... After this he has to take on a real challenger.

 

To his credit, he was supposed to fight Paul Williams, then the car accident. Then he was getting Victor Ortiz, then the Lopez upset.

 

Yeah, it was a shame obviously what happened to Williams. That would have been a decent affair. Fuck Ortiz, i'm glad he lost.

 

Lets hope this undercard is good, cause the main event has no appeal.

McAlvarez is gonna destroy WHO'Sesito.

 

Maidana-Soto Karass is probably gonna be a FOTY

 

Probably, but in all honesty I wouldn't be surprised if Lopez bashed him. He's a good, honest, gutsy pug and the Ginger is overrated. The truth is though he's probably just a bit too small, he's a 140 pounder.

 

I ain't no Ginger fan, but no. He ain't losing to a journeyman. And no make no mistake, that's all Lopez is. A journeyman/fringe contender at best.

It's gonna take a world class fighter like Lara, Cotto, or maybe Trout, to beat Ginger.

 

Yeah you're probably right. Ginger isn't an elite fighter, but he's solid enough that it'll take a world class guy to beat him.

 

I hope Maidana gets the shit beat out of him.

 

After this fight, Ginger's next fight BETTER BE against the Cotto-Trout winner, or Lara-Vanes winner.

Berto is moving up to fight K9 in Nov.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Alvarez-Berto.

 

New WW champ Paulie Malignaggi color commentator

 

Paulie M is commentating tonight for Showtime.

I think he's very good in this role, and has a future on Showtime/HBO when his career's over.

 

Why the fuck is there a guy with a ghoul mask in Santa Cruz's corner

 

Well we got fireworks in the first round

 

A yank version of Margarito vs. a washed up yank version of Cotto at BW

 

Santa Cruz is better than punk ass Mares.

 

Santa Cruz is killing Morel's body

 

Entertaining fight even though Morel is fighting the wrong fight and will be stopped soon.

 

He was just stopped

 

Corner stopped the fight.

 

Santa Cruz beat the Hell outta Morel and forced Morel's corner to stop it.

Santra Cruz vs Mares would be a fun war.

 

Good call from the corner of Morel. He was getting too much punishment particularly to the body, had no more legs and would have been brutalized in the following round.

 

Yup. Santa Cruz will stop Mares too.

 

This is a good card, didn't even realize it was a quadruple bill. It's long over due that Paulie is announcing.
