    Assuming it's the motivated Lopez that beat Campas, and not the lazy version that lost to Page.

    Either one of two things happen here... Marg is too active for Lopez and outworks him, or... Marg is too hittable for Lopez and gets countered into bolivian.

    I tend to think it's the later. I think Marg's style was PERFECT for a prime Lopez. Marg fighting Lopez the same he fought Cotto is gonna backfire, since Lopez hit a HELLUVA lot harder than Cotto, was stronger, and had a much better chin.

    Lopez TKO 8.

    Agreed that if Lopez is ready, he not only has a chin himself, but that firepower is too much to take for Margarito, despite his good chin. He’s just too open and Lopez will have the target to land his best powers shots.

    Lopez gets him out late.

    Considering the stoner Lopez blew his chance to be P4P #1 against the chinny James Page, I'm guessing 75% of the time, the stoner gets out-worked by Margarito
