    Does Floyd out-box the stoner, or does the stoner crack his chin

    Maybe Floyd had to shake off a scary moment but that's about all.

    An in shape Lopez was dangerous for sure. But we rarely saw that version. And when we did it was vs a made to order opponent in campas

    Floyd by wide UD. Lopez didn't have the swarming, quick-footed style that's needed to beat Floyd. He was a slow-footed, methodical puncher - the type of style Floyd thrives against.

    Yeah I can’t see Lopez doing much here. He had talent but didn’t have the heart or desire to fight the way he’d need to hear. Floyd just picks him apart at distance all night and wins a UD.
