Scores were a joke. thought orozco just nicked it but not by much.
Agreed- scores dont show the true fight.
This should be a rematch. Lopez is tuff as nails but needs a new trainer as he doesn’t utilize his talents.

Been waiting for someone to put up the Diaz fight.
those judges shouldn’t be allowed to score.
When you’re No. 10 and the No. 70 beats you up all night — using slow punches and the footwork of Boris Karloff — something’s wrong.
I saw a draw, as HBO did, or at best a close win for Orozco. The ridiculous scores are consistent with the odor rising from Golden Boy Productions.
Very entertaining fight plenty of action thanks to the relentless pressure that Lopez put during the whole fight. However, Lopez was too frontal and never exercised his big advantage reach fighting only at short distance. Techically, Orozco demonstrated that he is a much better boxer than Lopez displaying a very nice punch combination which most of the time was quite accurate. However, Orozco’s frustration reached a very high point when he realized that in spite of hitting Lopez very hard was not able to produce any damage. In my opinion the fight was very close, may be a couple of points difference in favor of Orozco, but not the absurd decision that all the judges reached here.
