NO MATCH!!!!
Should not of taken that fight. Guy was way bigger then lopez no real contest.
Lopez actually weighed 1 pound less than Canelo, not much of a difference. Canelo did a great job…and from the beginning, was the better fighter.
Canelo’s a scary bast*d. I wanna see him fight some elite fighters.
YES YOURE RIGHT LOPEZ GOT TOO MUCH WEIGHT FOR THIS FIGHT AND THATS WRONG LOPES IS TWO DIVISIONS BELOW ALVARES I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THANKS
Lopez went from 140 to 147 to fight Ortiz. In his very next fight he went from 147 to 154 to fight Canelo, so yes Lopez was too small for a natural 154 like Canelo.
Should have let Lopez go another round or two if he had not gotten knocked down…
Lopez got royally wrecked
Lopez wants to be pound for pound champ so bad… too bad he bit off more than he can chew.
Canelo is a vicious body puncher. throws with conviction.
Canelo is deftly improved but not there yet, his defense is weak, he still a little late backpunching, hopefully good managing will keep’m in a good route.
who there is no hope for is that idiot named JC Chavez Jr. Spoiled mama’s boy, he aint worth crap as a boxer.
a good decision from the ref, u can actually see the difference in power and speed, canelo just dominated the round an controlled the pace and also the center of the ring.
no more taxi drivers we want a top notch boxer… gayweather but he wont fight good fighters … im sure gayweather will want to fight chavez jr. now ….he only fights fighters he thinks he can beat …
**knows he can beat. he is 43-0 after all…
he will be the best all the way around.
he is the sh*t of all time,is a good figther i have no dout in my mind he will be the best pound by pound in no time.
the ginger bread bully strikes again fight someone ur own size you ginger fool
most boring announcers ever
Lopez was down 3 times, I think it was a good desicion to stop the fight there.
Josesito is good boxer but Canelo was too much
gracias muy bueno!
