This is a matchup Lopez could actually win. He has a chance to KO Cotto like Torres did at 140 pounds. And Lopez is sorta similar to Torres in that he's got pretty fast hands with devastating power, but he's also not likely to be in the kind of shape needed to pull off the necessary workrate. Lopez fights in spurts whereas Cotto is likely to fight for 3 minutes of every round.
I think Cotto gets knocked down and seriously hurt more than once in this fight, but his more consistent work particularly when he goes behind his jab will allow him to win this fight via close but deserved decision. I doubt the Lopez of 1997 gets stopped by Cotto, but he does take a good pounding en route to losing an unpopular decision. |
