Of course, after the first fight Lopez made no excuses, but we all know what was going on with him personally. Im sure that gaining crazy weight between fights (like he usually does), did him no favors in the first fight. At this point, Lopez seems very vulnerable (according to his last bout), but will he be able to pull it off against Salido this time?

As for Salido, he really has nothing to lose. He has enough loses on his record, to say the least, so Im not all that sure if he cares about losing. I mean he does have a title, but he stopped Lopez, so in my opinion, he doesn't have to do anything else right in his career (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Thoughts?

Yeah, Broner vs. Lopez, or Gamboa would be very interesting. Not really a fan of the very low weight divisions as a whole, but there are definitley some great boxers in those divisions. Looking forward to seeing more of Gary Russell too.

Yeah Im trying to pay more attention the lower weight classes, but its clear that they aren't what they used to be...with the likes FMJ, Morales, Barrers, JMM, Pacquiao, Hamed, and so forth.

I like Juanman. He brings it. But he leaves his chin out in the air and gets cracked/knocked down easily. I just really didn't like the way Juanma looked in the Salido fight. There was no passion, no thunder in his punches. He wasn't as relentless as i'm used to seeing him. He has more than enough tools and power to put Salido away I believe.

He has what it takes, but as Max explained, Salido was taking some of Juanma's best punches. I blame it on Lopez blowing up in weight between fights. He was reported to have weighed around 180 lbs at a cookout (according to Arum), months before the Salido fight. That sounds a bit exaggerated, but I need to find the article that I read about him.
