I'm a bit out of it right now, but hell, a Marcos Maidana vs Josesito Lopez would be CRAZY! Lopez has made a name for himself at WW against a guy that Maidana beat at 140 to make himself known...what better for GBP to make it up to us boxing fans, than to make this fight?

Of course this would take place at 147...what do you guys have for this one? I'll share my thoughts later...just wanna know what you all think.

Update: The bout has been set June 8th at the Home Depot Center in LA. [size="2"][/size]

Good points guys!

I gave this one to Maidana by way of a close and controversial decision. Maidana can take a punch, and he's hella active nowadays during fights. Not only is he active, but he shows decent boxing skills, and not just walking into punches to wear the other guy down.

Lopez has just as much grit, but he doesn't take punches as well as Maidana. I like Lopez, but his pride gets the best of him, and he ends up exchanging with guys who have more power than him (Ortiz and Canelo). Sometimes he lands, and pretty much waits for the other guy to throw back...not good against the Maidanas of the world.

I just see Lopez landing a lot of body shots (which drift low from time to time), and getting a point deduction, which throws off the cards. He'll only get this point deduction because the ref will already be frustrated with Maidana for punching late, and a point will already be taken from him. Lol. I'm laughing, but I'm serious.

If Kenny Bayless caught that much hell trying to ref Maidana's last bout, then a piece of shit ref will be for a loooong night. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Again, I see the tide of this fight changing, along with point deductions, and sadly, I believe it goes the distance.
