fight of the year candidate for sure….thank you salido and lopez for a great fight
Round 9 is the round of the year. Incredible stuff, incredible night of boxing.
awesome fight get on silly what a fighter , hopefully watch this in english, this fight ***** five star for sure dam that was a good fight , doesnt get any better than that only good words 4 that
Apparently after the fight Lopez complained it was stopped prematurely. He must have been listening to a sycophantic corner-man. Stopped any later and Lopez could have wound up in a medical facility with swelling on the brain and his life in jeopardy.
…for me it is a good stoppage by the ref….lopez is young and powerful he can improve his fighting style….salido is more powerful and tactical!!!!
lopez is clearly losing punch by punch…salido has the clearer shots.
Rnds. 8 and 9 were incredible. Great action. I’m a big Lopez fan but those judges were biased he was not winning the fight on points nohow. He gave it his all tho, def. a great warrior.

Good Stoppage, he was out on his feet three punches before. Also watch his head and neck when he hits the canvas, the ref did his job, protecting the fighter. Great Fight!!!

TERRIBLE STOPPAGE
your an idiot and your parents are probably idiots too!! you really wanted Lopez to get seriously hurt u dueche!
Lol dude couldn’t even walk straight. noob.
no 10.4
A classic war to both fighters..the stoppage is timely.
Poor Lopez sometimes a fighter just happens to be perfect for taking you out. Not much you can do about something like that:/ He fought his heart out..
awesome fight! good call by the ref, Lopez would of taken unnecessary damage sometimes the ref has to make the call for the fighters or they will try to fight to the death but it was clear that Lopez had no chance or recovering from that K.O. his eyes had already rolled back and he couldn’t stand up straight at all. I don’t think he was being a soar loser I just think he wanted to fight till the end like a true warrior even if it would cause him permanent injury or even death and that’s why there are ref’s and corner men to keep them safe because sometimes the fighters just don’t know when to QUIT.

No se como pueden ponerla como entre las mejores!! Mis ojos y mi entender por boxeo ven esta contienda como paliza del mexicano al boricua! Clasico boxeador mejicano buen manejo de las dos manos, desde mi punto de vista le dio una clase de como pegar con las piernas! Hermoso! Etiqueta pelea “virtuoso” vs “mexicano”.
