This fight was all Lopez, the smaller guy but the faster and stronger. In spite of being a hard puncher he also is a very good technician who knows very well how to use the jab and posses good accuracy with both hands. Edis wasn’t at all a match for him. It was funny to listen to Edis’s comments before the fight. I guess he knows now and very well who Lopez is.
