A rough start for Mosley who sustained a bloody headbutt in the first round. This was the beginning of a fight punctuated by many pauses… In the second round, he scored a KD after one of his widely thrown right hook finally touch the chin of Lopez. In the third round, he threw a straight right counterpunch, but it was ruled as a slip by the referee. On the same sequence, there was another unintentional headbutt. Age really slowed Mosley down and I got bored after the 4th round, since the rhythm of this fight was inconstant. I seeked for the last round expecting a UD, but to my surprise Mosley was able to finally close the deal with a KO. In my opinion, the referee should’ve stop the fight after the 2nd KD of this round (which he then again ruled as a slip). Clearly, we could see Lopez was done by the way he guillotined his head in the ropes.
An aged Mosley, slow, ponderous and a shadow of himself in his prime. The match up was balanced a 50% fighter against a worn out one. The outcome was inevitable, a boring hugging match.
