THIS is how it is done boys and girls!
Distance control, perfect balance, varied combinations, angles and one punch power with either hand. Technical Excellence thy name is Ricardo Lopez!
And then just for grins, watch the Lopez fighting spirit. He is 35 and fading, cut in four places, going life and death with Bufalo Alvarez and the doctor is considering stopping the fight. Now watch how Finito comes out of the corner before round eleven. Ten seconds early, hands up in the center of the ring!

Marble, the fact that Lopez wasn't in the Ls makes the contest look less than intelligent. It doesn't tarnish the legend of Lopez at all.

I agree. I also admit to excessive and pervasive biased enthisuasm regarding Mr. Lopez.

Looking over his resume on BoxRec.
20 successful defenses before his draw with Alvarez. His last fight was also Arthur Mercante Sr's last fight refereeing.

Too bad Calderon came a decade later. Nice little man fight that would have been. Also PR vs Mexico.

Yup. I don't know how Iron Boy does enough to win though. Like to have seen it!
