Comments Thread For: Saul Alvarez-Josesito Lopez Reportedly Done For 9/15

[lefthook2daliva]

I wondered that too... but with Oscar saying the final announcement was/is supposed to be today... I don't know that they could change it in that short of time. It may have been what they did with putting Mayorga's name out there. But if they've done ANY reading since this article has come out.... I can't imagine they've seen even a slight bit of positive feedback on Lopez being the opponent. Don't get me wrong, Lopez is deserving...... but not at a 154lb champ after he just came off his FIRST fight at 147lb (didn't even come in all the way at 147lbs for that) AND not after he (Lopez) just came off his toughest fight (in a new division) in what will be a little over 2 months to prepare to fight an even tougher fight at an even higher weight against THE 154 champ.

This definitely seems to be one of the most immediate, vehement and unanimous backlashes I've seen (at least on this site). Look at how few dissenting views there are. W/the exception of Maniac310 I don't think I've seen a post that has any more than tepid love for this matchup. And not because of Lopez. He seems to be pretty much universally respected. It seems to mostly be about wanting to see Alvarez face a legit challenge.

2 fights on Sept 15th...im all in for that. One of them a cheating fatboy with fathers name and influence behind him facing a P4P and the other a 21 year old facing someone (not sure its Lopez yet). Im in for that.

Then throw in the undercards..hell yeah

This fight should not be made......seriously.
Its good for Lopez cause its a no lose situation for a lot of money.
But whoever advises Canelo should be shot....fight a freaking jr middle already!!


On a side note I do think it will be a entertaining night of fights
Canelo VS Lopez
Seth Mittchel vs Johnathan Banks(rumored)
Ponce de leon vs Gonzales
And a 4th fight.

I really hope Top Rank puts on a good undercard.

Hold on folks....DRUMROLL.....History is about to be made!!!!!! Now if someone can tell me what the *** the "history" that is that is being made, it sure will clear up some things, lol! We know it is not Lopez unless it is record 154 pound title defences against non natural 154 pounders, lol. I'll be holding my breath for every moment waiting for Oscar, lol.

I really hate how ODH over exaggerates his upcoming announcements. I thought he would make a good promoter, but I guess they are all full of shhhhit.

Canelo will be the first to go down in weight class instead of fighting fighters at or above his.
He's fought more people below JMW than actual JMW's

Uh in what parallel universe is it called "Martinez-Chavez"??? GTFO.

JCC JR has the belt, he has the leverage, he has more fans, he has more $$$, and he has the bigger promoter.

It's Chavez-Martinez.

Don't cry about it..seriously. I just typed it out as i thought of it in my head, its nothing i took time to think over before i hit the keyboard.

As you said Chavez might have the belt, bigger promoter, more fans, bigger ****? Who cares..im not bothered in the slightest. Im a fan of Boxing and watching good fights, whos name comes 1st on the poster isn't that big of a deal to me.

But if i hurt your feeling i apologize. 'Chavez vs Martinez'...there you go.

Actually your right, i kind of feel alot better about myself now after changing the order in which i typed-out 2 peoples surnames. I can actually feel my life changing for the better as we speak.
Thanks man, i owe you big time for setting me in the right direction.

Salvador Sanchez was fighting like 5 times a year . wHen You seen Mexicos best and greatest champ that should set the bar. By no means am I sold on Canelo who has he fought?!?! bums I tell ya. Josesito fights like a real Mexican Canelo is the Tommy GUnn brock lesnar or Box

[Hougigo]

I'd rather see Alfonos Gomez vs Lopez... real Mexican battle
