Seems to suggest Brooks opponent is going to be Josesito Lopez.

I dont think that is a particularily great fight. Lopez was losing to Ortiz until he broke his jaw and he's just coming off being knocked out by Maidana. Wont tell us much to be honest.

Lopez is a test still he really hurt Maidana and can take a bit of punishment before going down.

He hurt Maidana to the body. Maidana has been hurt by body shots before so it's no surprise. Brook hasnt shown that vulnerability. He's not going to outbox Brook and he doesnt hit hard enough to knock Brook out. To me it's not a tougher fight than the Carson Jones fight.

If it's at welter then Lopez may make a lot of a body attack; it depends on where the bout is held; has Lopez been abroad before?
