Ya we were always gonna get that first, Shirley.
Can Lopez get the 1st stoppage, can Abe land odds of 7/1...? :maybe:

lopez not really hurting abe so far, but no way is that eye lasting 12

fight is like lopez trying to swat a pesky fly. he's managing to do it, but fly keeps buzzing and occasionally making him miss wildly

if abe didnt have his eye f@cked up he could probably go 12 like this, but the eye is looking bad and other one is puffy now

and lopez misses about every punch in that final flurry, ref was obviously getting edgy about a stoppage, cant blame him tbh

abe with a good chin, took plenty but never really visibly hurt . some decent movement and angles, but badly outgunned

seems mean to call Abe disappointing when he showed so much grit fighting on, but even w/o the injury(s) he offered nothing to beat Lope.

his normal style of boxing is a lot of movement, powerless arm punchees and point scoring from long range. against someone with so much more fire power, who made him hesitant to open up, he just became a spoiler using that approach.

both guys fast with the hands and legs, feeling out a lot of bouncing. otabek a bit more aggresive, landed a decent left

ford reminds me a lot of floyd in the face

OK looks a bit special.

Ford none too shabby, close 1st ?

Probably OK 10-9. :maybe:

First time I've seen Otabek, very good fighter.

Like to see him be more offensive, he looks the harder puncher in there.

This is a closer fight than I thought it would be. Ford is a live dog in this.
