I think Lopez will win this and win it well, he's a real class act who I think is capable of beating anyone at super bantamweight.


*now watch Penalosa win a wide unanimous decision :geek:

I think Lopez will have to work for this win though, don't expect an early blowout, Penalosa is a smart fighter and won't want to risk getting in a slugging match with Lopez.

Lopez has got the reputation as a banger due to his recent blowouts but the guy has excellent boxing skills as well as power - I reckon he'll pick up points in the early rounds with precise boxing and turn up the heat in the second half of the fight.

I'm a big Penalosa fan, I think he's a great boxer to watch for the purist. I'd give him a decent chance of springing the upset, but I think he's too small for this division, especially against a beast like Lopez. He was too defensive when in with the bigger, stronger Ponce De Leon, and the same thing could well happen again here. Make no mistake though, if Lopez wins - whatever way - he's the real deal.

Lopez looks a million dollars, a mini Trinidad replacement, we hope.

Careful if you're watching this tomorrow and staying away from the Froch result, as they'll probably mention it in the commentary.
