Notes
- Althought Salido dominated the most rounds by outlanding and outworking his challenger in every round except the first, two judges surprisingly had Lopez ahead, while one judge saw the bout as a draw after nine rounds.
- Salido wobbled Lopez in the fifth round but was knocked down by Lopez with a counter right hand as Salido went on the attack
- With toe-to-toe action and about 200 punches thrown, the ninth round emerged as a "Round Of The Year" candidate
- Early in the tenth, Salido landed a hard three punch combination, knocking Lopez down. Lopez came back on his feet, but was on very unsteady legs, so referee Roberto Ramirez waved the bout off.
- After the fight Lopez said in an interview with Showtime that he felt he was dominating the bout and alleged that the referee stopped the fight early due to a gambling problem. Therefore, the WBO suspended Lopez for one year [2][3]
- Salido stated he’s willing to fight Juanma a third time.
