Jimmy Wilde v. Ricardo Lopez

[Unforgiven]

Battle of The Giants.

Who takes this ?

[Flea Man]

Wilde has the chin (have seen two of his stoppage losses, one is just, the other one is against Villa, Wildes last fight) to cope with Lopez to a degree, and the power to cause Lopez problems IMO.

Lopez will find the timing to land shots on Wilde; Wilde's hands down style will see him take some heavy artillery from the precise and perfectly formed punches of Lopez.

But I'd favour Wilde to back Lopez up as the fight goes on and punch his way to a victory. He seems aept at fighting in close, winging shots in non-stop, and Lopez's inside game leaves a lot to be desired.

How many rounds? Could shift opinions depending on the distance :good

Can honestly go either way though, I'd be interested to hear some more objective views on the subject :good

[Unforgiven]

Let's say 12 or 15 rounds, doesn't matter to me.

Unless it matters, then people are free to state the difference in result over the different distance.

Fair enough.

I think Lopez can win a close decision over 12 but Wilde would push him harder over 15 leading to a points win for 'The Mighty Atom' or a late stoppage. :good

Bump

[asero]

counter punching of lopez is the difference. Lopez by late round KO

[Flea Man]

Anyone else?

I honestly think its an interesting clash of styles.
