4. Marcos Maidana vs. Josesito Lopez
Earlier in the year, I got to enjoy a nice summer night of action in Carson, CA when Marcos Maidana took on Josesito Lopez.
After seeing Alfredo Angulo grow a near baseball-sized lump on the side of his head–one that could be seen from very far away, I might add–I needed my spirits to be lifted up by two unrelenting warriors.
Marcos Maidana, a man whose scary power earned him wins over Jesus Soto-Karass, Victor Ortiz, and almost Amir Khan, was nearly hurt before stopping Josesito Lopez.
Both fighters engaged in flurries in the pocket with Maidana eventually getting the best of it.
