  • If lopez wants to be an elite fighter, he needs to be In with only top guys… step it up. So many options…

    • What’s the beef? Martin is a live body. Prograis just fought, Taylor is matched up. May as well stay busy until some sort of title match pops up.

  • I think Martin is a live dog. He proved that he can win when brought into lose. Also Lopez is up in weight for just the 2nd time. He may not have the same advantages with strength and power that he did at 135lb. Martin is fast and busy plus he believes in himself. I am interested to see how this plays out.
