What’s your prediction?
Not a complete shutout, but Spence to win comfortably on points.
Molina is dropped twice and somehow survives the round! I don't think he wanted to. It was a big overhand right that dropped him initially and the onslaught just continued from there, with Lopez dropping him again late in the round.
More of the same there. Lopez now fighting the smart fight, he knows he has this in the bag and he's not being wreckless with it. Molina will only be able to take this for so long, he's working nicely behind the jab and waiting to set something nice up for himself.
With around 30 seconds of the round left, Lopez puts in a good body combo to sustain the pressure.
A very quiet round there. Lopez is still winning it but has possibly begun to tire, his jab had less sting in that one and was even caught by a right which seemed to have impact.
