It was unwise for Lopes and his coaches to think they were going to close that large of a talent and experience gap between fights. By all means, skill up for the long-term, but it should've been obvious from their last meeting that Lopes' only shot to win was going to be brawling with Volk.

Again, props to Lopes for hanging 5 rounds with Volk. But tonight's gameplan didn't put Lopes in position to win. Lopes would've been better served to come out like Gathje vs Pimblett.

quote:

Lopez has always came straight forward and mixed it up. He did very little of that tonight That’s not even debatable. Did volk do what he needed? Yes. But each of the guys that have beaten him have put the pressure on him and got him out of there. That’s also a truth. Lopez didn’t do enough. Especially for a second try
it's also possible that Lopes isn't good enough to do that. It's possible that Volk did things in the fight that kept Lopes from being able to do what you wanted him to do.

It's not as black and white as, Lopes didn't go forward and that's all on him. The most accomplished Featherweight of all time was in the other corner and had a lot to do with that.

Lopes apparently broke both of his feet...

Dang, crazy. You could see he did something to the one foot during a kick late in the fight.

Man, Volk really did destroy him. That's impressive.

He damned near had to be carried out of the cage post-fight. It was clear something have given way at some point.
