Try some excerpts under.
Lopez Sr on the tip results of the battle
“I feel the 117-111, alright man, however I had him profitable virtually each spherical. Like that is loopy. If you wish to come right here, if he wished to field, okay, I can perceive that however you bought to let your fingers go when you field.
“This man got here, actually simply working with out letting his fingers go as a result of he knew if he would’ve tried to the touch or tried to throw whereas he was working he would’ve received countered. We waited for that but it surely by no means occurred, he by no means got here for it.
“Completely, we had extra punches than him, he was lacking all the things that he generally threw. However we’re pleased with the win, we go one other day. Hopefully we get a greater dancing companion subsequent time ‘trigger this was ridiculous. They need to do away with folks like this in boxing, for actual.”
On the fan response to the choice
“No person actually booed…they booed the opposite man as quickly as he got here up so it was simply a type of fights that you would be able to’t give the general public what they need since you don’t have companion there to point out your expertise. However we’ll be alright. We’ll come again and hopefully get anyone who desires to battle.”
On believing his son gained the battle clearly
“It wasn’t no shut battle. For those who see, we’re profitable ‘constructive aggression’ it’s known as. We’re touching him, we’re hitting him to the physique. These are the one pictures that we might generally get in there as a result of it’s a bit bit tough a man within the face or wherever else if he’s working like that.
“Slicing the corners, we did that. However this man wasn’t even boxing backwards, he was simply working in order that’s even tougher to chop the corners that method. However we’ll prepare for this as a result of that is precisely what everyone’s going to do now, going to attempt to simply run backwards, run backwards, run backwards. They suppose that’s the one solution to beat my son however I feel that (Ortiz) was actually damage in plenty of the rounds generally. I assumed that we had him however that’s why he didn’t need to commit, he felt the facility from the start.
“He was simply enjoying it secure. He doesn’t even belong within the boxing world. That is two males entering into there and the perfect man wins. However, I imply, you bought to go at it.”
