I still think we'll see Canelo vs Ortiz.
Just watched Canelo - Lopez
Full fight is on YouTube (albeit a bit jumpy)
It was hard to gauge just how good Alvarez was, when we consider it was a Light middleweight up against a Light Welterweight. He worked the left to the body well, and the jab has improved. The right over the top, and hia combination punching was also pretty good. But his defence still looks leaky (could you get more Mexican if you tried). But of course that could be because he had zero respect for lopez's power.
In the end, the lighter man was overwhelmed and bashed up, just like everyone thought.
Where do both go from here?
Lopez obviously drops back down to at least Welter, but does Canelo get his shot at money may? Cotto - Trout winner down the line?

I know, but with Ortiz having a bit of name value/notoriety (delete as you wish) it's an easy sell.
The fact that Ortiz is crap and has form for bailing out of tough fights on multiple occasions is kinda secondary.
He's like the Derek Chisora of American boxing.
