Former WBC Welterweight Champion "Vicious" Victor Ortiz will be taking on 27 year old Josesito Lopez in a classic southpaw versus orthodox match-up.
Although most fight scribes are looking past the former Super Featherweight fighter, the underrated and aggressive mauler from Riverside will more than likely be a surprisingly tough outing for the "Vicious" one from Garden City, Kansas. While Lopez will be making his debut in the Welterweight division, both men are comparable in height and reach.
Lopez will be giving up the power advantage but will be pressing the action from start to finish, while more than likely throwing a higher volume of punches.
This should create many openings for Victor Ortiz, but they will be opportunities while punching off of his back foot; a variable that has given the former 147 pound world champion problems in previous fights against aggressive opposition.
