Today in Santa Fe Springs, “The Jawbreaker” (we christened this nick name to Josesito) Josesito Lopez held a workout for media and press alike in advance of his fight with the undefeated wunderkid Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Right off the bat Lopez displayed vastly improved punching power and the fighter admits he is much happier not having to worry about cutting weight this time around. Much has been said about this fight being unfair, as a junior welterweight is stepping in the ring against a junior middleweight. A few weeks ago, both fighters weighed in about the same weight as Lopez tipped the scales at 166 (Alvarez 167) and Lopez feels the weight wont be so much of an issue. “I am not too worried about the weight. I have prepared really well and I have been able to focus on hard training this whole camp. I am coming to win in Las Vegas come September 15th,” Said Lopez.
We were lucky enough to film Lopez hitting the bags and mitts as we recorded both workouts in their entirety! Enjoy!
