Another set of weird scorecards but another correct winner in the end, with Lopez grabbing a majority decision to capture the WBA welterweight title and become a champion in a third weight class after previous claims at 135 and 140 pounds.
"These judges' scorecards have not been good tonight," analyst Sergio Mora said.
Judge Glenn Feldman had it dead even at 114 apiece, but he was overruled, correctly, by Max DeLuca's 115-113 and Tim Cheatam's 116-112.
B/R gave Lopez 10 of 12 rounds for a wide 118-110 margin.
"The scorecards, I could care less," Lopez said, "because I got the victory. This is the road to undisputed."
