Re: Juanma Lopez comeback on 2nd Feb 2013 in PR at Super-Feather
I think the guys done. Was personally never a fan of the guy because he had the skills to box and chose to slug with guys that otherwise had no chance. He's been clipped by plenty of guys and never once worked on any of it. I found it funny whenever he got clipped for hanging his chin out there too long because he thought he was unstoppable. You'd think watching his whole career flash before him so many times would make him a more cautious, smarter fighter... He was scared $hitle$$ of Salido the second time. You could see it in his face. He felt it coming and Salido confidence skyrocketed since the first fight. It went from being salidos only hope to salidos every hope. Gamboa had been licking his chops for the longest for a fight with Juanma too. I know the word "exposed" gets overused, but whoever said it above... had it right. If it had been Gamboa that exposed him. Juanma may have had a life after because Gamboa was that good. Now that its been Salido, every bum gonna be taking liberties by trying to swing with him and catch him with a bomb in exchanges. Juanma strikes me as too proud to think he did anything wrong...and adapt. I could be wrong...
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
