It's weird because I was never a fan of Juanma until I saw him lose to Salido for the second time..
Even in defeat, what touched my heart was how he handled himself during the fight. He came out with a plan to box but when that didnt work, he said the hell with this crap and went back to his brawling mode.. Dude was getting tagged constantly in the first half of the fight so for him to start brawling takes mad cojones. To make a decision like that in the middle of a fight takes a huge heart and that fight got me choked up for some reason.. That performance turned me into a Juanma fan forever!!
People say Juanma is done but I say that's bullshit cuz dude is still young and only has two losses by the same opponent! It could simply be a case of a fighter having the number of another fighter so whose to say that Juanma is finished? Physically he's fine imo, it's just in his mindset..
Juanma claims that he still wants to fight Gamboa and i actually think it's a winnable one considering how Gamboa has a shitty defense and gets tagged and dropped by almost everybody he fights.
What if Juanma were to go to Japan to take Takashi's title?? that would really put him on the map again..
And remember when Caballero wanted to face him so badly?? Who wins today??
How many of u are fans of this bad ass Rican Juanma??
