A new boxing superstar has arised. Juan Manuel Lopez impressed a lot of people that many of them think he's ready to take on Izzy or Rafa. It wouldn't be a bad idea too if he faces Caballero or any other champs in that division for unification before the year end.
What do you guys think?
Yes he looked so composed , De Leon came out as usual throwing major bombs , he was unfazed and was brutal . exciting times ahead i feel.
I heard him calling out Israel Vazquez for Unified , but IMO he should make another fights defending the Title and then make a big one .........
Im telling you guys , this Kid would be an undefeated boxer for good while ...........;D
i thiunk maybe bit too early to fight vasquez, but then again i thought it was too early for him to face pdl and look what happened
Juanma vs rafa is a fight id like to see
he should fight vasquez.:cool:
I'm not sure if Arum will push through his plan of having JuanMa defend his title against another TopRank boxer, the Philippines top 122 lbs. prospect, Bernabe Concepcion...
.
yup, reps up for that. and you know who i'd be rooting for :)Quote:

Bernabe Concepcion need to impress Arum on July 26 Cotto-Margarito card and I think he can do it...

man I was gutted PDL got beaten, I was really hoping for a PDL-Vasquez
fight! have to give alot of credit to Lopez though, he looks the real deal!!
I have been a fan of lopez for awhile. The kid did great in beating PDL and i can't wait to see who he fights next.
It might be to early to predict but I think Marquez and Vazquez might be just a lil shop worn when they get to Juan Ma. This boy bangs with bad intentions with a lot of skill behind it. Maybe in the near future Juan Ma and Jorge Linares squares off, Linares might be just a tad bigger framed though:-\
He should fight Concepcion.

You guys honestly want to see Concepcion face Lopez? That would not end good for Concepcion, he would be completely outboxed and probably knocked out JML is on another level.
I think at this point Lopez would be the favorite against anyone he faced. Would probably give Marquez the best shot at beating him.
Maybe this Kid just might be the one to clean the division. He seems very personable too.Quote:

I doubt its one of the belt holders next but you never know. Somebody like Poonsawat, Concepcion, Kiko Martinez? Then I suspect at some point, two-three fights, they'd think Izzy was ripe for the taking.
It's been a while since I watched a Thai warrior in action. I don't mind seeing one against Juanma.Quote:

Check this , to me Juanma really want to make all unificatory fights that he can for then to move up to LW Div...............;D
Is more money in that Div. ? Of course
That is what i think that he really want to do.............:-\
Juanma vs Pacquiao in the future , What do you think ?
Probably im thinking very advance , but that could happen.............right?

Young, big, strong, and awkward, Filipino super bantamweight Bernabe Concepcion might be the first challenger of newly crowned WBO champion Juan Manuel Lopez.
Having seen Concepcion against Torrence Daniels (video below) earlier this year, Bernabe reminded me of a young and wreckless Manny Pacquiao. His skills are far from polished, but raw ability and natural strength can go a long way in boxing.
Concepcion, now managed by Pacquiao and being brought to the United States to work with trainer Freddie Roach, has been mentioned by Bob Arum (promoter to Lopez and Concepcion) as Lopez's opponent for the first defense of his crown.
Mexico vs. the Philippines has produced some nice boxing drama. Is Puerto Rico vs. Philippines the next in hot boxing feuds?

All of a sudden there are a whole bunch of fantastic potential fights at super bantam. Juanma in with any of the champions or Marquez is a fight I want to see. After Mayweather retiring guys like Juanma, Pavlik etc. give me hope for the future of boxing.
well, dpdl has always been a limited fighter and he got caught and i'm not about to completely jump on juanma's bandwagon yet. i need to see some more of him in a longer bout against another top-tiered fighter before i can say totally that he's the real deal.
the fight with b.concepcion would be a very good gauge for juanma. i ain't completly sold on him yet.
De Leon never really impressed me. His knockout of Bautista was good but I always thought he was beatable. He throws WAY TOO wide shots and eventually would be caught by someone who threw shorter punches. Case in point, Juan Manuel Lopez.
Food for thought...

There's a big chance that JuanMa will face Concepcion next provided that Concepcion will have an impressive victory on his July 26 scheduled fight underneath Cotto-Margarito.
Both JuanMa and Concepcion are TopRank/Arum boxers so negotiations will be a lot easier. I think JuanMa should have his 1st title defense against a good ranked prospect. Concepcion is WBO's no. 7 ranked super bantam.
JuanMa already has an August 30 date for his next fight and Concepcion might be his opponent...

Celebrated trainer Freddie Roach has ruled out a title fight in the near future for North American Boxing Federation champion Bernabe Concepcion against newly crowned WBO super bantamweight sensation Juan Manuel Lopez . Read more...
ROACH RULES OUT CONCEPCION-LOPEZ TITLE FIGHT JUST YET
I was about to post that, that Roach thought Concepcion needed a bit more experience.
On another site Lopez is calling out Vazquez
Freddy Roach is a smart man, Concepcion is way less proven then Lopez.
