So What's Next For Juanma?

[:::PSL:::]

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?

[Dark Lord Al]

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.

[Macho]

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 ...........

[hitmanhatton]

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

[brucelee]

he should fight vasquez.

[XaduBoxer]

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...

.

[SE7EN]

He should fight Concepcion.

[Pavlik]

He should fight Concepcion.

Kamusta Pre!!! Not yet Bro, totally different level on skill and power.

Let Izzy, Rafa, and Caballero softens him up first maybe? (imo, all winnable fights by Juanma)

Hehe

[p4pking]

I just wonder who the hell is going to want to fight this kid now Talk about a bad risk/reward fight.. He looked sensational last night, just in a completely different stratosphere than De leon.

[amat]

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.

[Pavlik]

He should fight Concepcion.

Hehe

Maybe this Kid just might be the one to clean the division. He seems very personable too.

[OumaFan]

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.

Im completetly agree Pavlik , i had been saying this , but now i see that somebody is saying the samething..............

Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Bernabe Concepcion NextWatch Concepcion In Action

Ricardo Lois

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?
