[Tam Seddon]

awesome! good luck to De Leon and I hope this year he can get some good wins in and this will add to it. Hes a powerhouse and this is a real test for him.

[Rican]

Forget Ponce-good luck to my boy "Juanma." I think he will expose Ponce's lack of defense with power shots one after the other. Juanma also has the power to KO Ponce. Those wide punches Ponce throws will miss all night long!! Watch!! This will be Juanma's coming out party.

I'm rooting for Lopez "Juanma" he is very much up there in the Power dept with Ponce de Leon and he box very good as well.

I was really looking forward for this fight. I like my boys to be tested with the best out there.

ANd you know what since this is in the Summer I will do my best to go there and watch this fight live

Great match-up here!!! I to believe it will be Lopez' coming out party. Although it is a big step up I believe he has the talent & ability to win big. Maybe not a stoppage but a clear victory.

I just read in a local newspaper that Daniel Ponce de Leon (34-1, 30 KO)will be defending his title against young Puerto Rican prospect Juan Manuel Lopez (21-0, 19 KO) on Jun 07 on HBO.

I have my heart with Juan Manuel, but I have to admit that this will be a tough night for him. However, no matter the result I believe that this fight promises to give us a great night for boxing. Both are great punchers although, DPL has the experience advantage and this is what I see as the biggest disadvantage for Lopez. Lopez has be pacient and avoid crazy exchanges with DPL waiting to counter punch, and avoid the mistakes that Bautista made. If Lopez catch him with a good short right hook, it may be all over for DPL. But, definitely a tough fight for Lopez. I was hoping that Lopez made 2 or 3 fights more before this one, but I will be ready for the action expecting for the big punch.

This could be the breakout fight that Lopez needs but he still has some grooming to do.Patience will be The key factor,Could get overwhelmed in the spot light and be very tempted to jump on Deleon who at times can look very vulnerable and easy to tag,but Deleon can hurt most any one he connects on.But I think Lopez will keep his head about him.Has to resist careless premature exchanges.Nice semi cross roads fight(?)

[Puerto Rican Punch]

Not getting desperate and effective counter punching is the key for victory I see for Lopez. He has a beautiful, strong, almost invisible right hook that I believe can make a lot of damage to De Leon, if he fights smartly. Lopez will need to show that he has grown up very fast and not fall with the pressure.

i think if de leon dances around to his left then he would of has the fight sealed, Ponce cant fight moving sideways

That's true. Lopez has so many weapons. He has the all-around skills-anyone can see that if they really watch. The only question in my mind is how he will handle the pressure/stage. That is the only question that needs to be answered in my book.

Hey Rican , in that fight going be the test of how he realy handle the pressure/stage in different angles like you said .......Im sure about that , PDL is a kind of boxer that going allow us to see all Lopez flaw and fail......surely......

Saludos desde la Isla! I agree Lopez has the skills and power to give the surprise, and how he will manage the pressure will be the big question. I was expecting Juanma's team to make 2 or 3 more fights before this one. But, now that it is coming, I am hoping that he does not fall to the pressure and maintain his focus and remain calm, counter punching D Leon. Then, put the pressure if he can hurt.

De Leon has the power advantage over Lopez as well

Completely agree here VD.

How do you figure? Lopez has KO'd 19 of 21. Ponce may be known for KO's stylistically, and I would probably give him the edge because of this, but Ponce should not be underestimating Juanma's power.

Rican you gotta understant something here JuanMas power has been tested against D to C class fighters. So yes he does have good power so far the numbers don't lie. But now look at PDL his powers been tested at World Class level. Once I see JuanMa beat a World Class opponent by KO/TKO then I can rate him highly.

Take Roman Gonzalez for example 16 ko's in 18 fights. Sure the kids got power and all but I wouldn't say hes a harder puncher then Ulises Solis who's powers been tested at World Class.

De Leon has the power advantage over Lopez as well

Cmon Demise , i know Ponce have power , but think that Juanma have power too , don't mistake about him my friend , i saw that Ponce have poor defensive ,this might be his weakness too....

Pana como lo explique con Rican. La fuerza de PDL ha sido contra oponentes de livel Mundial. La fuerza de JuanMa hast ahorita he sido contra oponentes de un bajo nivel. Cuando empieze JuanMa ha pelear contra oponentes de un nivel alto y sigua noqueandolos entonces si se va a poder decir que tiene un gran pegada.

Careful, if De Leon summons the spirit of his grandfather he's gonna KTFO of Lopez.

That's what the feather he wears is for.
