i was actually disappointed with the Juanma fight, i mean honestly i like the kid and hope he does well, but since winning the title he's been protected big time in his last two fights, neither fighter all that hurt and both do a Bruce Seldon and act like they were just given the beating of their lives, he needs an actual test, and im not bitching about another 1st round knockout, i just want to see it against a decent level of competition, the following are all good options
Jhonny Gonzalez
Israel Vazquez
Rafael Marquez
Celestino Caballero
Bernabe Concepcion
or even comin up to fight him
Gerry Penalosa
Silence Mabuza
Abner Mares
or even fellow Puerto Rican
Eric Morel
In my euphoria over De La Hoya getting his *ss kicked, I've almost forgotten about our very own Puerto Rican sensation... Juan Manuel Lopez.
Way to go, JuanMa!!!
Jhonny Gonzalez - even match
Israel Vazquez - very dangerous
Rafael Marquez - very dangerous
Celestino Caballero - even match
Bernabe Concepcion - live underdog
or even comin up to fight him
Gerry Penalosa - live underdog
Silence Mabuza - ??
Abner Mares - ??
or even fellow Puerto Rican
Eric Morel - live underdog
i prefer he should face penalosa(tough veteran and slick SOB) before all those real 122 bad a**es

Next fight out he better fight some quality opposition. This is his second fight against someone who shouldn't even be on the televised portion of the undercard, let alone fighting for a world title. I mean, come on, these guys aren't even mandatories.
I like how JuanMa shrugs his shoulders and says things like I wanted to put on a good show, and yet hes fighting opponents who aren't capable of doing that. These are the type of fights you take when you are a prospect trying to make a name for yourself, not once you hold the title.
And thats not to say that I don't think he is talented because I do, which is another reason I don't want to see fights like this. Can't wait to see him against Vasquez though, should be a great one.
We have a saying in Puerto Rico, which roughly translates as follows: "Once you've seen the dog's balls, it's easy to say he's a male."
I agree that this Argentine had no business in the ring. But Cesar Figueroa was touted higher than that, and had the record to prove it. I think he had even given Ponce de Leon a pretty good fight.
So it's easy to come back after the fact and say that Juanma is facing bums, but remember who the first "bum" actually was... the defending champion. Also remember that Juanma himself doesn't choose his opponents.
That being said, I can't wait to see him eventually and inevitably dethrone and destroy Israel Vazquez.
Lets not forget Juan Manuel Lopez!
what was up with Medina? Damn he was scared shitless getting hit by JuanmaMedina nearly knock bautista out, I thought he was a lot better then what he showed last night.
These short fights aren't good for Juan though, he needs more rounds. Im beginning to lean towards him against the elite(rafa,izzy) but not quite there yet.
I like the way Juan lifts his shoulder as if to say its not my fault he was shit scared of me![]()
I haven't seen a fighter hit that hard at the smaller weightclasses, since Wilfredo Gomez people may think im going way overboard. But i see really something special in JML. I honestly think he will be the next Wilfredo Gomez.

i think juanma will be a great fighter but i wouldnt say he will be the next so and so. i dont want to jyxs him.
Juanma, looked good, that's for sure, but Medina appeared to be only there for the paycheck. On his second knockdown, I don't even think he got hit with anything solid, and just went down out of fear. I'll have to watch it again, but I don't think he really got hit.
I hope that they start putting some tougher competition in front of Juanma, it's time to test him a little harder.
From what I've been reading, I have a feeling that they are trying to set him up against Vazquez for sometime in 2009. The got together this weekend, and they both showed an interest in fighting each other. That would be a great fight, but I would like to see Juanma get in one tough fight before that happens.

yeah this kid is awsome!!
anyone see a super fight with Gamboa happening in the future...
hell yeah my boy at it again. i already posted on the other JuanMa thread about what happened tonight so i wont repeat myself again. but next fight needs to be a top-guy or at least a known tough-tested opponent.
