Juanma retires

[walrus]

That's for the best but I'm betting he makes at least 1 comeback

I was thinking the same, he is 31, still has time left.

...I was thinking more about "he'll need the income"

[Silkeyjoe]

yea KO loss there was brutal. Hed could have an easy fight or 2 in Puerto Rico but hes finished.

[Spicoli]

Very wise move. Hope he doesn't get sucked back in

Yeah I got that. I was trying to recall what kind of cash he made during his career. He made no mention of his plans for the future.

Hope we don't see him in the ring again.
Watching him collapse on his face was not enjoyable to me, at all.

[Manos de Piedra]

Good decision. He was done after Salido beat him.

[p4pking]

I don't know that the Salido fights ruined him, as much as they just highlighted the fact that he was a guy who only knew how to fight that way. Obviously losing a war will usually take a lot out of a guy, but he never actually showed that he could adapt or defend himself under pressure beforehand. Mtagwa(who was a journeyman) and an ancient, undersized Rafael Marquez, hit him with all sorts of shit and took him right to the brink before he met Salido. I think Mikey Garcia would have done the same to him whether he was a little fresher or not, and perhaps the same is even true for his last two opponents, who both look promising. Again, that's not to say he isn't totally worn out now, I'm just not sure he wasn't always quite beatable.

Maybe someone on here has seen some of his earlier fights to have a better idea of whether he really declined all that quickly or just happened to fight the right guys that couldn't drag him into deep water Either way, dude needs to stay away from the ring.

[Vendettos]

In fairness a lot of his tougher fight came after his first loss.

Would have like to see him win his last fight.

Ponce De Leon getting caught in the rematch scored Juanma some more paydays but also some more serious beatings.
