Juanma retires

[ykdadamaja]

Anybody else hear this, apparently he says he has taken enough beatings and wants to preserve his health for his kids. The bottom did drop out for him recently.

He was done after the Salido beatings. If he couldn't beat Salido, then there really wasn't very much for him to do at that weight- or at any other weight above.

I hope he made enough money to get out, the guy is done! He could and perhaps already has gotten seriously hurt, reacts terribly to shots now, he has no time left at all. Even before he fought Salido he took wicked punishment, anyone who hasn't seen the Mtagwa fight watch that one, total life and death over the last rounds.

He isn't the type of fighter who could ever come back stronger from any defeat I don't think, not to slight him but he was such a physical fighter and only knows how to trade. All the beatings he's taken have clearly affected him already, and to now have had two bad ones in two months is ridiculous. If he fights anyone remotely good ever again he's an idiot, and some people should be ashamed of themselves.

Good decision he is finished as a fighter,good luck to him.

As a big Juanma fan I'm glad to hear it. He's at the point now where he's getting blown out in early rounds. Those Salido fights really killed him, not just knockouts but fights with lots of punches eaten, knockdowns, ect. BEst of luck to him.
