EVEN THOUGH he lost to Vazquez (in a barn-burner where he scored 2 knockdowns and was ahead on the cards)
His previous 3 fights were against well-respected and dangerous fighters
10/29/05 vs Ratanachai Sor Vorapin - Jhonny was the underdog, but just schooled him and got a 7th round TKO
2/25/06 vs. Mark "too sharp" Johnson - Jhonny picked apart the slick Johnson and finally pummeling him into retirement in the 8th round
9/16/06 vs. Fernando Montiel - Jhonny was involved in a chess match with Fernando (who I also consider to be a great boxer) and eventually took a split decision
Upcoming fights
He is taking a quick tune-up fight in February
on 2/9/07 against Alex Baba
and on 3/17/07 will be defending the WBO title that he still holds against Gerry Penalosa
still riding Vic D's coattails.....what's with all this talk about angry jockeys anyway?...
It feels good to be back home.
