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
Good post...
CC# for taking the time to post something like that it takes resarch....


But I must say that if you do the same for Fernando Montiel & Martin Castillo the same format applies.
