Joel Julio won yesterday.

[El Gamo]

Julio has dangerous power and determination, but he was mildly exposed by Quintana which is a good thing that he didnt become damaged goods by getting destroyed... So he falls back a bit gets some more experience and some skill sharpening and hopefully we shall see him pretty soon in another good fight, Maybe Luis Colazzo?

Collazo? Another slick southpaw so soon? I don't think that would be a good choice especially as it does not appear Joel has learnt from his loss.

i want to see him and cotto go at it how bout it amean i got cotto killin him but it shoud be intrestin for 2 3 rounds

Naaaa,Cotto has bigger fish to fry.

He did good against "Davis" but he still got hit consistantly by every straight that davis threw, not good.

Interesting. Have yet to see it....

Personally I think Joel Julio sucks ass, never rated him, never will.

I know El Gamo used to think he was the 'Truth' but personally I always saw him as one dimensional.

LMFAO,look through Bil''s past posts and realise that this man sucks balls with his predictions!!

He's not that bad. The constant jab and slickness of Quintana got to him in their fight, it disrupted his timing and after a while he just threw one punch at a time and loaded up on everything.

He's still a good fighter with a powerful right hand, a good short puncher. I wish he had more of a jab. When he leads with the right he really reaches with it, and he tends to drop his hands afterwards. He's always had good balance, he's always had a fairly good defense and good instincts. I just think Quintana was a nightmare style matchup for him. A patient puncher who relies on timing facing a guy who was constantly putting a jab in his face.

He'll be fine. He's only 24 now I do believe. Like someone said earlier he has about a good of a corner as a young boxer can have. I would love to see him face Kermit, that would be exciting.

I really like how you always look at positives in a fighter,it's different,nice.I too think Joel will get better and I'd love to see him fight Cintron. I also like his short crisp punches,and he DEFINITELY needs a jab. Nice analysis. I was slightly worried by his performance v Cosme Rivera,Rivera is no more than a gatekeeper but he had Julio in trouble a couple of times. Sometimes,Julio waits for his opponent too long,and his lack of jab means he just rushes in,leaving himself open to counters.Nice analysis though Amat,I think the 24 hours must almost be up for your next well deserved CC.

His power is overrated but he has a great ability to place his punches an pick guys apart, he will win a belt down the line imo

I don't think his power is over rated,even though he lost to Quintana,he DID drop him early on with a short crisp punch.And it was just the one punch I believe! That's good power.

Yeah hes only 22, he doesnt have a jab at all. He does throw some nice combinations tho..I watch the FNF last night and he looked solid. He was a bit of a headhunter, I didnt like that seeing as the body was wide open all night. That just shows hes not the brightest when it comes to stradegy. I wasnt impressed with his power, but he did pressure alot and had a high punch output.I can see him winning some fights against the top guys.

Yeah,I agree,I think he may be falling in love with his oWN power a bit too much although you would have thought his loss to Quintana would have made him work harder~? He does do alot of things well though which is why I could not just look past this guy like some have (inclusing his fans...BILBO!)
