Yes and if you notice that's when most of his KO/TKOs took place.
But also when you start off as a pro your trying out your weight your still not sure how it's gonna go. He fought above 140 so I mean they were just tryinig out to see how it wen't. Maybe at that time he was still too young and couldn't fill out 140 all that well.

If you've been following his career you'll notice hes vastly improved well over the course of time. His defense was by far the best I've seen it and his offense just went over the top man... The way he was putting punches together with 5, 6, 7 punch combinations I mean that will just overwhelm someone.

I took the time to do something here since a "big emphasis" is being put on these decisions Juan has.

Let's look at his opponents hes had since becoming a champion. (KO/TKO & RTD are the same IMO)
Sim UD 12 - 4 loses never been KO'd
Lorcy UD 12 -4 loses never been KO'd
Irwin TKO 9 - 6 loses 1 by KO (Juan)
Cruz TKO 5 - 16 loses 6 by KO
Cotto UD 12 - 1 loss never been KO'd
Suico TKO 9 - 3 loses 1 by KO (Juan)
Angulo UD 12 - 4 loses 1 by KO
Freitas TKO 8 - 2 loses 2 by KO
Diaz TKO 9 - 4 loses 3 by KO


3 of those fighters have never been stoped, 2 of them have loses but Juan is their only TKO loss. I personally think people are looking too much into his power punching here.
