How did he get exposed? Everyone in the free world knows that De Leon can't box for shit but that his superhuman power has taken him a long way...... He will continue to be relevant because of his power.

What writers? The Ring always makes fun of his lack of skills. "If you want murderous punches? DPDL Do you want a great boxer? Did we mention he can punch? It was something to that effect.

Re: Deleon exposed!
Come on rene....
I mean really the media was riding his nuts?
He was the Superstar coming into the fight.
Who should the media 'sell' the fight on JuanMa?
What people always forget is that aside from this being a sport it's a business. The business side is always over looked or just pushed aside.
The media talked about PDL cause he was the name to sell the fight.
Funny that you say the media was riding PDL nuts cause in another thread an actual "JuanMa fan" said the media was allover JuanMa...
Go figure...
EVERYONE knows that DPDL is one of the least skilled guys. So exposed to who? To the people who don't follow boxing?
If you think Escobedo did that then you must have missed the Caballero & the 2nd Gerry fight for that...
This fight has catapulted JuanMa to another level he did something that Caballero, Gerry or Bautista couldn't do. All who argueably pack a punch.
Truth is I am VERY impressed with JuanMas power that is what impressed me the most. DPLD has tooken shots from World Class fighters to the chin and has never been stopped yet JuanMa did it and didn't even break a sweat.
The only exposure in this fight was JuanMas exposure to the Boxing World.

Let's not let this take away from the credit due Juanma, folks. The kid came in as the heavy underdog and impressively put away a very dangerous champion with a record to match.

Re: Deleon exposed!
No I give credit where credit is due because DPDL is a very dangerous fighter. I think I predicted a De Leon 3rd round KO. But to suggest he wasn't seriously flawed is just foolish.
Maybe at Eastside they claim he is a good boxer. But I don't read stuff like that.

Re: Deleon exposed!
I agree with Boozeboxer, most people who know anything about boxing when discussing Ponce De Leon would all pretty much comment on his lack of style and skillset that was made up for with power.
You're kidding right? Many of the writers were riding his nuts before this fight like he was JAke Lamotta or something.
As for writers being on his nut's? Well some of those guys will praise anyone who has a winning streak and knockouts, Not all but some. So you can't go by a few articles
