Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Rey Bautista

[Puerto Rican Punch]

That is a good point. I didn't think about how close the fights are... but still he will have 2 months between them. I guess Juanma's team should evaluate this possibility depending on how hard his October 4 fight results. I think they really want to be exposed during De La Hoya - Manny show, and I don't blame them, this certainly is a great opportunity for Juanma's career is he wins both fights.

ye your right it will get him the exposure he needs and deserves, maybe thats why his fight was moved off the pvalik/hopkins card to the 4th so he had that extra two weeks recovery ?

Bautista must be in a hurry to get ko'd again. I'll give him credit though, it takes guts to get in the ring with someone like Lopez after what happened in the DeLeon fight.

Nice matchup. Smart moneys with JuanMa by TKO.

Talking about fighting the boxer knocked out in the first round by the boxer you knocked out in the first round...

Good choice of opponent for JuanMa...

Bautista just wasn't ready for the big time, he is still very raw and imo, never really impressive. Never seems comfortable in the ring, spaces his punches horribly he does that stupid step back before every forward step it confuses him more then his opponent I think. Plus his defense is leaky, I imagine he would get KO'd fairly early in that one, JML is on the verge of P4P rankings I think.
