Definitely they're both stoned... Both rocked each other after 4 rounds of intense sparring... This is what PAC needed, quality hard sparring from top tough champions... I'm wondering who Hatton is sparring with??

"Penaloser" is moving up in weight and the power advantage goes to Lopez, even if Gerry wasn't. Couple that with Lopez's superior boxing ability means that Penalosa will get KO'd like he never has before. Lopez is very, very hungry over here in P.R..

Don't underestimate Penalosa mate, he has fought in power deficits for the greater part of his career. It's his ability to make someone's own power work against him that have kept him so well in the twilight of his career. I still back Lopez to win, but this one's going rounds. Furthermore, a Penalosa win wouldn't shock me. Indeed if JML does take out Penalosa early it will be an amazing feat and he will get full props from me. I hope JML packed a lunch cause he's gonna be out there for a while.

Definitely power goes to JuanMa but superior boxing ability goes to the 36 year old Peñalosa. With 62 pro fights and twenty (yes 20!!) years of boxing, I consider Fearless Peñalosa as a master boxer already. JuanMa was only a 6 year old kid when Gerry started in professional boxing!!

Gerry will find ways to topple the 25 year old and bit raw JuanMa...

i'm 100% Puerto Rican and was raised and still live on the island and i know for a damn fact that this is not gonna be an easy fight for Lopez, IMO even though not by much, but Penalosa is the better technical boxer, and he's already gone upand did very well, only losing a controversial decision to Ponce De Leon, and many, myself included thought he won, Lopez definately has the power advantage, but Penalosa has good defensive skills, i'd say that Gonzalez is pretty much even with Lopez or if anything barely a little bit less in power, and Penalosa took his punches just fine, Penalosa CAN beat Lopez, and honestly this fight is about 55/45 for Lopez, if he's not in the best shape of his career which i'm sure he probably is in, he can end up disapointed come fight night, only thing is i heard a comment from Juanma that was a bit worrysome, sounds like he might be put on the undercard of the Cotto fight (which will most likely be against Clottey) at MSG in June, if he's thinking that far ahead might be he's overlooking Penalosa which would be a big mistake.

also read that Lamont Peterson is gonna be on the undercard of the Lopez/Penalosa fight fighting a Willy Blain, so i think i'm gonna be goin to Bayamon to be seeing this one live

Yes he will be. I'm counting on it. Anything less than a knock out would show Lopez might be a little overrated.
