Manny and Jorge look very stoned in that picture.

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've only seen Juanma maybe a total of less then three minutes. Saw his fight with ponce de leon a fight he had on TV and another he had on PPV where it looked like the guy just wanted out after the first punch.

So I can't say much about him other then im pretty sure he hits hard. Penalosa I havent seen any of, or I may have but don't remember. I really don't know who to pick, havent seen a lot of either guy. Anyone have any clips of Penalosa?

Here's some Peñalosa clips from Youtube but video quality is quite poor...

Two fights ago against former WBO bantamweight champ, Thailand's Sor Vorapin:

Three fights ago, Peñalosa knocking out the then reigning WBO bantam champion, Jhonny Gonzalez with a body punch:

Hope you enjoy the clips...

Why not put the first 6 rounds and see how Penalosa gets outclassed by Jhonny Gonzalez?

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

Good card indeed and I think this is promoted in cooperation with Bob Arum's Top Rank Promotions...

Lamont Peterson vs. Willy Blain for the interim WBO light welterweight title as one of the undercards...

Wuffffff... tsk! tsk! Tough fight for Gerry.

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

not at all really, Penalosa is more than a game opponent, i think Jhonny would give Lopez all he can handle and possibly beat Lopez, so don't see how Lopez not beating much less not stopping Penalosa would make him overrated

Except for experience Lopez has pretty much everry advatage on his side. It's the case of young taking out old. This fight will like Rafael Marquez-Mark Johnson 2. Or Jorge Arce-Rosendo Alvarez. Lopez not stopping him would show he might not be the fighter people think he is.

I'm just wondering what would you label JuanMa if he gets KO'ed by Peñalosa... Overrated bum??
