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
