It think Penalosa will be tough all the way but I think Lopez will get him late!
The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
IMO, JuanMa will commit some mistakes due to his inexperience and due to the mounting pressure to look very good against the aging veteran... the pressure to KO Gerry and the pressure to perform well infront of his countrymen will push JuanMa to make some mistakes...
Mistakes that Peñalosa will surely capitalize...

Peñalosa: "JuanMa will go down..."
WBO bantamweight king and now super bantamweight challenger Gerry Peñalosa said he will give Juan Manuel “JuanMa” Lopez his first taste of defeat when they clash on April 25.
Peñalosa said he is so confident of his chances against Lopez, the reigning WBO super bantamweight champion, that he wanted to fight JuanMa right away.
"I can fight tomorrow if necessary. So I feel good for what will be the most important fight of my career,” said the Filipino boxer in a report by Puerto Rican news daily El Nuevo Dia.
The 25-year-old Lopez remains unbeaten in 24 fights. Twenty-two of those fights were won by knock out.
Peñalosa, on the other hand, is a veteran of 62 fights. He won 54 of those matches and lost six times in his 20-year boxing career.
The two boxers will meet up at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez, Bayamon in Lopez’s home country Puerto Rico.
The 36-year-old Peñalosa said he is excited to show off the results of his training with coach Freddie Roach.
“Freddie is a demanding trainer and well disciplined. During the morning, he works with me with my preparation for the fight, and in the evening he works with Manny Pacquiao. That has worked very well so far and he will be in my corner. I feel confident that I can beat Lopez," he said.
Team Peñalosa arrived in Puerto Rico ...
They brought bombs inside that attache case...
