gerry was still game can still throw power punches spot on and was pacing himself alternating offensive and defensive rounds. but gerry gave it all juanma just stood there gerry was taking more than giving wear so its just right for roach to stop the fight.
juanma was also giving it all and im pretty sure thats what exactly he expecting from gerry a very tough fighter. but i still think gerry has a max of two more LIGHT fights before he can call it quits. juanma on the other hand based on this fight will not last against a fighter the same as gerry but younger and the same size as juanma.
hay.....
Props to Penalosa: He's a great fighter, great stamina, great heart, great chin.
Props also to Freddy Roach: He is simply a great trainer and a greater person. I love this guy.
As for the quoted comment of "Juanma won't last" that's BS. Juanma got caught with some shots, but that's what happens when you fight a guy the caliber of Penalosa. Also, Juanma showed great stamina. I mean, he barely slowed down at all and what's more impressive is that he kept a high work rate while throwing power punches. That was impressive. Juanma stood in there well against Penalosa and against others with less defense and slower hands (aka Vazquez), the beating will be more severe.
