"Juanma" Lopez takes out Figueroa in 47 seconds (Video)

[TitoFan]

That left-right combination was a thing of beauty.

No doubt his foreal but he wont beat israel or rafa, those two are just in another level. way above the level juanma has seen.

I suspect we'll find out soon enough. It seems inevitable that they'll meet in the ring. While I don't subscribe to the "Juanma vs Pacquiao at 135" madness from another post, I do think everyone at 122 should be plenty worried about Juanma right about now. I see Juanma squaring off against either Israel or Rafa (or both) sometime in early to mid 2009.

I would love to see it, I like juanma but i really can't see him beating israel or rafa.

Both take a lot of punches. Juanma has demonstrated one-punch KO power. PLUS... he's a southpaw that can box. Sorry, but I don't see it quite as clear-cut. I'd like to see Juanma go more than one round in his next fight, though.

Doesn't take long for people to start overrating the puncher does it?

Let Juanma get rid of Rafael Marquez in the first round, then maybe we can start saying he would take out Vasquez.

And people whom have seen him fight before, Ponce De Leon is his best opponent to date

He hasnt fought anyone close to the caliber of marquez or vasquez.

Don't overrate the kid because he punches hard.

I'd like to see him mix it up with Marquez first then we can start putting him up there. How about a fight between him and Jhonny Gonzalez.

Lets don't act like were talking about Miranda or something. The kid has skills, he can box and punch.

he's no Miranda, but tell me ONE person on Lopez's record that is on the same level as R. Marquez or Vazquez, like i said let him fight Gonzalez, or hell i think even a fight between him and Robert Guerrero would be good

[OumaFan]

Of course he hasn't fought anyone on Vazquez or Marquez' level, not really talking about Marquez or Vazquez (although I wouldn't count him out, especially since do we really know how many tough fights either of those guys have left in them? ) was just talking about this assumption that he's overrated just cause he's a "puncher", he has some silky skills especially offensively.

Jhonny Gonzalez is a dangerous fight for anybody, he doesn't usually hold up but I wouldn't count him out as far as him getting to Juanma

[OumaFan]

Robert Guerrero has moved up to 130.

Juan Manuel is nowhere near Marquez or Vasquez's level. His biggest win was a guy who he got a gift against Escobedo.

It's almost like saying Breidis Prescott would beat Manny Pac or Nate Campbell just because he can punch.

[OumaFan]

Prescotts just another guy. He can punch, that's about it.

Lopez has great natural ability, has skills and can punch, if people aren't sold on him yet fine, but he's on another level from guys like Prescott.

[Spicoli]

One to watch.Extremely promising future and he really shows great timing with accuracy.Thanks for the vid.

He is the real deal Lee trust me i've been following him for awhile, he can box and punch. Prescott is just a limited banger and that showed in his fight before the Khan fight.

He has nowhere near the ability of JML, and someone mentioned Miranda in this thread. Are you kidding me ? Miranda has never ever looked good when he stepped up in competition against Green, Eastman, he was wobbled and KD in these fights.

[rjj tszyu]

Two words: FUCKING AWESOME!

[XaduBoxer]

JuanMa IS the best in the division. He will beat Vasquez and Marquez if they met. Not because he is the greatest just because he is fast, can bang, has skills, no suspect chin, is young,and is ready for the top guys. Either fight will be extremely fun and entertaining to watch.

After Caballero beats Molitor this coming November, Caballero can claim he's the best in the super bantam division... He will have 2 belts...

After the Molitor fight, hope Izzy, Rafa or JuanMa will not avoid Caballero...

[CutMeMick]

Very similar to Pacs KO shot over Diaz, except Pac came from a left hook while JuanMas came from a right hook.

But the punches landed identically in the same.

[Kirkland Laing]

He definitely looks a bit special. Plus that power too! He's got the power to take anybody out in his class and it looks like he's got the skills too.

[killersheep]

Very impressed with JuanMa, I don't see much else he could before taking on the elite at his weight class, so let it happen.
