Penalosa may be a crafty veteran, but I believe Lopez will find a way to get the job done. The question is, how will it look for Lopez if he goes 12 rounds? Many doubt his abilities already and I think that stopping Penalosa will be what he needs to possibly get the big money fights and the attention of more boxing fans. I just hope that he does it smartly and not like a wildman. He has never given me an indication that he lets the crowd affect his performance. And Juanma is a motivated fighter and personable like Tito. He will find a way.
IMO it goes the 12 rounds, but it would still be a very good accomplishment for Lopez
The way I see it, Juanma will capture more a lot of people's respect if he beats Penalosa by a convincing decision or late round KO than knocking out him out in early rounds.

Gerry will test Juanma's boxing ability that's for sure.


That is what boxing is Kila , i understand what you mean here bro..., but IMO you come up to the ring to demonstrate what you got and finish your opponents , this depend how Penalosa impose his strategy , if he try to be slippery , who know.....................
The queston is if Penalosa can asimilate Juanmas power during the fight , if he wants to go until the limite..................
