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.
