Peter Rivera of Puerto Rico Best Boxing has a few potential bouts that he wants to come together. Based on the circumstances, they may. Rivera says that WBO super bantamweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez will return on HBO on April 4. Lopez's co-promoter Top Rank is trying to get Gerry Penalosa as the opponent. Penalosa is the WBO bantamweight champion.

Eric Morel is the mandatory challenger to Penalosa's title. The purse bid was recently postponed by the WBO. If Penalosa takes the fight with Juanma, he will get stripped of his title. Recently WBO super flyweight champ Fernando Montiel made it known that he is unable to make weight for a proposed March fight with Nonito Donaire. Montiel plans to move up to bantamweight. Rivera says that Montiel and Morel would likely battle for the vacant title that Penalosa would leave behind.

"Penalosa is the first choice to fight Juanma, and if Penalosa decides to that, Morel would have to fight another opponent. Penalosa, as champion, would get the first ranking position upon moving up to 122-pounds. An Fernando Montiel, who is going to move up to 118-pounds and is the champion of 115, would also get place in the highest ranking position and Morel would have to fight with him," Rivera told El Nuevo Dia.�
