It seems the opponent for WBO super bantamweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez (25-0, 23KOs)�is set. He will face undefeated Canadian fighter Olivier Lontchi (18-0, 8KOs) on June 27 at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Lopez-Lontchi replaces Pavlik-Mora as the headline bout of Top Rank's pay-per-view card.

Lontchi was presented with an offer and accepted the fight with little hesitation. This will be his first fight outside of Canada. Judging by his record, he doesn't seem to have much power and he fought to a draw with 18-5 Eduardo Garcia last August. In other words it might be a short night of work for Juanma.

Will watch this but only cos I have already subscribed to Sky and Setanta (whichever one will I show). Would never pay 40$ for this, but will watch just to see juanma again. Wouldnt want Dunne near this guy, especially only with a month notice. Hopefully Dunne gets Munroe or Poonswat next!

Hey idiots, this wasnt suppose to be his next fight he was called apon to replace pavlik. Hes just fillin in to save top ranks ppv. Relax he'll ko vazquez or marquez later.

if juanma can't get vazquez or marquez then he should move up to 126 and get the winner of gamboa/celestino. wasting his time at 122

**** that, damn juanma should just do a Medina Rematch if he wants another easy fight... oh or another fight w/ cesar figueroa... what a joke. Its gonna be another Cotto/Jennings mismatch. They should just make the Lopez/Lontchi fight for the Lineal super bantamweight title while there at it.

[QUOTE=chicano79us;5286981]JuanMa has a chance to be great and all and he's fighting a tomato can? At least give Ponce a rematch and knock his ass out again, better than this guy. Does Poonsawa or however you say his name busy?? Cordoba?? LOL @ the PR nuthuggers that think Vazquez/Marquez don...
