Cabs opponents total win/losses - 534/67
Juanma's opponents total win/ losses - 178/127
Alright, with those two facts on the table, let me just say right now that I love the styles of both fighters. I am more of a Lopez fan, because I'm awed by his power and fighting style. Moving on, I also a serious realist when it comes to putting money on a fight. Before I do that, I look at all angles. All angles, from how easy a guy will cut, to ring experience, to where each guy grew up, (softer childhood means later in the fight they just might ***** up and quit etc) and as far as I can see, this fight at the moment would be outright foolish for Lopez to take.
Lopez shouldn't fight Cab yet. I have high hopes for Lopez...I don't want him to get a bull**** loss against a technical veteran like Cab when he isn't ready for him. Cab has boxed twice the amount of rounds, he has 205 or something and Lopez only has 98. Cab has also been boxing much longer, having made his pro debut in '98, he an 11 year veteran. Lopez only started back in 05. Lopez fights alot more, averaging 6 fights per year with 2005 his debut year having 8 fights. Compare the first part of this post, their opponent's records, and you will truly see that the veteran has the experience advantage over Juanma. It is too early for Juanma to take such a fight. If you are a true Juanma fan and want him to do well on the world level, you will agree with me. This is almost a case of 'The Great White Hype' where that guy beat the current champ ten years ago in the amateurs, then came back pro and his first fight was against teh champ, and he got ktfo, lol.
Compare that to Cab, who fought twice in his debut year, and averages 3-4 fights annually.
I guarantee these numbers are kosher. I may be off by 2-3 on each side but that really is irrelevant considering the sheer volume of wins Cab's opponents have had, offsetting whatever Juanma has done. A betting man cannot ignore that. If there were to fight today, all the smart money would be on Celestino.
