I find it funny that people keep putting him as a De Leon, Valero type of fighter.
They seem to be judging him based on his record and not seen his boxing skills and workrate hes had in his last fight.
i would love to see izzy vasquez and lopez. izzy beats him in a hard fought war. maybe stops him late. too much heart and experience.
izzy's got his number, mark my words
Lopez is what he is. I don't view the guy as hype. I think he is more untested than what people make him out to be however. We know he has the goods ability wise, but can that chin take a punch. Tommy Hearns probably would've been the greatest of all time with a better chin. The only time we saw Lopez in with a big puncher was against Ponce, and it ended too early for the question to be answered. Fighters can be so dominant over their opposition though that ability skill wise can mask a fighter's inability to take a punch.
gerry penalosa exposed juanma...
Exposed what? That he can throw 100+ punches if he wants to?
No one with one punch knockout power has been able to do that since Aaron Pryor. Lopez was throwing crisp 3,4,5 punch combos too, not repeating the same punch. The only deficiency he exposed was that Juanma can get hit by a right hook once in a while and he showed a pretty good chin because he wasn't fazed and kept throwing. His accuracy was scary too.
Dude is special, but if my dude Rafa Marquez is still straight after those wars I like his chances. Mark Johnson and Tim Austin were P4P southpaws that got handled, Juanma can get it too.
if juanmna and calderon are in the same weight and height, who you think will win?
im going to give u a nice green K for this question!!!!
i love calderon.. and hes the best...
if they were the same size & height .....
prime to prime......
i pick calderon.. hes just 2 elusive.... and he knows the sweet science better than anyone currently active right now.. he beat u with skills... not power.. so if they are the same...
CALDERON :boxing:
What's up Mel, I'm chillin'
I think Juanma can beat a lot of guys, including Vazquez, Caballero and Marquez. I just think a slick fighter can beat him. But he is a real good fighter and he KTFO De Leon who is no slouch himself, De Leon was a very dangerous opponent and Juanma took him out easily.
yeahh!!
its only about time!!! i want to see him with real top guys!!!
hes going to face the winner of concepcion and luevano....
from those guys... i think luevano is the slicker guy.. but he doesnt have the pop on his hands to gain juanmas respect..... so.. i cant compare him with gamboa .. cos gamboa is slick fast and have power.....
but if we are looking for a slick fighter to see how he reacts... luevano would be nice for him.... still hes going to ko him... if mario el principe almost beat him.. in fact mario give it away that fight for being a clownn....
im excited by the end of the year hes going to be a 2 div champ
I like Juanma more than Gamboa, but i think Gamboa is too slick for Juanma. He'll slip his way to a decision while Juanma tries to apply pressure. Remember Gamboa is a distance fighter, he likes to stay away and explode with flurries with his superior speed only when he knows you are off guard. Pressure fighters aren't known for being on guard.
with penalosa
9 rounds and over a thousand punches.. with a high accuracy....
gamboa would be a very exciting fight!!
i bet that when juanma moves to 126 gamboa is gonna move to 130
MARK MY WORDS!
by the way.... carlos ivan velazquez a young prospect from pr... beat gamboa in the amateurs... gamboa is GREAT .. but i want to see him against somebody whos not afraid of this skills power & buzz...
and trust me juanma is the one!!
great boxing skills?? he has good boxing skills.. hes a pressure fighter a straight banger he can be outboxed..
could you please tell me how many fights have u seen of him???
GREAT BOXING SKILLS!!!!
and u can quote me on that!!
i know who im talking about.... i've follow him .. so im 110% of this!!
did you see him waisting punches ??
PDL is a banger!!!
JUANMA is blessed with power and technique
i have to say that i'm not one for hype, at all, but juanma does have exciting fights, and hes has a list of attributes that make a good match up for a lot of fights.
he starts fast
he's aggressive
has power and is well balanced
so far from what i've seen he has a good chin
he's an active fighter
and he has the killer instinct when he's got his fighter out classed and or hurt
and that latter is the one attribute that makes me a fan.............. i think he's got tons of potential, lets see if it is so, and how long he can handle it????
At 126 I think Gamboa can outbox him and Chris John can outbox him too. I don't know about Vazquez and Marquez, they're pretty beat up from their trilogy.
sup kev!!!
the reason is because u dont know much about him.... most of the ppl know juanma as a banger... but the kid have mad boxing skills
he was like 115 - 6 in the amateurs....
but GOD blessed him with tremendous power....
im pretty sure that when u get a chance to see him more.. u will realize this....
remember the pdl fight??
eso fue un espuelaso!!
have u seen juanma waisting punches??? watch him.. again & again.... he have mad boxingskills.... if only bob arum would make up his mind and put him agaisnt caballero..... but thats not going to happen....he always have a cool head while fighting.....
its cool! cos like i say the kid is just making BIG NOISE RIGHT NOW... but when the time comes.... u will realize this.. and i know u will.. cos u have shown that u do KNOW BOXING... and im pretty sure.. that u are going to appreciate his skills when u realize that hes for real!
one thing juanma is not only a banger....
he have good if not great boxing skills...
hes not a ponce de leon.... the kid.. have a solid amateur background... and have mad boxingskills....
great boxing skills?? he has good boxing skills.. hes a pressure fighter a straight banger he can be outboxed..
one thing juanma is not only a banger....
he have good if not great boxing skills...
