Juanma train running a lil bit lighter suddenly?

i don't know, i think mtagwa might have tito'd him (a la fernando vargas) - usually guys who get crushed like that don't come back the same. He might be more gun shy, might be less willing to take a shot to give a shot, etc. He was literally on the razor's edge - mtagwa was *that* close to putting the guy to sleep, but all the same, I think the damage has been done. If he does end up fighting gamboa, juanma better pray he doesn't get hit clean.

he just happened to fight one tough mofo..everyone (inc. myself) was expecting another one rounder as Mtagwa's record shows him as being nothing but a journeyman....However it turned out that Mtagwa was one granite chinned iron willed mofo with some pretty good stamina.....in the last round, Lopez was totally out on his feet and at one stage I was expecting a white towel - not from the beating, but just frmo the rough-housing Mtagwa and Lopez' stamina was just gone. Lopez was lucky in the 12th that Mtagwa too was too tired and was just lacking that one last shot - which would have most probably ended the night for Lopez. I don't really rate Lopez any less for tonight's fight, and I was actually impressed by his smarts during the fight and in particular the 12th round when he displayed that he knew what to do when he was totally out on his feet. I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch as I'd like to see Mtagwa earn another little pay-packet as he did deserve it.

he got tested, didn't pass with flying colors, that's for sure. Seriously, in the last round, his brains were scrambled bad.

Watch the fight. Tryin to find a site thats replayin it, no luck thus far.

it was an exciting fight. i would of like for the fight to be easier(me as his fan) but as a boxing fan i could not ask for anything better. the ppv is expensive just to see a 1st round ko.
