Sometimes, like tonight, it seems like he could knock out one of the Klitschkos.
And other nights, like the Matagwa fight, it seems like he could land 400,000 flush shots a round and not make a dent
im from PR.
but he was fighting in PR. he was allowed to wrap his hands the way he did when he knocked out Ponce IMO. Didnt he get his hands re wrapped at one fight before cause of that? sounds fishy.
I think that's obvious now.
The two fights in which he didn't get to use his special wraps are the two fights in which is power wasn't even there.
I don't know. I don't trust Juanama or his camp at all and I even think Concepcion had a decent shot at winning this fight. Bernabe is better offensively than Matagwa and I bet this fight could have been a war.
But over all there's nothing anyone is going to do to ensure these fights are safe. I mean Antonio Margarito got away with cheating for who knows how long? I thought Freddie Roach was Bernabe's trainer though? He would have caught it the same way he did when Lopez fought Penalosa.
i dont believe the tito wraps thingy, abe is strong and tough but he never faced someone with JuanMa's power, Penalosa also fought JuanMa at Puerto Rico and we know Gerry at the lower weights is a tough nut to crack, although it was stopped, he took all the bombs from JML but did not go down...
puncher is a puncher
power is always there for a puncher
it's about who they're fighting
if it's a guy with solid chin, won't look as powerful
if it's a guy pressuring them, won't be as powerful
Lopez a KO threat to any man at 126 right now
shame if he fights Rafael
he'll put him in the hospital
After Marquez whos next?
Gamboa?
Cab?
I don't see why not. A win over Marquez will give him a big name. I think Cab would be an easier fight than Gamboa because he's there to be hit. Juanma just needs to work on his defense.
Its true, he didn't know what to do once he felt the punching power tonight.
I wish JuanMa wasn't fight poor shot Rafa next but ehhh its a name and I can see why he would want the fight.

He mustahad his Tito wrap tonight !!!!!
jajajaja
In addition to Mtagwa not being a FW while Gamboa has fought as high as 130 before.
Honestly this is why Gamboa will have the type of success he will have at FW. Gamboa is really a SFW and possible a LW who just happens to be able to get down to 126.

dude was weight drained and dehydrated...He almost didn't even made it to the end
You should watch Rogers Mtagwa vs. Tomas Villa and you'll see why he lasted 12 rounds with Juanma. Also, don't forget that Mtagwa was hurt in that fight a couple times too...people forget that.

opponents have different skill level defense.
opponents have different level chins.
Sometimes you have to give credit to the chins and the will power of the people he was fighting. Mtagwa isn't much, I'll give you that...but that night, he was extraordinary fighting for his life. Those are just intangibles of the other guy that you can't discredit.
JuanMa has legit power and can KTFO anyone in and around his weightclasses...now, all he needs to do is make his promoter, who works for him get him fights against the most viable fighters out there
He was knocking cats left to right before he ran into mtwaga when he couldnt wrap his hands the way tito wrapped em. All of a sudden his power wasnt there. Now you can give him the benefit of the doubt and say his power is crazy but i rather check the facts and stick with that.
JuanMa's power is the real deal. Don't discredit Mtagwa's chin. That guy's chin is made of iron. The reason Gamboa cracked it easier is because of the speed. Mtagwa couldn't brace himself for shots he didn't see coming. You can't mess with JuanMa's power. Raf gonna find that out soon.

Considering what he said..
Other factor can also be because of different opponents. As we saw, Concepcion lunged in to punches and he doesn't have great footwork. No balance, no head movements, no jabs. Fukkin owned. :luvbed:
