And what Lopez had to say really irks me. He said he wants to fight Gamboa, but first will give a rematch to Marquez if he wants it. But no mention of Caballero at all. Lol. This dude is such a bitch.
I really don't know why Juanma doesn't mention Caba. I think Juanma KO's Caba anyday of the week. Maybe he doesn't want to give him a paycheck, or who knows. Whatever it is, it doesn't make him look good. Rematch, I doubt it, he probably just being respectul. Gamboa? Bob wont allow it.
To be honest I think it's just Arum who doesn't want the caba fight for Juanma, And Juanma would listen to Bob because if he doesn't listen and it goes wrong for him then he gets verified by Arum for not listening.
It's just amazing how Arum could let Juanma duck this fight even though it's making Juanma look bad to the boxing world, But as long as Juanma is fighting better opposition than Caba maybe all will be forgotten.
I hear what you're saying but the guy is running on fumes. Imo he needs to retire now because he'll just get progressively weaker and more vulnerable with every passing fight. That was a bold last stand and I don't mind it being his farewell fight.
This is a copout anyway. Caba's been top 10 p4p for long enough that he can ask for a respectable split. Lopez and his people just know the truth and they'll try to avoid him as long as possible. Maybe when Caba is 36 Lopez will come around.
Not only that, we just saw that Lopez can't draw flies to shit outside of Puerto Rico or the east coast area. 60-40 in Lopez's favor should get the fight done easily.
You don't? Man, I was impressed with his power. He went in there with the young lion of the division and he shook Lopez up good. Lopez doesn't have a great chin, but he's not packing glass. I think Marquez showed that he still has power at FW, if he doesn't hurt his shoulder that fight could play out way different.
If he can bang with a guy like Lopez and hurt him, he can probably do the same to anyone else in the FW division. I think Marquez is still a serious threat, depending on how much this fight took out of him. He did take some serious punishment later in the fight.

Caballero was willing to replace Marquez on short notice. Even if the monetary demand seemed a little out of bounds. Then he shows up to one of his weigh ins and puts him to shame. Lopez needs to do something about it and his fans need to stop defending him if he chooses not to.

Cab has also been a champ longer than Lopez has and has been paying dues for years.
Lopez is afraid of him and its obvious.

I don't think so. I was worried about it before the fight but was betting with pure heart on Rafa. He should retire. He's not as powerful at FW as he was at Bantam or even super bantam.
Totally disagree about Caba, he schools both of those guys.

He probably dosen't mention him because he knows it pisses him off beyond belief.
I'm sure he finds that hilarious.
Cab has become a attention whore.
Cab needs to worry about his next fight.

Caballero isn't that good. I know you're enamored with him because he plays the role of the victim so well, but the guy is just not really that good.
I actually think Caballero would give Gamboa problems, but I think Lopez wipes him out. But Gamboa would give Lopez a lot of trouble.
And Rafa has a good amount left, I don't think it's fair to dismiss that win for Lopez. I thought Marquez was gonna win. I wanted Marquez to win, I made that clear during the build up. Although the size was definitely a factor, can't argue that.

Rafa gotta get back to the drawing board,Gamboa gonna fight john.
The next obvious choice for lopez is cab.Unless cab prices himself out
of the fight.
That's another thing. If Gamboa fights John, then what are these Lopez nuthuggers gonna use as an excuse for Lopez not fighting Caballero? That he's pricing himself out. LMAO. We just saw nobody gives a fuck about Juan Ma outside of the island. I'm sure Caballero is a draw in Panama just like Lopez is in PR.
Rafa is too small and old, as we suspected and there is no way in hell you can tell me with a serious face that Gamboa is better than Caba.
:lol1:

I don't even really like Lopez but come on.
He wants to fight two guys that are much better than Caballero. If he fights Marquez again and then Gamboa....there's nothing to complain about.
Gamboa isn't better than Caballero and I'd put money on it. Yordan is better than Salido could ever dream of being in my view. Cab dominated Yordan and Gamboa looked like shit against Salido. Pure hype job.

prime vasquez wars, marquez beats him and vasquez beats him
i questioned if that is how slow lopez always throws his punchs, marquez had no legs but he sure fought hard and almost took out lopez in 2 occassions and i would like to see a 2nd fight

Caballero would destroy him and he knows it.
I mean just absolutely take him to school and put a severe beating on him.
WAR RAFA!!!
Only enhanced his legend tonight.
