According to a phone interview held with Juanma Lopez and Israel Vasquez on 6/24/08, they have spoken several times about the possibility of a fight in June 2009. Vasquez also stated that this fight is possible if the timing is right.
In the interview Juanma stated "I respect Vasquez and what he has done, but I would be the bigger man, and the stronger man. If I had to choose between Vasquez, Marquez, and Conception, I want Vazquez!"
Juanma was also asked about young Mexican prospect Abner Mares. Juanma stated "Abner Mares has not deserved a fight with me. I am ready for names of significance and Abner Mares is not that. Maybe in a couple years when he has developed his name in the boxing world."
Juanma is looking to defend his title sometime in the near future but did not specify against who or when.
Juanma was also asked about a rematch with Daniel Ponce Deleon and he stated "Daniel Ponce DeLeon hasn't expressed a desire to fight me again. If that is what the fans want to see, then we can do it, but I havent heard that anyone is interested in seeing a rematch considering that I got rid of him as quick as I did".
