ok just read it on elnuevodia.com.

medina's would be juanma next opponent.the fight is a done deal,medina will be going to PR promoting the fight.

bernabe concepcion was taken out because of a cut he suffer on his eye just recently.

because of penalosa's recent comments,juanma wants to make the penalosa bout in march of 09 of course coming victorious of his upcoming fight.

Good decision!. Medina, Penalosa and then Vazquez in June. Medina is no as bad as people make him sound his only lost is to boom boom Batista, and he gave a good effort.

Wait... Manuel Medina (who is WELL past his best days) or Sergio Manuel Medina?

Manuel Medina? That is ****ing pitiful. He's almost a punching bag now. That fight shouldn't even be licensed.

[KESSLER]

He will crush the old Medina.

I sure hope it isn't Manuel. That's almost as bad as those people who put labradors in with pit bulls for training.

I just found out that its Sergio Manuel Medina who is 33-1 (18). Much better match up than Manuel Medina, who is done. My guess is SMM will hold his own for a few rounds before getting stopped suddenly.

Glad to hear that, thanks. At least he a legitimate contender.

Sergio Menuel Medina is a much better choice than Manuel Medina but he'd lose as well IMO.

Medina was down 3 (I think?) times in his loss against Bautista.
Lopez is a much bigger hitter, he will catch him eventually for the KO in about the 6th round.
