Juan Manuel Lopez Barely Beats Mtagwa in a War

[wizard king]

lopez won the fight thier was no question about it anybody who says he lost or drawed is a straight out hater. i didt like the commets lopez said at the end of the fight. basically lopez calling mtaqwa a bum and he shouldt be fighting fighters that have nothing to lose. he should give that bum mtaqwa more respect cause he almost koed his ***** ass in the last rounds.

[wizard king]

i now realized something about lopez is that as he goes up in weight his power is gonna disappear and gonna be left with his skills only and thats not gonna hack it against a real pwr punchers. had mtagwa had real pwr lopez would have got koed

Lopez was hanging on for dear life at the end man what a fight

[Elbambinosky]

So, what you hate the most that he is Puertorican or that he won the fight?

maybe, but juanma really doesn't have a whole lot experience against top fighters, but if he doesn't learn now he'll never will.

juanma - caballero.. make it happen bob...come on bob.. there's no one else left really ..make it happen bob

while juanma did show tremendous heart in those last two rounds especially the 12th... that **** had me on the edge of my seat!!!!!!.... but after all the smoke settles.... it starts to become more clear.... juanma should not have had any trouble with a guy with 12 loses that has never looked spectacular in any of his fights even his biggest wins.... and to not only have trouble with him... but to have witnessed a miracle of him barely surviving the last round and not getting knocked out by a nobody was just ****in rediculous... and i actually thought that he might have become something great.... damn these promoters do a great job of making us believe in these HYPE jobs until they get exposed, and this to me, is as close as a fighter can get to being exposed with out actually losing the fight..... i've said my piece... now u guys can hate it or luv it... whatever.... but it was a damn good fight when it shouldn't have been!!!!

Cosign. An let me also add something I remember top rank followers hating on victor ortiz when he got his ass kicked by maidana and talking **** about GB when top rank is worse on making people believe their ****ty fighters are the next big thing. Ortiz was an error from his part of fighting maidana fight instead of being more technically when he dropped him 3 times. The only difference is Maidana is a fighter with a 26-1 record with tremendous power with 25 ko in his career and already a champion when matwaga is nobody.

Now on juanma barely surviving to a nobody is just ridiculous. Seriously thats more of an upset already when he got rocked and barely survived to a guy that doesn't have much power imagine if izzy or marquez fight him?? those guys have unbelievable stamina to go to war for 12 rounds straight. Now I understand why juanma doesn't want to fight caballero **** I don't blame him if he doesn't want to fight him now after this fight.

damn sounds like a great fight,to bad i missed it.mtagawa is a bad dude .i remember when he fought norteno villa on boxeo tecate.

[Elbambinosky]

Good fight though... But Juanma needs a more versatile corner. He needs to be more tactical and his defense needs to improve a lot. But it's all good, hopefully from his mistakes he will learn. And by the way to all the haters nuthuggers, he clearly won that fight, even though he lost the last two rounds!!! Keep hating y'all

Caballero busted Leal up and tko'ed him.

That's not looking like ****, brother.

I dont know what it is about some of these posters, but thread after thread all i hear about is how caballero would get wasted by juanma and how bad Caballero sucks, yet hes p4p and holds all of the legitmate belts. Juanma is little more than a prospect at the moment. I had to learn the hard way, that just because you dominate alphabet belt mandatories doesnt mean somebody out of nowhere can rough you up. From what i saw tonight i think JuanMa fought the wrong fight, and he is vunerable, you would have to be a moron to sit here and say "Oh dont think caballero would beat his ass" when hes p4p for a reason. JuanMa has yet to make his mark fighting in his own division, his biggest win is against penalosa, while Celestino holds every belt and is p4p. Talk about people who "have never seen caballero fight". That guy is a moron.

Juanma is a good fighter, but at this point, you cant count out the idea that Caballero is threat to him.
