    Just because Matwaga had a 26-12 record...

    does not make him a bum like they said he would fight 3 time in 3 weeks. i bet u 20 bucks cabellero would have never fought him. i think if they did cabellero would win but no way in dominate fashion. styles make fights and matwaga had a difficult style for juanma but cabellero style would not effect him as bad. I guess juanmas a bum now seems like everybody forgot about the penalosa fight were people said he was gonna get his ass kicked. I agree there should be a rematch and bob arum is a peice of **** for not giving one but juanman defently beat matwaga.

    He would have knocked Caballero out.

      Mtagwa might actually be better than Caballero. Caballero just has more power.

        i think cabellero wins by like a point at most i can see caberllo being stopped but not matwaga. he has an iron chin but if he fights a good boxer hell get destroy as we saw when juan ma was outboxing him dunno y he decided to trade but he put on a great fight

          Mtagwa is exciting and gave a great effort but I seriously can't believe what I'm hearing. He is a clubfighter who was brought into be KO'd in one round.

          I can't see him being too competitive with anyone except Lopez who basically invited Mtagwa to hit him on the chin with wild haymakers.

            Ricky Hatton with a 45-2 record is even considered a bum by Boxingscene.

            You're reason of styles make fights doesn't make sense. Tell me what style does Mtagwa have to make a technical boxer like JuanMa to have trouble? Mtagwa is a one-dimensional puncher whose punches are wild and clear. All JuanMa needed was a jab but he didn't do much.

            I'm not saying that Mtagwa is a bum but JuanMa should've dominated this guy. I can't believe some people even rate Lopez among the elite P4P's. But he clearly won the fight and a good candidate for FotY.

                Remember that scene in Rocky II when Duke Evers tries to explain to Apollo Creed why he shouldn't press for a rematch with Balboa? "He's all wrong for us" That's exactly what it's like for JuanMa and Mtagwa, Rogers style wise and mentality wise is all wrong for JuanMa.

                    back when this fight was announced i knew it would be a tough fight for lopez. you could come to that conclusion just based off of mtagwa vs. villa. i would just shake my head at all of the stuff i was reading. people were saying that this would be an easy fight and that it would be over quick.

                    people put to much emphasis on a fighters record and tonight showed another example of why you can't always use them to predict the outcome.
