Juanma: "I Want Caballero, Top Rank Has Other Plans"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBO super bantamweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez arrived back in Puerto Rico; returning from the toughest win of his career. Lopez won a much tougher than expected decision over veteran Rogers Mtagwa on Saturday night at the WaMu Theater in Madison Square Garden. For the last year, there has been a slow build-up for a unification bout with WBA/IBF champion Celestino Caballero. Every indication had the fight taking place on January 23 in Puerto Rico with HBO televising. [details]

Both Juanma and Caballero have struggled against Journeyman. Funny how Gamboa has never struggled against any of his opponents and he wins like every round except for the few occasions he let his guard down and got caught but go right back up and beat his opponents to a pulp.

My whole point is that these two fighters(juanma and cab) are made for each other, Gamboa is better then both of them. Gamboa would beat the crap out of both of them.

I wish Top Rank would just do Juanma-Caballero, give us fans what we want.

Bull****, this fight neds to happen at 122 with all the marbles on the line.

Fom everything I've read before, Juanma makes 122 pretty easily and now they're trying to say he's struggling to make the weight. If anyone should want it to be at 126, it should be Caballero since it's actually effected his performance before, but he wants it to be at 122 where all the titles are on the line.

Lopez needs to do what Margarito did and say 'fuck Top Rank, if they don't want to do it, I'll do it anyway.' Don't duck Caballero.

Come on Arum. Give Juanma some rest (say 4-5months) then seriously go after Cab. Give us this fight Bob. Let Juanma regain that aura of a superstar again. IMO, he needs that boost now more than ever.

Here we go with these games, if you really want to fight someone you can get it done, your promoter works for you, threaten to leave when your contract is up and he will change his tune. You didnt mention Cab after the fight and you know you dont want him. Stay under your little witness protection plan.

juanma is a little ***** after dat performance he wants nothing to do with cab and bob over protects his fighters at least golden boy pits their fighters in good fights unlike this old fat bastard bob.. Nd here every one claming he was pound for pound material.

I kind of believe Juanma does want to fight Cab. But whayever Arum wants Arum gets. Remember how he was so mad when Margo signed to fight Williams. He had nothing to do with that fight. He wanted Cotto vs Margo instead of Cotto vs Zab. But Lopez should have spoke up yesterday.

Co sigN!!!!!!

This idiots here dont understand that Juanma is juts another prospect for the momemement and he cant **** with Arum.

I bet that the Caballero fight will be Juanmas next fight.

They know, Juanma will be out for 4 or 6 months and they need to keep the hype up while Juanma is sidelinded!!!!!

I want to see this at 122 to see who's the best at the weight.

Get the fight made sooner, and not later
