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

[Freddy Krueger]

what i really wanna know is WTF was arum thinking when he matched him up against a guy with 12 losses? theres no win win here. u win u beat a bum, u lose u can kiss everything goodbye. u win ugly,& everyones gonna be on ur ass. this is what happens when u average about 2 rounds per pro fight= not that much pro experience. he needs a better corner, to move up in weight so he doesnt have any more problems making weight & a little more experience before we start hyping him again. maybe im just mad & disappointed but i have to keep it real...i still think that he can beat caballero with ease, but his complete ring smart aint there yet.

Cabs ****, Juanma can beat him. I like Juanma but his last fight was disappointing with how poorly his d was. I fell for the hype about this kid, I mean most of us thought he'd box Gamboas ears off but after that last performance against a bum who has very terrible d... Thats not impressive when your opponents eats punches all night long and you struggle with them and then you start dropping your own defense.

Now that I look at the past, i don't know why I expected Juanma to be in the same league as Gamboa. I think alot of us underrated Gamboas own skills and just looked at him being knocked down like 2 legitimately times, when he wins his fights and dominates like every round of his fights.

Being legitimately knocked down by two opponents is not bad. Atleast he wasn't hanging off the ropes like Lopez was in the 12th round. Lopez held onto the ropes a couple of times in the 12th. Gamboa wasn't even hurt from his knockdowns, Lopez was about to die in the ring in the 12th struggling and holding onto the ropes.

Gamboa got KD by Darling Jimenez and had a hard time with him. Gamboa has a lot of speed but when he attacks his mind is made in what combos he gonna throw, thats y he gets KD. He sticks his head up in the air ala Mosley when he throws combinations, he defense has improved. I don't think he has a bad chin. If you look at Rogers record he has some tough loses,SD, MD. But Lopez has to fght Caballero first

lopez has to fight caballero first? when then tell cab to sign the contract then! damn serioiusly let top rank do what they do best, develop their talent unlike gbp they do not rush their fighters to the limelight

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.

Your talking our of your ass dude. You still can't compare Gamboa to Juanma. Who has Gamboa fought ???? Exactly. Compare their records. Juanma has 27 wins/ 24 by KO (13 Consecutive KO's prior to this fight). Gamboa's record is a measly 16 wins/ 14 KO's. He has a lot to learn yet. Gamboa has been rocked and knocked down at least four times to bums and he has some flaws.

Juanma fought a long fight Saturday night but he also proved to have a strong chin. He was never knocked down but he was exhausted cause very seldom he goes a full twelve rounds cause of his Knock out power. Gamboa is one of those mo ****ers that needs to be hit with a brick to knock him out. If Gamboa would of been taking those punches, lights out.

Mtagwa is a veteran fighter who's had 9 wins by way of TKO his last nine fights. He has alot of losses in his record cause he when up against the big boys at a very early stage of his career so having that said, he's no bum. The fighter that Gamboa fought was a complete bum.... You cant compare....

[Stoppage]

It shouldn't be up to Top Rank to decide whose next. It should be Lopez, himself.

I don't know, I feel as if there might be some ducking going on.

[paylapz83]

i know this is not gonna happen nxtyear....i can see lopez is scared of caba....its on lopez is the deciscion first not on top rank....

[SOPH~ REP.]

Please don't be the next David Haye,a real teaser,don't write checks that yo ass can't cash

i agree his a veteran but saying his no bum is bs.....ask 100 people here without considering that they are rooting for lopez like you and you see what im talking about....

I agree with this completely.

The one thing about Arum and Top Rank is it seems they hesitate to create big stars out of their fighters.
