Comments Thread For: Steven Luevano – No Wasted Motion or Emotion

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Thomas Gerbasi - Like the fictional wizard Gandalf in JRR Tolkien’s Lord of The Rings, WBO featherweight champion Steven Luevano “is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.”

At 28 years old, and with 39 fights to his name, Luevano’s time finally comes on Saturday night, when he steps into the ring at Madison Square Garden’s WaMu Theater and faces off against Puerto Rican star Juan Manuel Lopez.

Lopez is bringing the name, the fans, and the money this weekend, and he is expected to use Luevano and his belt to set up an eventual showdown with Cuba’s Yuriorkis Gamboa (who is featured in the HBO co-main event against Rogers Mtagwa). Luevano knows this, and is well aware that even with a 37-1-1 record and five successful title defenses, he is seen as a bit player in Saturday’s biggest fight. In fact, he thinks Lopez feels the same way.

“I guess he figures that this is gonna be an easy fight for him,” Luevano told BoxingScene. “That’s why he didn’t take a tune-up fight. Other reporters have told me that he’s said that I haven’t fought anybody and that he doesn’t think I’m a really good fighter. I don’t know if he did say it or not, but I’ve got it in my head that he’s taking me lightly.” [Click Here To Read More]

Luevano is very underrated, IMO. He's going to prove that come Sunday.

It's not going to be easy...

I've seen Luevano fight a few times & there's no doubt that he got skills & is a good fighter...against Santiago was a close fight which I thought Santiago won, but that's done & over...Juanma & his team actually been saying that Luevano is a real good fighter & that they are going to take their time & go round per round..Someone has been giving the wrong info to Luevano on comments made by Juanma & his camp...Comparing Juanma to Santiago(Santiago being a natural featherweight)is much quicker with his hands than Juanma & Santiago has pop in his punches & throws a lot, yet Luevano was able to deal with that(to a certain point)..The only thing Luevano would have to deal with is Juanmas power, especially his right hook...Now Juanma had problems actually BIG problems with MtaGwa & looked frustrated against Lontchi(nether one of these 2 fighters have half the skills that Luevano has)..Juanma says he did not look good in his 2 last fights do to weight problems & now at this weight he feels a lot stronger & won't get tired do to the fact that there was no problem making the weight, so let's see what happens tomorrow...It's going to be an interesting fight...

lol Luevano they are giving you the wrong info. Juanma has been prasing your ass, saying you are good boxer and a tough guy. If you think he is taking you lightly wait till tomorrow night to see whats what.


I will make a bold prediction here for the hell of it.

I say Luevano tries and exchange with Juanma too confuse him like he did with Mario and Juanma KHTFO in the 2nd round

[brutus25]

i believe luevano is a great fighter great counter puncher knows how to slip punches. id like to see him and maywheathere fight it would be kickass fight.
luevano will school lopez and knock him out.

[boxingfan76]

luevano is extremely slick very solid foundation,i hope he beats juan ma , as juan ma way too sloppy.

[jameshepenstall]

Luevano is slick and he will need that slickness, thats what will beat Juanma. If he goes toe to toe then i give it to Juanma in the 9th but if he boxes well and stays away, rounds 10, 11 and 12 will be all Luevano as Lopez gets tired and sloppy.
