Juan Manuel Lopez: Macho Man or Mama Cita? Bernabe Conception will Let Us Know

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

Only problem with Concepcion is his lack of activity. And I always see a jab jab left straight combo out of him. Not much else. But he has the will and heart should he get into trouble. Hope that will be enough. Otherwise, I'm not that confident of his chances.

i think that had a lot to do with luevano's annoying safety first bitchy style. juan ma's style is gonna let conception throw & will make for a much greater fight stylistically.

Everybody looked at the negative in that Mtgawa fight. Nobody really looked at the positive in that fight.

If Juanma showed anything in that fight it was that he has intangibles that you can not learn. Which is very important in a fighter. He showed that he can pull off a win when things are not going his way, he showed heart, he showed survival instincts, he showed grit, determination, will, toughness. Any lesser fighter in that situation would NOT have survived that fight.

And, lets face it. Mtagawa was not the best fighter that Janma has faced. He is not even in the top 3. De Leon was better, Penalosa was better, Luevano was better. He won damn near every round against those top 3 fighters. He answered the questions that I had about him with the Mtagawa fight.

Nothing to hate on Juanma, and now he is also facing a better fighter than Mtagawa. Still facing top 10 fighters. And, he will win this fight too. And, people will still hate for some reason.

lopez is definitely one of the best young fighters out there, i think this is his biggest test to date.

mtgwa was a journey man with double digit loses. juan ma should have dominated that fight if his greatness is what his fans & handlers predict it to be. i think gamboa has the much higher upside. the penalosa fight was a disgusting mismatch. penalosa was old, shot, & a division too high for his own good. typical top rank strategical match making. can really gleam too much from that win.

conception will let us know if he's ready to step up to the next level.

concepcion is strong but he has stamina issue. plus he doesnt adapt well to changes. he has plan A but no plan b or c. juanma by either decision or tko

Yup. The Mtagwa fight is also the reason why I'm still a fan even after all this ducking talks. Only thing I hate about Juanma now is that he always talk about money. I'm concerned that his motivation right now could be only that and nothing else.

Agreed but even on his other fights. He has a tendency to throw that combo and not much else. i think he wanna be like Pac.

As for the bold, that is why I'm hyped for this fight.

On the real people **** on Juanma for really no reason. Yes he looks hella bad with the Caballero incident. Yes he should of fought him. I think he avoided him. But, Juama resume is really not that bad. He has fought some top fighters. And, he survived a fight that he was faced with his first adversity. He has proved that he is a Macho Man IMO.

Luevano and at the time De Leon was in the top 5 at 122.

Yea I don't like his money talks either. I really hate when a fighter starts talking about that.

Lopez is fine. He'll beat the utter **** out of Concepcion.
