    Juanma and showtime.

    I confess, I have not been too fond of juanma in the past, but recently hes caught my attention and the fact that he is a young champ on the brink of greatness stepping it up in competition makes it all the more interesting. Great, but now there's supposed to be something like a 24/7 showtime equivalent on him???

    When did this happen? Is he staying on showtime for the long run? I don't receive showtime from my cable provider (not anymore), and I'm honestly not too fond of the commentators.

    I like the showtime commentators but to each their own lol. I couldn't help but wonder how would Juanma vs Gamboa play out. I think Gamboa would have beat Juanma last saturday b/c he's 3 times as fast as Bernabe and hits harder 2. But I also recognize Gamboa can be put on the canvas as well.

      I guess after Mtawga put hands on him HBO realize he isnt the stellar pedigree everyone boasted about, so Showtime it is.

                hbo puts much worse on their airwaves. juanma has fight ending power is a bit chinny and gets over aggressive when he has his opponent hurt...if thats not a recipe for good viewing i don't know what is.

                  There's more to be found on the flat screen this summer than just sitcom repeats and reality TV retreads, especially if you're a fight fan -- thanks in part to HBO.


                  The talent is similar at featherweight, which boasts Juan Manuel Lopez, Yuriorkis Gamboa, Celestino Caballero and Chris John, all of whom have appeared on HBO, as well as Elio Rojas, who will face Gamboa in a Sept. 11 unification fight on the network.

                  However, Lopez, who had been fighting on HBO, is moving to rival Showtime for a fight July 10. If he wins, a plan is already in place for him to return to Showtime on Sept. 18 to face Rafael Marquez. So how did Lopez get away from HBO?

                  "When we sat with Top Rank a few months ago to discuss several possible fights, and we couldn't do them all, we thought 'Juanma' was going to have his next fight on one of their pay-per-views. That's what they told us," Greenburg said. "And the next thing we go on [ESPN.com] and find out he's fighting on Showtime. So it's going to take some time to figure out things in the division. Arum said his plan was to work toward 'Juanma' fighting Gamboa. Clearly, that is not the plan right now. The doubleheader [on HBO in January] is as close as they got. But we really like Gamboa [who is also with Top Rank]. We think he's a major talent and we'll continue to track his career. We also like Chris John, who has been in some good fights on HBO."

                  Eventually, Greenburg hopes to match Lopez and Gamboa.

                  "What we will do is wait to see what happens with Lopez next week and then again in the fall, presumably on Showtime, and then we'll march on and see if we can create the big one," he said. "Obviously, we are very interested in Lopez-Gamboa."
