Why i love Juan Manuel Lopez...

[coufsax]

Surprised to see you saying that, NAPO (being Puerto Rican and all).

I enjoyed the ****ing of the gloves, but I was more worried than pumped to be honest. He was willing to exchange and swing wildly WHILE HURT.

I have no shame in admitting that Gamboa, with the precision and quickness that he has, López could've been caught trading and would've gone down hard (had it been Gamboa in Márquez's place).

Both have dentable chins, but Gamboa's viper-like when he commits to his punches. It's Gamboa's speed that makes a difference, guy's punches are like a rapier thrusts. Quick and sharp with KTFO written all over them. López's punches are more like baseball bats...

They're nice, but Gamboa edges him in my opinion...

I agree, but Lopez vs Gamboa would be very interesting because it isn't the same fighting a bigger stronger guy and Lopez is just that compare to Gamboa and Gamboa has shown he's veeeeery vulnerable as well. When they fight if it goes the distance I give the edge to Lopez he just has to survive the early Gamboa storm.

Tell that to Jrosales13. He seems to think Rafa is still a prime fighter.


I was considering doing a show about this last night but I was too damn depressed about Rafa going out like that to carry on.

I remember telling you on your past show Jack to rewatch vazquez vs Marquez 4, cut the volumn down, and pay attention to long it takes Rafa to get his hands back into defensive position. While Rafa dominated that fight....there were times Israel couldn't miss due to rafa's poor reflexes...which is why I stated that this was a disgraceful bout put together by Top Rank.

Rafa only survived as long as he did due to his experience, and boxing IQ.

Yeah, Top Rank really stooped pretty low. Anything to prolong a Caballero fight though.

The cool thing about it was how badass Rafa went out in there. He held his own and almost dropped Lopez before Weeks stepped in to give him extra recovery time.

What do you mean by your first written line?


But Yeah if he keeps throwing punches like he's crazy I would Favor Gamboa too.

Nothing, it's just that being Puerto Rican I'm surprised you haven't opted to say, "The ****ing of the gloves was awesome!" and whatnot.

I'm tempted to say it was bad-ass, but I didn't like that when I was watching the fight live. I recorded the living room reaction when Juanma got clipped in the fourth, but no way in hell am I uploading this here. I stood up and started shouting, "¡Aguántate!"

It's amazing how crazy people become when they're watching a fight that they're emotionally invested in.

Why are you lying bro?

Show a link or a quote from me where I said Rafa is prime.

Even in the debate we had I said multiple times that Rafa is not prime, he is past prime. And, that he is prime was at 118. So what are you talking about? Do you not know how to read?

Now, I do believe that Rafa was not shot going into that fight, being shot, prime, and past prime are totally different thing you twat. I also said that Rafa is very small for that weight-class. You have no reading comprehension.
