Comments Thread For: Juanma: Salido Rematch The Last Fight at 126-Pounds

[BTL]

Juanma can beat with appropriate change but it will be another war and 6 months probably is not enough time to make the adjustment for SAlido.

I have rewatched the fight and juanma didn't show me anything that he can beat salido... I dont see how they had Lopez winning the fight.

Forget the 110% Juanma, forget even the 100% or 90%. He has taken some brutal beatings, he's not the same.

A rematch with Salido and a loss would be the end of his career.

That some beating. Those punches is gonna take a toll. Take a 6 months break with some proper training/trainer.

I thought the 66-66 draws scores at time of stoppage was kind of BS.

I think he must have a thorough CT scan of his brain done, he was slurring at the post fight interview.

That is no joke.

It sounds like you are blaming Bob Arum for Juanma looking like crap and getting KO'd. Juanma has always stated "I will fight anyone the promoter puts in front of me" and he has. It is Arums job to get Juanma fights and once Juanma signs the contract, it's up to Juanma to do his job in the ring. GBP is not perfect. They got Ortiz to sign to fight Maidana and we all know what happened in that fight. The only problem with Arum is he waited to long for the undefeated showdown between Gamboa vs. Lopez. Gamboa has taken care of everyone put in front of him, unfortunately, Juanma didn't do his job, whether it was slacking off in training, training just to lose weight, his divorce, etc. Whatever it was, he didn't look good and he paid for it..

Juanma doesn't need a new promoter, he needs a new trainer. Maybe, if Juanma can put his ego aside (now that he has been humbly KO'd), he could talk with Emanuel Steward and train alongside Cotto. Steward has done a good job of making Cotto better and he might be able do to the same with Juanma.

I agree but he got TKOd!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Former champion Juan Manuel Lopez (30-1, 27KOs) is hoping the rematch with Orlando Salido will happen before the end of the year. On Saturday night in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, Lopez was shocked in eight rounds when Salido stopped him. Salido picked up Juanma's WBO featherweight title and according a recent story on BoxingScene.com the Mexican boxer is planning to make his first defense on Mexican soil in July.

Technically, Juanma has been walking backwards since his win over Ponce De Leon. This was his worse fight were He looked over trained, was flat footed most of the fight and his punches were very wide leaving him open for Salido's sharp and short punches.
Salido game was simple. Presure and get there quicker.
He did great.
IMO, Juanma needs to walk away from his corner, move to L A and maybe join the Wildcard gym or Kronk.
His corner has not help him improve, but in the contrary. They have made him a street fighter that is getting beat by better boxing and basic boxing.
If He doesn't adjust, He will be out of the game after his next loss to Salido.

Glad I'm not the only one that saw that.

I didn't see the Showtime one, I saw ANOTHER post-fight interview with a spanish-speaking man.

He was slurring A LOT. Sounds really punch drunk. He took a lot of unnecesarry punishment that night.

Someone mentioned it here after the fight. I went to check the post fight interviews in Youtube, and I couldn't understand half of what he said.

Juanma just needs a REAL promoter. Goldenboy is run by a star fighter who has been World Champion not by some money hungry shark who's never competed in his life who knows nothing about fighters mentalities. Fighting for Top Stank is like going to war for draft dodging GWB Jr.

Arum is NO MONEY HUNGRY SHARK. You are even less than an imbecile. You and your whole extended family of illiterates could live an the interest from the millions that Arum donates to charities every year.

The money hungry shark is oscar. You are probably too illiterate to have read, and toomdeaf to have heard Oscar say, several times that I know of; "..........MY GREATEST AMBITION IN LIFE IS TO BE A BILLIONAIRE......."

Racist.
