Comments Thread For: Juanma: Now I'm Ready For Salido, Gamboa, Gonzalez

[Toltec77]

Juanma is not ready to fight Salido, he looked like crap in the ring.

Juanma got tagged to many times by Mike Oliver a bum. It looked like he got rocked a little in the fist round by a guy that doesn't even hit hard, he still looked slow and stiff to me, no defense at all, and that's not good for him if he has a glass chin. If he fights Salido again this time he gets put to sleep, and hes career will come to an end. I notice also that Oliver was tagging Juanma with the same kind of punches salido was landing in their fight.

I just wanted to make clear that im a boxing fan, not prejudice when it comes to race. Mexico and Puerto Rico have had great wars in the boxing ring, its what makes boxing great. plus people need to realize its better to be humble then prideful because one day might be humble like it or not.

gamboa is already the king, no would have etc

Gamboa is the king at fighting bums and don't forget that.

Compare the 2 resumes.

[AntonTheMeh]

Yes, compare them! And you'll see that the "bums" that Gamboa has destroyed have spanked Juanma HARD. I can't believe people are still talking this kind of ****.

This guy has feather fists... it's more likely that Lopez did not care to be hit by him and thus went in for the kill. I doubt Lopez will fight Gamboa or Stero..Salido with the same careless defense.
I bet JuanMa figured I gotta look vulnerable if I am ever going to get Salido in the ring again.

People come up with the most BS explanation possible sometimes.

Okay...Gamboa has 21 pro fights. You have to allow for some easy opposition in the first few fights of a boxers career. That statement goes for everyone, including Lopez. I think it's fair to look back at, say, Yuri's last five opponents.

1. He just schooled Ponce De Leon, a fighter JuanMa destroyed in one.
2. He annihilated Jorge Solis, a very respectable fighter with a 40-2-2 record (one of those losses coming against Manny Pacquiao).
3. He easily defeated Orlando Salido, a very solid fighter who beat Lopez.
4. He beat Barros, who was 28-0-1 when he met Gamboa.
5. He destroyed Rogers Mtagwa in two. Mtagwa is a journeyman, but he happened to take JuanMa to the brink in his previous fight.

The fact is that Yuriorkis Gamboa has fought all quality opposition that has been available to him at 126. If there are nothing but weak fighters, that's not Gamboa's fault. You'd be in denial if you really think that Yuri wouldn't have fought Lopez given the chance. The only thing that's stood in the way of that is, as is commonly known, Bob Arum.

He has no answer for that. His trap is sealed shut.

juanma looked a bit sloppy against oliver and his defense still needs work. he would still have trouble with salido i think, and gamboa knocks him out.
