Time For Juanma To Retire

[Toney Loc]

Salido just has his number, Mayorga-Forrest style. JuanMa can still beat alot of fighters.

I disagree with your example.

Mayorga didn't have Forrest's number.

He caught Forrest in the first fight, but Forrest was clearly robbed in the second. That second match wasn't even close, but the judges gave it to Mayorga.

Aside from that I agree with your comment.

Man I tell you that Salido is not top 5 on his division and beat the fugg out of Juamma. Sorry, but he looked stiff, with no footwork, sloppy, inacurrate and overall amaterurish (SP??).

Yes, he put Salido down with a short hook, and yes, there were those two rounds but Salido outlanded him 2:1 and how about that interview??? WTF!!

Im Puertorican and I support my fighters but comm'on. It was obvious, even Trinidad was talking about how he was lossing the fight.

He needs a NEW TRAINER, relook his entire offensive and defensive approach and go back to basics.

Nah, it's too early to say he should retire. However, in thinking about him moving up in weight and being able to hang with and beat the top guys, I'd say he should re-evaluate his career and be sure that he thinks that type of a move is in his best interest.

[borikua]

Nah not yet.

I don't think he should retire..

I honestly feel that Salido is just a style nightmare for him.. Just the fact that Salido is so tough, gritty, and is able to absorb Lopez's bombs, makes it very difficult for Juanma... And when Salido cranks up that pressure and throws caution to the wind, just staying in Lopez's grill, he seems to have a hard time with it

Lopez's power has always been the equalizer but against a guy like Salido he needs more than that and he wasn't able to find an answer in their two fights

Last night Juanma showed that his chin isn't the problem IMO, he stood up to some big shots, but he needs to tighten up that defense...

I would still love to see him in there with some guys at 126...

No need to retire. Too early. Salido has his number.

Funny how people automatically call for fighters to retire like they are some authoritive source on someone's elses career. He got his asz beat by the same fighter twice. It can happen and did. The hurt business is for a select few and as it has been said already JuanMa (despite all his shortcomings) still beats most other fighters not named Gamboa or Salido. Have you ever had two BAD days at work or maybe received two bad grades in school? Maybe you should retire - quit your job or drop out of school

He won't be getting huge payday for a while if he doesn't(retire) though.

And needs to fix his defense, basically he relies more on his power than his chin I noticed.
