JuanMa Lopez' Defense

[The Gambler1981]

He hasn't learned a single thing or improved one bit. It is sad watching a guy with tools think he is the end all and be all then fall apart because they failed to keep working on their craft. He has heart and he has talent but he lacked that drive to keep getting better.

If you want to know why people get real down on guys after loses Juanma is example A, if a guy fails to look in the mirror after tough situations (especially loses) to realize what issues caused it nothing will change, the old definition of insane "doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result"

In JuanMa's defense he was definitely concussed and punch drunk when he gave that interview. I thought Grey was a bit of a **** for asking the guy again. He took a real severe head beating throughout the whole fight, I don't think he had his wits. I wish he would have been more classy but he was in a bad state.

About the Gamboa fight, people who are saying he'd be steamrolled are forgetting that styles make fights. Gamboa is not a pressure fighter and also has a glass chin. I would still favor Gamboa because he's the more complete fighter but pre-Salido JuanMa (I fear he may be damaged goods now) would have definitely given him a good fight and possibly floored or stopped him. Remember, Gamboa has been down against VERY low quality fighters.

Whoever is making Gamboa pull out of the Rios fight is doing him a favor, even if he wins that one he's going to take a beating that slick fighters don't recover from sometimes.

Gamboa's never been hurt badly though, that's the difference.

He's been down due to reckless agression in the past and being knocked off balance, he's never been in the kind of position Juanma has been in all too often. The much smaller Marquez rocked Juanma badly. Gamboa has way too much speed for Juanma's slow punches, if Salido is able to land 3 or 4 to Juanma's single punch, Gamboa would torch him. He also hits MUCH harder than Salido.

Juanma's defence has too many holes, he tried to adopt the shoulder roll last night and was rolling into punches.

this is a real non-thread.
only coz lopez doesn't have a defence for us to talk about!

[Mister Wolf]

U didn't see his facing blocking Salido's right hook.

Just need to match Juanma someone who is technically unsound and does not have a good right hook.

Match him with a bum so he can look good?

[El Angel]

His defense is eat shots until one of us goes down.

[AntonTheMeh]

a bum ass philly shell is better then blocking with his face.

[Larry the boss]

a bum ass philly shell is better then blocking with his face.

[Phil Ivey]

Mayweather makes it look so easy, other people look like fools doing it.
