Comments Thread For: Juanma Could Face Sanctions Over Slander Attack on Ref

[edgarg]

He better apologize to the ref... that ref was letting him get away with murder that night while yelling at Salido for supposed "Low blows" (looked perfectly legal punches to me) than Juanma still tries to blame the ref? LOL funny Juanma, that ref was doing you favors all night, including that stoppage, if he woulda let you continue your health was at serious risk papa.

Yes, at least 2 weren't even nearly low. Also Lopez was holding the back of Saledo's neck and hitting him with the other hand, totally illegal, and the ref allowed it.

[any craic lad?]

What Juanma said was ****** and a shame after battling his heart out but it was a very direct accusation unlike fighters just blaming a ref in general so it was a strange thing to say.Anyway hopefully he will issue an apology

The face of the Translator when he heard what JuanMa was saying says it all. We have to remember that Lopez just had just got beating like a stepchild and may have been out on feet. But go back and look at his face and you can tell he really does not want to repeat it and was even just paraphrasing JuanMa at one point. I feel bad for Juanma but not enough that i wont laugh my butt off when i watch the replay

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I think Juanma said a little too much for his own good. I think he knew the fix was in and that there was no way he would lose on the score cards, think he knew the ref also knew this and was angered he stopped it. Lopez probably knew he just had to make it till the final bell and he had the victory, Salido just ruined the master plan by bringing the pain. You have to speak Spanish and really analyze the things he was saying to get what I mean.

i noticed a couple of times that he was pointing to the crowd.

The Racket Squad: The Torment Of Loss

Lopez fought a gallant 10 frames.
The judges were attempting to give him the fight.
He then insulted the ref who saved his very life.
Mr. Lopez should retire.
The next beating could be the brain buster.

What about the judges? It's evidently clear what their intentions were. WBO exposed.

Guess everyone has a fit when things don't go according to plan, lol...the TR way. Man I am SO glad he stopped Lopez, that would have been another devastating blow to boxing judging. Those scorecards were pathetic and it just goes to show you, the BS that goes on. The hilarious part was too that the ref was blatantly on Juanma's side, not calling any elbows he threw, when he held Salido down and punched him several times. When you watch the fight you can see the ref just eyeballing Salido, waiting to take a point for something lol. Thank God Juanma wasn't able to make it the distance and we got a great fight with a GREAT result. That crap he said about the ref was absurd, I lost all respect for Juanma after that. He has great power and good boxing skills but his lack of defense and holding his chin out has taken years off of his career. The 1st Salido fight was bad but this was a real systematic beating, I do not think Lopez will ever recover from this. He still has a career but he better stay away from Gamboa, Rigondeaux, Donaire and Garcia.

I remember when they read the Ward/Froch scorecards, I think 1-2 of em even had that relatively close, which was utterly absurd, Froch at best won 1 round, and that is being very generous. How many ****ty decisions have we had lately, Pac/JMM III, Campillo/Cloud, Lara/Williams, JCC Jr/Zbik., Kayode/Ianuzzi...the list goes on and on. Now we can look forward to the possible robbery Bradley is going to get against Manny. That is good old TR for you. Thankfully TR is not involved with Cotto/Mayweather and we can see a valid decision if it goes to the cards.

Juanma comitted career suicide when he blamed the ref for his L. PR Best Boxing has come out with a public apology on his behalf but the damage is done, they won't be able to repair his cry baby image.

People here in PR are pi$$ed at him and when you lose the support of your fan base you might as well call it a career. We won't watch his fights, much less pay a ticket to one of his fights after such a disgraceful post fight act. If he decides to continue on he'll be fighting on FNF and lowly fight cards.

[kidjalapeno]

As punch drunk as juanma was dam right he things he was cheated.. he gave one hell of a fight .. who should really be suspended are those judges wats their excuse..

[STREET CLEANER]

Now that they are going to work on Juanma comments how about working on those judges of the fight
