Comments Thread For: Donaire vs. Juanma Clash The Next Target Says Arum

[RL_GMA]

People cry too much man. This is a good action fight. If he fought Chris John, people would b*tch. If he fought Salido, people would b*tch, he's not fighting either Garcia or Ponce, so who do you want him to fight? Pancho down the block?

Donaire loses, looks unimpressive, says he's gonna take time off and Arum is already lining up a fight for him. Meanwhile, good ol Bob says Rigo is hard to promote but Junma has the perfect style to market a Rigo bout. I still have yet to hear Bob actually give his fighter (Rigo) praise for beating Nonito, all he has done is make excuses why Donire lost without giving much credit.

Donaire vs Juanma and Garcia vs Martinez both in Puerto Rico were already discussed and mentioned last week before this weekends fight. Donaire is moving up to 126 because he can't make weight anymore at 122 and Garcia wants a chance at Gamboa that's why he's moving up too.

Lopez's problem is not his chin but his conditioning and lack of defense. You get tired, you get sloppy with defense and mentally, everything becomes harder to overcome. Defense and stamina!!!!!

[Howellman]

This is actually a great fight to me. Donaire's left hook vs. Juanma's right hook. There will be bombs landed all fight. No need to criticize Nonito's choice of opponnent after a bad loss and surgery. From there we'll see what happens. He won't really be able to fight smaller guys anymore at a higher weight.

Yeah this fight will be a sell-out if it happens in Puerto Rico. Another possible option would be Chris John in Macau but maybe Arum is planning that after he fights Juanma.

[Howellman]

If he says he had problem making weight, then it's time to move up. JuanMa has been calling out Donaire so I guess it's time to see that fight.

Yeah Juanma said before the fight he would move down to 128 to fight Donaire but I don't see Donaire moving up to a catchweight of 128 that soon. He needs to test 126 first and most likely the WBO Featherweight Title will be on the line because Garcia is moving up to 130 to fight Martinez. For the vacant WBO Featherweight Title it has to be at exactly 126 right?

[Howellman]

Whoa... in PR?
That's dangerous. Salido was down both times on the cards in his fights and he was giving JuanMa the business. Donaire better KO him too or he'll lose a wide decision.
Also, I bet this is for the WBO belt... if JuanMa can make it.... and Mikey moves up to fight Rocky

Yeah it looks like it's going to be in Puerto Rico because Mikey Garcia will fight Rocky Martinez in the undercard.

Will be an entertaining fight while it lasts, but, good night sweet Juanma

I think the fight is 50/50 and it's most likely for the vacant WBO Featherweight Belt if Mikey takes on Rocky so both fighters will bring their A game.

Juanma breaks nonito down and KO's late. But first when was the last time juanma fought?
