Yeah, watch for "El Pollo" de Jesus. He looked pretty good last time I saw him fight on Telefutura.

I've seen Lopez fight once, im still not impressed with him, i know i need to see him fight more, but their seems to be a lot of hype on him and when i seen him fight i wasn't impressed.

"El Pollo" of Puerto Rico, took "El Pollo" nickname from "El Pollo" from Mexico, wtf...

Alex De Jesus

LOL, the kid grew up with that nick name in the projects, probably before he even started fighting, give him a break. Lopez has looked anxious on national TV, that happens to prospects a lot, I've seen him fight live maybe 5 or 6 times and I can tell you, he's good.

Right now imo these are the best prospects from PR:

1. Juan Manuel Lopez - Super Bantamweight - 14-0-0

2. Mario Santiago - Featherweight - 16-0-0

3. Jonathan Oquendo - Featherweight - 11-0-0 (First PR to sign with GBP)

4. Alex de Jesus - Light Welterweight - 11-0-0

5. Jose Correa - Welterweight - 12-1-0
