    I don't think he was in his senses at the time. He might not even be right now.

    JML is too predictable, all you really have to do is watch out for his right hook, he has no other weapons other than that.

    I told my housemate that the announcers missed how much that last right hand damaged Lopez. He basically fell into his corner, and he looked terrible during the break. I wish they'd have stopped it, too.

    Whether he retires is something he'll need to ponder, but I don't know how any human being could watch that post-fight interview and not be disturbed. He's a young man and needs to prioritize his health. All respect to JuanMa.

    Spanish is my native tongue. I have been around Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Venezuelans, Colombians, and of course, Mexicans, I know how we all speak: Juan Manuel López slurs his speech BADLY.

    You can ask any other native Spanish speaker in here.

    I heard López's interviews on PR radio about 6 months ago and he was just like this.

    maybe just 2 or 3 more fights vs Gonzales, Jhon, and a Ponce De Leon Rematch, or maybe vs Garcia or Russel?

    Definitely slurring now. I think he should retire given his style, but his next fight will determine how much the guy has left. I hope he invested his money right. Juanma was involved in numerous great fights for us to witness, it's a shame he has to hang them up so early.

    Lopez has taken a lot of damage but he should not retire yet.

    As long as he stays away from heavy hitters he should be OK.

    The shelf life of the smaller men in boxing is a lot less

    What has Juanma got left ??? , a move to 130 ??? why , there's no real reason (unless he's financially in trouble) , he has took a lot of damage

    I have to agree with the majority of the thread
