    From the scene that talks about boxing.

    Montiel is having troubles making weight.

    Donaire will fight Jose Lopez for the new vacant Superfly wbo title and Montiel will fight Erik Morel for Penalosa's vacant WBO bantamweight title.

    Penalosa is likely to move up and be JML next opponent.

    Dayam why does this always happen in the beginning of every new year. All these good fights get lined up and some of them always gets cancelled. ****!!! I was looking to this fight the most.. Montiel doesn't really want none..

    I guess this will be Penalosa's last fight. Lopez KO7 Penalosa Penalosa won't get lucky twice.

    Lopez vs. Penelosa is NOT a mismatch, Penelosa is durable, a decent technician/tactician, can bang at any weight and will be a genuine test for Lopez (who I expect to win by decision)

    Hes also old, has a very low output not to mention very small for a bantamweight let alone superbantamweight.

    Penalosa will probably point out some flaws against JML and take him to the distance, but he has no chance in this bout, JML is a beast.

    This is really a flyweight vs. a featherweight matchup.

    Penelosa is one of those technicians who never manages to put out a stinker so...

    No way the management of Juanma put their boy against Penalosa. Too much risk.
