Who do you want next for Juanma?

bob arum to die

 

I still wouldn't mind seeing him in with Caballero at this point. I would say he is still a good name to have on your resume...and I'd expect a better outing this time from Caballero.

 

It's a shame he blew Ponce De Leon out so easily first time around, as PDL's really rebuilt himself and come off a string of good wins (Cruz, Lock, Escalante) and won a WBO eliminator. Really doesn't make much sense now though, although it wouldn't be a first round stoppage again imo.

Hasegawa maybe? Or Rojas? (Who never gets a look in, I feel he's under-rated in a deep division although JuanMa should still beat him). I'd say Chris John but I want Gamboa to fight him first, I think he's had a bit of an easy ride compared to JuanMa of late, and he needs that sort of fight to establish himself in the top 2.

 

Yuriorkis Goombao, nothing else.

 

He's rematching Rafa isn't he?

 

1. Chris John
2. Celestin Caballero
3. Hozumi Hasegawa

But I'm afraid any of those will actually happen.
Chris John - not a big pay day and not an easy fight
Caballero - Juanma always was saying that he doesn't deserve a shot at him and now that he lost his last fight it may be true actually.
Hasegawa - I don't think that he wants to travel to USA to fight Juanma and neither will Juanma travel to Japan

 

Orlando Salido, Jhonny Gonzalez or rematch with De Leon. In that order too. I would like to see Salido more than anyone so we can compare his work with Gamboa's work.

 

Jhonny Gonzalez would be interesting...First one to land a big shot, and the fight ends.

 

He wont go near Mikey Garcia at this stage.
I feel in 18 months we will have the top 3 Featherweights as Juanma, Gamboa & Mikey Garcia...with Bob Arum unifying & collecting awesome $$$

 

Garcia from NYC...the Puerto Rican with like 5 fights??

 

Well, Hasegawa is going to fight Gonzalez so neither of those fights next. Not Caballero, especially after the Litzau fight though Arum might see this as the perfect chance to get the fight and say Caba only lost because he moved up to 130. I wouldn't mind a De Leon rematch, he has certainly undergone a bit of a rejuvination since the first fight with three good wins. But I can see Juanma stopping him again, probably in about eight rounds. Rojas could be a dangerous fight for him, though he's unproven, his counter-punching style could give Lopez problems, but he has been inactive and his only good win is over Takahiro Aoh(he also has a win over Hector Velasquez, but he usually loses to top fighters). And it looks like Gamboa and John will be fighting each other so Ponce De Leon or Rojas for me.

 

Nah man, he means Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia...Mex-American kid from Cali. He is is trained by Robert "Grandpa" Garcia, and he's related to him as well i believe.

 

Salido or Barros, then the Gamboa-John winner. Rojas would be ideal, but it ain't happening.
