    I saw all of Tito's fights. Even went to a few at MSG. He had one of the best deadliest left hooks. I am saying Juanma has a chance to duel with the best he is still relatively early on his career so it is not out of the question.
    He is certainly on his way after his biggest win last fight vs the tough marquez.

    It's still too early to make that call.

    Watch some boxing, dude. Juanma has been way more rocked and out on his feet than Gamboa.

    Very possibly no longer undefeated, although it depends on the matchmaking.

    I don't even place all that high a premium on a boxer's zero, but have seen enough of Lopez both on television and live in person to know that he isn't as invincible as some of his fans want to believe...physically or mentally...

    My seats for Lopez-Mtagwa provided a perfect, close-up view...and as tempting as it may be to write that off as an "off night", there's no mistaking the panicked look on his face at times (which may or may not have shown up on TV...I still haven't re-watched the fight since then). That speaks to a dark place in his mind that someone could very easily exploit down the line. It might not be Salido, and it might not even be Gamboa...but I'd be surprised if ultimately someone doesn't completely tar and feather him in the ring at some point and utterly break his will.

    He did look very impressive vs Marquez and took some big shots and handled them nicely. seems like he matured in the ring over his last few fights.
    Interesting fighter to watch uses both hands and still improving.
