    exactly what I was thinking. He could be a good one, but it seems so hard to get ready for the elites at 122...there's no zab judah type contender.

    If Juanma's chin can hold up he should win this.De Leon is crude as **** but has excellent power and has a good workrate but he can definitely be outboxed.Lopez may even get the KO

    I have only seen Juan ma fight once and it was against a fairly bad opponent. He was not able to knock the guy out and did not take risks even though the other guy could not hurt him. I think Juan ma will be to afraid to do anything against De Leon and if he does he will probably be KOd.

    de leon's power punches are slow and predictable. a fighter with speed and good defense will have no problem evading the strong punches. de leon's faster punches are pitty pat as seen in his previous fight.

    i think juanma can frustrate de leon by making him miss constantly.

    Great matchup and it's nice to see Lopez taking this fight. As long as his chin isn't weak and his stamina isn't too bad he should win.

    A fight between 2 duckers???? PDL ducks Penalosa, Juanma Ducks Concepcion. This will be a good match up.

    Both PDL and Lopez would knock out Concepcion.. that's for sure. You still can't admit that Concepcion went through hell to beat a C level brawler. :lol:

    We will have to find out. Concepcion will train under Roach on his next fight, He'll be better. Ponce is Hopeless, He's not gonna improve. Juanma is overhyped. I pick PDL by KO.

    JuanMa is the better boxer but we will find out if he is the better fighter. I am leaning toward him because DeLeon's technique has looked painfully bad in some fights despite winning.

    Boom Boom Bautista was also trained by Roach.. look what happened to him when he stepped up. :D I see the same thing happening to Concepcion.
