    The Bobfather: "Everything else is going well. We are looking to fill in the dates for the three most exciting fighters in boxing, Juan Manuel Lopez, Yuri Gamboa, and Edwin Valero. The Valero fight, when it takes place, will be against Lamont Peterson. Juan Manuel is going to fight Barnabe Conception in the Phillipines, and Yuri Gamboa is going to fight Caballero. The point is you've got to make fights. In other words, people say Caballero is a really good fight. He is, and that's why we're doing the fight. I really have tremendous confidence in the fighters that fight for Top Rank, but you have to make good fights." http://www.boxingtalk.com/pag/article.php?aid=19377

    Why would Juanma go to Philippines for his next fight? He said that he would be fine fighting on the undercard of the Cotto fight in Yankee Stadium.

    I'm a little confused about that. But otherwise, sounds like an interesting few months and thanks for the link.

    Gamboa will look like a midget next to caballero. Tough fight for him if Caballero uses his height and reach well.

    I'd give JuanMa mad credit for taking the Concepcion fight in the PI, being that he always fights in PR or MSG.

    tough fights for all opponents. Although i still think Juan Ma is running from Caballero. I dont understand why. I think JML destroys him and gains alot of credibility in the process.

    nobody knows they just hear something and run here to post it with no comfirmation, i really think not even the fighters or the promoters themselves know yet.. they're just putting scenarios outthere and when they have something concrete we'll see a press conference

    I would have preferred Juanma vs Caballero first, even though Bernabe is a great opponent, Celestino would be better suited for future arguments. PI vs PR is turning quite interesting lately.

    I highly doubt JuanMa will fight Bernaba in the PI.

    Yep, I don't see that happening and much less seeing Lampley or Emmanuel in PI. No offense for the Philippines, but is way too far away for Juanma, who loves the support of his followers.
