    The fight will take place in Puerto Rico, on the 25th of April. What are your thoughts?

    Great fight, Froch-Taylor is also on that night, can't wait!!!

    I think Juanma will take this but it won't be easy. Penalosa is a big step up from the guys he has been blowing out in one round.

    Either Penlosa runs him so close and we all realise this kid is not the finished article yet, or JuanMa blows Penelosa away that everyone else he has been fighting lately and we wait until he fights Cabellero/Vasquez/Marquez to prove his talent.

    Personally I think Penelosa is sturdy and crafty enough to last the distance. The fact it's in Puerto Rico and that JuanMa is the bigger, younger guy probably harms his chances in actually winning the decision, but JuanMa needs some rounds and needs to face some adversity.

    Hopefully we will learn a lot more about Lopez in this fight.
