de leon thats it for a 4 or 5 year career leon is overated anyways bro , i never said gamboa has fought anyone i just mean juanma is not much better and yes he has accomplished more, his career started 3 years before gamboa's what do you expect
What has Juanma done??? Well, his victories against Penaloza and Ponce De Leon were very impressive. I think he should fight Caballero. I think Caballero will be easier then many people think. But I guess Arum has a different plan. The fight with Gamboa could happen next year when Juanma goes up to 126. That is if Gamboa doesn't move up to 130...... I will like to see Gamboa against this PuertoRican guy that just signed with Golden Boy. His name is Orlando Cruz. Not a big star, but age and physiques are very similar with Gamboa. I think it could be a fun fight. But I think Gamboa should win. He also could fight Jorge Solis, who only lost was against Manny Pacquiao. But I think Solis will definitely take this one.
I bet you anything Gammboa has at least 200 rounds of experience more than Juanma. But that information is never recorded
Yeah I can't wait to see if Juanma is the star everyone expect him to be. But I understand if Arum don't want to risk him when there could be a big millions fight against Marquez around the corner. But I cant complaint. From June 2008 to June 2009 Juanma fought 5 tittle fights. Not too bad.
Even this african guy that Juanma is fighting would be the best fighter in Gamboa record or at least the second best.
Sadly the with Penalosa was supposed to be no tuneup, but he beat Penalosa so bad that the figth became a tune up. The Lontchi fight was supposed to be a tune up but became a good fight for experience because of Lontchi difficult style and his experience as a amateur fighter with olimpics pedigree.
At least this Roger Mtagwa wil will have time to train and will not came in one or two weeks notice and not in his natural weight. He is the type of fighter that has a lot of loses but is because He is called to replace fighter in about one or two weeks of notice and in one or two divisions above him. He could give Lopez about 4-6 rounds of experience knowing that he could fight a well trained in his weight Mtagwa. I still remeber the fight with him and Villa, that fight was a clasic.
I wish Lopez gets a new promoter but it won't happen. I said in other posts that It's Arum that want Lopez to face journeymens after journeymens. Lopez is not afraid of Cab and i wish that fight happen and i'll bet Lopez would win.
Ys Cotto vs Caballero wuld be awesome. Lopez vs Mtgawa woul be only a nice only because would be a nice KO.
It's obvious the plan is to run to Gamboa/JuanMa so expect both guys to get the cream puffs til the big battle.
