JuanMa Lopez: I would like to thank God for the victory and it was an honor to fight in this great arena against a great champion. It was a difficult fight and I got hit on the 4th. But so what? It showed I can take a punch. Tonight I join the elite in this division and I would like to fight the best. The best are Gamboa and me. But before Gamboa, if they want a re-match, I will give him a re-match. I talked to him during the fight as per instructions from my corner but I cannot repeat what I said to him in this room. I did not KO him, but I took his heart out. He was a great fighter, but he should have shown me more. your take?
I think that has to be a misquote.. his corner cant be that stupid to tell him to talk to the other fighter and risk getting his jaw broken into pieces.. but hey maybe they're that stupid :hat
Nah, Tony Weeks didn't bless him with the physical gifts he has, and God didn't take a point away from him.
If Weeks doesnt take a point away people here wouldve said that he shouldve taken a point away but if he stops the fight to get a point away then weeks saved him.
i though Juanma lost his head a bit and got a little wreckless in the 4th and 5th rounds. His machismo is gonna get him knocked out sooner or later imo.
