Pelenchin targets Juanma! [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=+1][/SIZE][/FONT] IBF/WBA super bantamweight champion champion Celestino Caballero has demanded a showdown with WBO champion Juan Manuel Lopez. “I understand the business of boxing and I know that Lopez’ promoter has a plan for him that involves everybody but me,†said Caballero. “But if what I believe is true, Lopez wants more than easy fights; he wants to be the best in the world. The only way he can leave the super bantamweight division as the best is to beat me. There’s a lot of talk of Lopez being the next Wilfredo Gomez. Well, Lopez has to remember that Gomez didn’t move up to featherweight until he cleaned out everyone at 122 pounds. I guess we’ll find out soon if Lopez has ‘Bazooka’s fighting spirit. I traveled to Canada to beat Molitor, to Venezuela to beat (Lorenzo) Parra, Thailand to beat (Somsak) Sithchatchawal, and California to beat (Daniel) Ponce De Leon. To be a true world champion you must fight around the world, even if it means going to your opponent’s backyard. I will go to Puerto Rico to fight Lopez with no problem, and by the end of the fight, the fans will be cheering me when my hand is raised.†Via fightnews. WOW, Thought's?
Interesting. I would love to see how Juanma would fight someone that big. Obviously Caballero does not fear Juanma and is very confident! I hope this shit gets made!
Juanma already said he can't keep waiting for Vazquez or Marquez. Caballero is a unified champion. Only Arum can stop this from happening if he comes up with some bullshit about Caballero is not known or doesn't bring anything to the table.
