    I'll try, but i'll put the likely answers in brackets. Hopefully you can get some more honest and useful replies than the ones i provide.

    What did you learn from the loss to Lopez?
    ( I have to work harder in the gym)

    Why do you think you lost the fight?
    ( I wasn't properly focused, i need to train harder)

    Were you surprised by his power?
    (No, not really. I was caught off guard. I really wasn't that hurt. If i trained properly and was more focused i would have won)

    Who do you want to fight next?
    (It really doesn't matter. If i train hard and focus i can beat anyone)

    Ponce DeLeon and his mexican sore loser fans still claim Juanma Lopez is a fake that merely landed a lucky punch and demand an immediate rematch. :lol: Ask him why a guy who was knocked out in the first round deserves an immediate rematch.:crafty:

    Have you been humbled by the humiliating loss in humilating fashion?

    Which loss has been tougher for him do deal with/come back from?

    You held the WBO title for a long time. What is the feeling like now that you are no longer a champion/titlist?

    Are you eager to get right back into the title picture?

    Have you made any changes in your camp or your corner after the loss?

    You've reportedly stated that you would like a rematch with Rey Bautista, who is now ranked #2 by the WBO, and have told Eric Gomez you'd be willing to fight him in the Phillipines. Is that correct?

    Do you think you will be able to repeat your (quick) knockout of him in a rematch?

    If you fight him in the Phillipines, do you think you will have to knock him out again in a rematch, or are you confident you can win a decision there?

    How/why were you able to knock him out so easily last year?

    Have you seen any of Bautista's fights since your victory over him? If so, do you think he's the same fighter or that he has improved at all?

    Do you ultimately want a rematch with Lopez? If so, when would you like to fight him again?

    Why were unable to be more competitive against him?

    Was he better than you expected?

    What can you do differently in a rematch?

    Do you have to make significant changes in your approach/preparation/gameplan in order to beat him?

    If you want to get topical:

    You fought in the 2000 Olympics for Mexico. What was that experience like for you? How did that help you grow as a fighter? What was it like to be apart of an event like that?

    Have you followed this year's Mexican team, or any of the boxing at the Olympics this year?

    Do you have any relationship with any fighter or coaches from the national team?

    Mexico is not considered one of the elite national teams. Would you like to see that changed/improved? In what ways can/should the Mexican amateur program be bettered?

    What do you think is better for the development a younger boxer, to compete in international competition or turn pro and learn the pro game earlier?

    Lol, fuck athletes boring mother fuckers. I would only add in the surprised power question that De leon will say some fucker who he knocked out hit 50 times harder. Why people interview athletes is beyond me. I can count on my hand how many times you are glad you heard what the athlete said.

    actually Ponce seems like a nice guy. He actually said that he was completely ready for this fight 100% and made no excuses. You'll read the rest Monday
