Lopez vs. Luevano, Gamboa and blasts Caballero; Celestino fires back at Juanma
January 9th, 2010
By Peter Wells: Puerto Rican fighter Juan Manuel Lopez has been criticized badly for moving up for featherweight to fight Steven Luevano instead of fighting the Super Bantamweight number #1 Celestino Caballero.
Lopez is the current World Boxing Organization Super Bantamweight champion while Caballero holds the WBA and IBF titles. Lopez has had plenty to say about Caballero, and he better prove his trash talk right by fighting Celestino next.
So Lopez is looking forward to fighting Gamboa despite keep pushing the date back from June to next year.
First thing Caballero is number 1 at Super Bantamweight ahead of Lopez. Just because Lopez has moved up a division he thinks he owns it. Of course the fans and HBO want it, no one wants to see him destroy nobody’s anymore, and the way he’s trash talking makes people want to see him get a beating.
Caballero is no doubt going to make sure he gets this fight, but also the fans will as well, after Lopez saying Caballero isn’t in his class it has enraged many fans and now Lopez will have nowhere to hide. This fight needs to happen, and Caballero doesn’t have to prove himself, he’s the 8th best boxer pound for pound and nicely ahead of Juanma.

Caballero vs. Lopez would have been a great fight at 122. They are both great champions. Caballero has been champion longer and Lopez has been more spectacular knocking out tougher competition. Caballero talked a lot too and when he had his chance to make this fight, he requested too much money. That’s why the fight didnt happen. I know this is a business, but Caballero out-smarted himself. I hope he goes up in weight to 126 and see him in good fights there.
Well not prospect but champion. (TYPO)
Just because Caballero has two belts doesnt mean that he is better than Lopez. Lopez has fought the better opposition and has really blown through alot of tough game fighters. Theres a reason why he is the hot prospect and not caballero.
If he’s got problems making weight why not agree a fight at a higher catch weight – it seems a more honest retort than to simply refuse it?
im a 100% fan of juanma. i got his back all the way. but he needs to fight this cat to get it over with. i agree they both on the same level. prove yourself with this fight juanma, do it!!
