(IB-January 24, 2010) – Juan Manuel Lopez “Juanma” Stepped into the ring with the not-so-easy task of defeating WBO featherweight champion Steven Luevano. Lopez, the WBO junior featherweight champion moved up in weight after having difficulty making the 122lb. weight limit.
The weight issue was evident in Lopez’ previous contest when he was paired against Roger Mtagwa from Tanzanian. Lopez dominated early in the fight but wore down, barley salvaging a win, not the case last night at the Madison Square Garden in New York.
Luevano, fighting out of La Puente, California came up short from successfully defending his title for the sixth time. Luevano had held the belt since July of 2007 when he defeated Nicky Cook in Greenwich, London.(more)

I was glad to read this story, so many writers made it seem like Gamboa did something spectacular. He'll need to show me something other than beating set up fighters.
Gamboa better stay away from Juan Lopez. Gamboa is all show and tell, nothing but hype. He won't make it against any serious contender.
