Fire Quinito gathers all the essential reading for Juan Manuel Lopez's impressive TKO win over Gerry Penalosa, to save you time to gather your thoughts about why BB Gandanghari was denied entry into a bar for cross-dressing.

Gabriel Montoya, Max Boxing: "Between rounds, the trainer of Penalosa, Freddie Roach told his charge that he was giving him one more round. He would have to knockout Lopez or come close or the fight would be over. However, Lopez had other plans as he jumped right on Penalosa at the start of the ninth, not allowing him to get in a desperation shot or any confidence. In fact, as the round wore on, Lopez began landing cleaner and cleaner shots. To his credit however, Penalosa took them well and responded every time he was hit. It was simply too lopsided with no chance of coming back and following the ninth round, Roach mercifully told his fighter he was stopping it, asked if that was okay, and his fighter responded in the affirmative."

Compubox Report: "Punching machine Lopez averaged nearly 50 punches LANDED per round vs. ultimate warrior Penalosa. Lopez’s 87 punches landed in round eight ranked #6 all time for all weight classes. Lopez set jr. featherweight records for most power punches landed in a round, 84 and thrown, 129- also in round eight."

Michael Rosenthal, The Ring: "The 36-year-old former two-time titleholder might’ve turned in the greatest performance in a lopsided loss in boxing history. The former titleholder took an astonishing amount of punishment from a naturally bigger man with crushing power yet continued to throw back and was ready to continue when the fight was stopped. The Filipino might be the toughest fighter in the world pound for pound. What a warrior! That said, his trainer, Freddie Roach, did the right thing by stopping the fight after the ninth round. Penalosa had taken enough punches and wasn’t going to win the fight."

The Sweet Science: "Juan Manuel Lopez was the winner in the main event of a card at the Ruben Rodriguez Coliseum in Bayamon, Puerto Rico on Saturday night but equal, or perhaps more congratulations has to be showered upon the man who cannot by any means be called a loser, Gerry Penalosa. JuanMa, as he’s been tagged by fight fans who see him on the short list of next gen superstars, threw power shots like he was getting a bonus for every one hurled, but the Filipino refused to buckle under. For nine rounds, the 36-year-old former super flyweight and bantamweight titlist swallowed JuanMa bombs, 444 in total, and he didn’t hit the floor, or look for a soft place to land. Lord knows, he had every right to, as the Puerto Rican crusher unleashed 1,020 punches enroute to a TKO win after nine round had elapsed."

Ted Sares, East Side Boxing: "Juanma simply overwhelmed the courageous and steak-tough Filipino to win the WBO super bantamweight title as the partisan crowd roared its approval throughout. While 'Fearless' (now 54-6-2) landed some solid counters and engaged in just enough fierce exchanges to stay in the fight, he was given the worst beat down of his long career. Finally, trainer Freddie Roach had no alternative but to stop the fight between the ninth and tenth stanzas. Indeed, it was painful to watch the old warrior sustain so many blows both to the body and head, but by the same token, he was in against a shooting star of the sport--and only shooting stars land 80 power punches in one round, particularly on a pro like Penalosa."

Tim Starks, The Queensberry Rules: "[Penalosa] just was in against a younger, stronger, bigger, faster opponent, one who showed new dimensions -- a stellar work rate, body punching, defense against a savvy opponent. [Lopez] outpunched Penalosa, which should be no surprise, but he also outboxed him. He is probably a top-20 pound-for-pound fighter now, and he far exceeded my expectations for what he could do with an experienced foe like Penalosa. He deserves a shot at either Israel Vazquez or Rafael Marquez, the division's top men, when both of them recover from their wars against each other. And as good as both are, I think Lopez beats either of them. He's that good. He's a superstar in every way, and if you don't love him, I don't know what's wrong with you."
