Medina Quits in Fear of Juan Manuel Lopez Onslaught

Juan Manuel Lopez TKO1 Rocky Medina:  WBO 122-pound titlist Juan Manuel Lopez (24-0 22 KOs) destroyed Rocky Medina while barely landing any real punches.  Hopefully, "Juanma" will get some real competition soon becuase he had none last night in Las Vegas. Medina basically quit after getting knocked down the first time.  Medina got up but barely was punched before he was on the mat again.  This sequence repeated again and the referee stopped the fight at the 1:38 mark of the first round.  Juanma smirked to the camera afterwards, seemingly not able to believe it was so easy. Medina, of Argentina was there only for the paycheck.  Lopez landed only nine punches versus one for Medina according to Compubox.  One of the HBO commentators even joked that this will be Medina’s last trip to Vegas. Let's hope so. source: hbo ppv
