http://www.fightnews.com/fightnews_2...uxDjEBsbv.html

Looks like Golden Boy Promotions will hold their second "World Cup of Boxing" on August 11 at the Arco Arena in Sacramento. The "Mexico vs Philippines" showdown will feature WBO bantamweight champion Jhonny Gonzalez (34-5, 29 KOs) against former world champion Gerry Penalosa (51-6-2, 34 KOs), WBO super bantamweight champion Daniel Ponce De Leon (34-5, 29 KOs) against Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista (23-0, 17 KOs) and Miguel "Mickey Mouse" Roman (21-0, 15 KOs) against a Filipino opponent to be named.



No doubt I am going to that! Can't wait.

Rey "boom2x" Bautista vs Daniel Ponce DeLeon is a must see event.

I too can't wait!

WoW I have never scene straw weights before. I hope they have some. I want to see how quik a 105 lber is.

Yeah, I'm curious too.

MEX vs THAI

I wonder who won?

I remember last year "Mano O Mano", PHIL sweept MEX 5-0.

This year "The Battle Of Cebu" PHIL 4, Indonesea 0, MEX 1

too bad the guys who won the first world cp of boxing he did are like 74 by now


wtf did that take so long for???


also i thought it was tournement style, he should have done like puertorico vs phillipines and then do the winner vs mexico but im guessing all it really is is a name he puts on mexican fights which he knows he can make money off, unless he did do that

btw, first event was mexico thailand, and i THINK it was 4-0 mexico, but it may have been 3-1, it was like 7 years ago and i barley remember

Mexico beat Thailand

Fernando Monteil outpointed Phosawan.
Jhonny Gonzalez TKO'd Ratanachai Sor Vorapin.
Daniel Ponce De Leon decisioned Sod Looknongyangtoy.
Hugo Fidel Cazares KO'd Kaichon Sor Vorapin.

Those were the only 4 that counted and only the first three were on TV. The only Thai to get a win that night was Terdsak, and he won by split decision in an 8 round opening bout.

This is De La Hoya's personal project. He was basically solely responsible for this and he met with all the fighters and everything. I think it was a venue that caused the delay, then of course he started fighting again so he got preoccupied but Penosala - Gonzalez and Bautista - De Leon make it well worth the wait imo.

I thought it was one of the best cards that year. Gonzalez and De Leon are both fighting again and this time are more evenly matched. Can't wait.
