Gerry "FEARLESS" Peñalosa tells JuanMa:"Be ready"

WBO bantamweight champion Gerry "Fearless" Peñalosa formally sealed a grand showdown with WBO super bantamweight titlist Juan Manuel "Juanma" Lopez after easily punching his way to a lopsided unanimous decision victory over Mexican German Meraz in the main event of the other night's "Battle of the Best Bantamweights" card witnessed by a jampacked crowd at the Cebu Coliseum. The official scores were 100-89, 100-89, and 99-90.

Peñalosa immediately called on Lopez moments after he got out of the ring, telling his Puerto Rican rival to train hard and be ready for their April 25 battle in San Juan, Puerto Rican.

"Be ready," Peñalosa quickly replied when asked on his message to Lopez. "It's been my ultimate dream to win three world titles in different weight divisions. If I can achieve that, then maybe it's time for me to consider retirement," added the former WBC super flyweight champion.

;)

I think he should consider retiring now. JuanMa is too young, too strong, and too prime.

Biting more than he can chew here.
Sure he was good back in his days.
Juan ma-Gerry
:jabbing:

Haven't actually seen Gerry fight since he stopped Gonzales, but unless he has shown to have gotten much older since then noone should have anything bad to say about this fight. Juan Ma is a beast but Penalosa is still tough as nails and a big step up.

Might just be one leap too many for Penalosa.I think Lopez should jump on him right out of the gate...the longer it goes though,Gerry is one of the craftiest guys around.Just dont think he can match Lopezs strengh.He'll have to weather a furious beginning to bout but chances get better down the stretch I believe,Lopez is a force,but still a bit raw and green.Penalosa had better invest in that early body work.

Is like i said before , in this Division the only who can give good fight is Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez , to me probably Penalosa just want a good purse for the retirement , he know what would happen , Juanma Lopez is a Devastator in this division.............is a young with hungry that want try to liquidate to all in this division.................

Might have to change his name from Fearless to teethless. I literally give him no chance against Lopez. He's got everything going against them. If this fight is even competitive than I think the fix might be in.

Will be a great fight...JuanMa should win but he can not in anyway sleep on Gerry or he will end up with a loss for sre

I think you forgot the real king at 122, Celestino "THE TOWERING INFERNO" Caballero... He's the current 122 WBA and IBF champion and he will give anyone at 122 a very difficult fight...

JuanMa is young and being young also means inexperience and raw... Peñalosa is old and it also means very experienced and a master boxer...

There you go again with your "no chance" prediction... Haven't you learned from PAC-Hoya??

And you think Gerry has no advantage at all, how about experience and boxing skills??

Gerry is too good not to give some chance, but it hink that 122 is just too big for him. His last attempt at that weight was far from succesful. I wish him the best and think he can go rounds with Juanma, and Lopez will learn a lot fighting Gerry.

Ahh yes... looking forward to the next JuanMa fight. Actually, I'm hoping JuanMa gets in a bit more work than the last three fights. These 1-rounders do nothing to get him the big fight experience he needs.

There is no doubt at all that Lopez is in his prime. If he loses is cuz he turned out to be overrated. Not cuz he's old and shot like De La Hoya was.
