That shot to the ribs was brutal no bullshit! I felt my body paralized when I saw the shot... :o

Slowly but surely Pilipinas as taking over the boxing world..... :)

hey mick i was wondering where you were man. I was rooting for gerry no doubt but I thought jonny would of won.

Both gerry and de leon prove me wrong last night, good win for both of them. Remember our debate about boom boom and de leon, i was backing up boom boom endlessly but I was mentioning how I didn't like goldenby for sending him against someone dangerous like de leon at this age. Although philippines won the cup, De Leon destroyed the philippines baby boy bautista before he can grow into a beast. Great 1 round stoppage for de leon. I hope he rematch Caballero and knocks him out, I really don't like Caballero's style.

I've been busy with work (that's a good thing) but I'm still here.
Sat. night watched the fights then we wen't bowling my girl and I and some friends....

It was again a great night for boxing and a great showing of the sport.

Who do you think the Philipines will defend against?
It can't be Thailand.

Maybe Japan?

I still don't know how the world cup of boxing works. I didn't even know the philippines won until boomboom lost. uhmm is the winners suppose to defend the cup or do they have a new tournement each year? If philippines is suppose to defend the cup, i wouldn't mind seeing them against any country but you know what I would love to see? I'd love to see puerto rico in this world cup scene. they always have good fighters too.

The Philippines team won the tourny so they will be defending the cup again...where or when who knows.

Congrats to Gerry, even though he beat my boy,

Let's give a little credit to Gonzalez though, he
was building momentum and starting to look really
sharp with 4 and 5 punch combinations.

All the credit in the world for that liver shot though
congrats to Gerry and the Philippines.

c'mon Gerry rematch in the Philippines.........

I was actually thinking that Gerry will be frustrated again during their fight. iT really seemed a gonzales fight.then all the sudden... boom.it was gerry's.

gotta give props to roach too, he pushed gerry to go to the body.

Maybe he is the new Steve Robinson :)

It was a joke ;D

If you know gerry personally, you will appreciate him more. The guy is so down to earth and very humble.

prophetic words from daniel ponce de leon but jhonny didn't listen. :)

[size=10pt]This is the reason De Leon is advising compatriot Jhonny Gonzalez to be as cunning as possible against Penalosa, who is targeting Gonzalez's World Boxing Organization bantamweight title.

"I would tell Jhonny to work the distance properly. He's a very opportunistic fighter and very sneaky," De Leon said. "He will counterpunch you every time you miss. Watch out for those counter punches." - GMANews.TV[/size]

I would not go as far as to call him another cinderella man....He was the underdog yes but when put into perspective.....He is a former world champion with a ton of experience and a decent resume and is more then capable of hanging with anyone....He has never been KO'd....He hung in with the younger De Leon in his last fight he hung the distance with one of the sports hottest fighters......

Gonzales was also having time making weight so he was not at 100% physically...........


An upset yes.....But not to an extreme

agree with daxx khan baldo did basiclly being unkown to make a big boom

he was;t no bum cause he gave de leon a hard time

but thinhg like most about this figt he was losing bad and he said that he will win by ko

and it happen

penalosa really trained hard in this fight. He was very, very hungry of a win. He actually lost his last two fights before his fight with gonzales.

Those were questionable losses. What amazes about Gerry is he never been floored to canvas.
