Re: Gerry "FEARLESS" Peñalosa tells JuanMa:"Be ready"
Juanma on weight; vows KO!
http://fightnews.com/wp-content/uploads/juanma1.jpg
WBO junior featherweight champion Juan Manuel ‘Juanma’ Lopez (24-0, 22 KOs) is all smiles as he easily made the 30 day weight limit for his April 25th showdown with WBO bantamweight champion Gerry Peñalosa (54-6-2, 36 KOs). The 30 day minimum weight requirement was 140.3 pounds. Lopez scaled 134 which is just 12 pounds over the 122 pound contracted weight limit with still about a month to go until the official weigh-in. Peñalosa has never been stopped inside the distance in 62 professional bouts. Lopez looks to become the first to TKO or KO Peñalosa. “I’m hoping I can stop him by the 5th or 6th round,” said Lopez. The bout titled ‘Champion vs. Champion’ will be promoted by PR Best Boxing (Ivan & Peter Rivera) & Top Rank. The site for the fight will be the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. HBO will televise. Tickets can be purchased by phone at 787-792-5000.

It think Penalosa will be tough all the way but I think Lopez will get him late!

Re: Gerry "FEARLESS" Peñalosa tells JuanMa:"Be ready"
IMO, JuanMa will commit some mistakes due to his inexperience and due to the mounting pressure to look very good against the aging veteran... the pressure to KO Gerry and the pressure to perform well infront of his countrymen will push JuanMa to make some mistakes...
Mistakes that Peñalosa will surely capitalize...

Re: Gerry "FEARLESS" Peñalosa tells JuanMa:"Be ready"
Peñalosa: "JuanMa will go down..."
WBO bantamweight king and now super bantamweight challenger Gerry Peñalosa said he will give Juan Manuel “JuanMa” Lopez his first taste of defeat when they clash on April 25.
Peñalosa said he is so confident of his chances against Lopez, the reigning WBO super bantamweight champion, that he wanted to fight JuanMa right away.
"I can fight tomorrow if necessary. So I feel good for what will be the most important fight of my career,” said the Filipino boxer in a report by Puerto Rican news daily El Nuevo Dia.
The 25-year-old Lopez remains unbeaten in 24 fights. Twenty-two of those fights were won by knock out.
Peñalosa, on the other hand, is a veteran of 62 fights. He won 54 of those matches and lost six times in his 20-year boxing career.
The two boxers will meet up at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez, Bayamon in Lopez’s home country Puerto Rico.
The 36-year-old Peñalosa said he is excited to show off the results of his training with coach Freddie Roach.
“Freddie is a demanding trainer and well disciplined. During the morning, he works with me with my preparation for the fight, and in the evening he works with Manny Pacquiao. That has worked very well so far and he will be in my corner. I feel confident that I can beat Lopez," he said.

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

Penalosa has a lot of experience, that's about it (that's a good thing, no question, and sufficient). Juanma has so many skills, but since he ko's everybody, the public hasn't seen them much. Juanma has power in both hands, great defense, and great everything. He simply has too much going for him to lose at any distance. And he is clearly a very motivated fighter who wants the big fights and proud of his heritage in terms of the Rican greats who came before him. Lopez will outclast Penalosa, whether in one round or twelve. Watch.

Yahooo...Gerry to have ROACH at his corner in Puerto Rico fight
Peñalosa to have Roach at his corner in Puerto Rico title fight
04/23/2009 | 09:32 PM
MANILA, Philippines – After Manny Pacquiao, it’s Freddie Roach’s turn to be a no-show at the Wild Card gym in the coming days.
The world’s best trainer leaves for Puerto Rico Thursday night to be at the corner of Filipino Gerry Peñalosa as he takes on unbeaten Juan Manuel Lopez in a 12-round bout pitting two World Boxing Organization (WBO) champions at the Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
Roach will still oversee the six-round sparring schedule of Manny Pacquiao in the afternoon before he departs for the six-hour flight to the Northeastern Caribbean country.
He’ll be away for at least three days as Roach returns in Los Angeles Sunday evening.
Michael Moorer, conditioning coach Alex Ariza and second assistant Buboy Fernandez are expected to take care of Pacquiao’s training while Roach is away.
Roach already missed the press conference of the Peñalosa-Lopez fight held Wednesday in Puerto Rico.
He said Peñalosa, the reigning WBO bantamweight champion has his work perfectly cut out for him.
“We already have our plan for what is going to be a great fight. We know Lopez is a tough guy who starts strong and fast," said the three-time Trainer of the Year of the Puerto Rican native, unbeaten in 24 fights (22 KOs) and current WBO super-flyweight title holder.
“He doesn’t have a lot of weaknesses but we have seen several things and we will try to work on those during the fight," he said.
“Lopez is going to come forward and be aggressive, so Gerry will have to use his experience. I have no doubt that as the rounds go on, Lopez will start to slow down and then we will get him."
Peñalosa said, “I know that if I win this fight, a lot of people will be surprised. But it makes no difference to me. I’m coming to win and that’s all I’m thinking about."
A former World Boxing Council (WBC) flyweight champion, the 36-year old Peñalosa, 11 years older than Lopez, sports a 54-6 record with 36 KOs.
He trained for more than a month at the Wild Card gym before heading to Puerto Rico at the start of the month. – GMANews.TV
When Gerry lost to Ponce de Leon,Roach was busy with ODLH in PUERTO RICO.This time Freddie has to find time to be with gerry in his fight vs. LOPES. For my own personal reasons,i am now inclined to believe PENALOSA WILL WIN IN PUERTO RICO.
-
Re: Yahooo...Gerry to have ROACH at his corner in Puerto Rico fight
Great news for Gerry. I think the longer the fight goes, the better chance for Gerry of winning the fight.
-
Re: Yahooo...Gerry to have ROACH at his corner in Puerto Rico fight
This video interview of mine is my personal reason why i think Gerry has a good chance of winning in Puerto Rico.List en intently ,Freddie was talking about why Gerry lost to PONCE DE LEON.With Roach in his corner it will be a different story i guess.

Of course he's not a great yet. He is in the early statges of his career. But he is establishing his legacy, and one step was his destruction of de Leon (no one had ever done that to de Leon, not even Penalosa). Next step is beating Penalosa. After that, Juanma should be put in the ring with all the best at that weight. He can handle them, trust me.

Re: Gerry "FEARLESS" Peñalosa tells JuanMa:"Be ready"
The following are the officials for the Gerry-JuanMa fight:
"The referee for the fight will be José H. Rivera of Puerto Rico, and the judges will be William Lurch of Illinois, Michael Pernack of Florida and Nelson Vázquez of Puerto Rico."
The referee from Puerto Rico and one judge from Puerto Rico... hmmnnn...;)

Lets see my friend Pacstraight ;D , the only thing that i don't really like is , What Freddie Roach commented " We have our plan , but Juanma doesn't have a lot of weakness , but we have seen several things and we will TRY to work on those during the fight ".........That word of TRY , to me have the feeling of uncertainty.............

Re: Yahooo...Gerry to have ROACH at his corner in Puerto Rico fight
....yea but juanma has himself in the ring. I like gerry too guys but man i think he's gonna get a beatdown.

Re: Yahooo...Gerry to have ROACH at his corner in Puerto Rico fight
Im pulling for Gerry, but this is a dangerous fight for him. I just cant see his old legs keeping him out of harms way too long, though he has a very good chin so who knows. But, I think this will be a case of him being too tough for his own good and will have to be saved from himself in the middle to late rounds.

I'm sure there HAVE been. Nothing uncommon to the sport. I can't think of any off the top of my head. However, maybe I'm biased, but the fights I've been to here in PR have been pretty well reffed and judged.

But hey... you can always use it as an excuse as to why Gerry got KTFO'ed.

there have been bad calls as well, one i remember was the Santos/Margarito II fight, i saw it in person in Bayamon, and i wasn't the only one there that thought Antonio was winning, and well although i don't argue it so much, cause he seemed ready to quit, Cotto/Corley comes to mind

Santos-Margarito I'll agree with (I was there, too). But Cotto-Corley.... no way. Corley was on his way to an ugly KTFO loss. The ref only saved him from further pain.

that's how i saw it, Corley didn't really want anymore of Cotto, he just put on a show so no one would call him a quitter but honestly that's all i think he really wanted to do

Re: Gerry "FEARLESS" Peñalosa tells JuanMa:"Be ready"
Gerry should consider retiring for good if he loses this one. I don't think he will be going anywhere that far win or lose after this fight. 122 top dogs are just too much for him. I see this as a farewell fight for him.

Re: Gerry "FEARLESS" Peñalosa tells JuanMa:"Be ready"
just reviewed some videos of LOPEZ fights........i say whew!!!
Indeed a tall order for our boxer Gerry Penalosa.Nevertheless,i still put my vote on a Gerry UPSET WIN.

Re: Gerry "FEARLESS" Peñalosa tells JuanMa:"Be ready"
It’s hard to find a fan or boxing writer who will give Penalosa much of a shot of upsetting Lopez.
Maybe it’s because at 36, Penalosa is 11 years older than Lopez. Perhaps it’s the belief that the Filipino veteran’s 62-bout pro career, which has spanned 20 years, has taken its toll on his body.
If the perception is that Penalosa is an “old man,” fans who tune into the Boxing After Dark broadcast might be in for a surprise.
Penalosa (54-6-2, 36 KOs) is one of the sport’s most well-preserved world-class veterans. The Philippines-born southpaw is a complete fighter with skill, technique and athleticism that is on par with elite advanced-age fighters like Bernard Hopkins, Juan Manuel Marquez and Shane Mosley.
Penalosa also possesses a warrior’s heart that matches those pound-for-pound entrants, and he truly believes his combination of skill, experience and courage will be enough to upset the young KO artist.
“Lopez has never met a boxer like me,” Penalosa said. “He’s never fought anyone with my experience. I think he’s had easy opponents until now. This time is for real. He’s fighting a real a fighter. I’m a real veteran of boxing.”
That’s an understatement.
Penalosa believes he can beat Lopez in a number of ways.
“I will surprise him,” Penalosa said of Lopez. “We have a plan A, B and C. I could fight him for 15 rounds if I had to.”
Many hardcore fans and knowledgeable boxing writers don’t expect Penalosa to last 12 rounds.
However, Penalosa has never been knocked out or even knocked down in his pro career.
And a true veteran like Penalosa can never be counted out.
;D
