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.
NO... coz I think this fight will end in a KO/TKO... The officials won't matter at all...Quote:

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.Quote:

BTW, was Killa banned?
I'll take your word for that...;) No worries at all if the ref is Puerto Rican and 1 judge is Puerto Rican and 2 others were American (Is Puerto Rico an American territory? :lolhaha: )Quote:

I dunno if Killa was banned... :confused:

The nationality of the ref and judges will be the least of Peñalosa's worries tomorrow night.Quote:

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

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.Quote:

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.
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
yea he can, after he's dropped by either a brutal right hook or a huge straight left ;D it'll go something like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 YOU'RE OUT!Quote:
