Its in the Philippines. man this should be a good fight. Gerry did well in his last fight and i think golden boy promotions must have been happy with him. Gonzalez was unlucky in his last fight. This will be a good match up imo its for the WBO bantamweight crown. Who do you rekon wins this one? Gerry is getting on a bit and Jhonny still does have many years ahead of him.
Gonzalez should win, too big and strong. Just got more offensive weapons than Penalosa at this weight.
I agree but you never know, it was the same thing with Vasquez. I'm really rooting for Gerry.Quote:

It took a guy with the srenght of an ox,good power and a HUGE heart to prevent Johnny from putting on one of the boxing clinics of the year(Vazquez) Penelosa does not have what it takes to win and I favour Johnny.He has great reach,excllent use of distance with the jab,very under rated power and is a good all around fighter.
A good jab, with longer reach and good power indeed will be a big problem for Gerry, that much I'm pretty sure. If Jhonny can stay away from Gerry, he'd be a winner but if Gerry can catch him often, he'll (Gerry) have some chance.
Penalosa was great champion. But his time has pass. Gonzalez by brutal knock out. To much size and power. Bad fight for Penalosa
Jhonny's my boy, he's totally got this one, 2007 he rules Bantam and Super Bantam divisions VIVA LA RAZA!!
;D Care to put a wager on that ;DQuote:

So what exactly are we betting on?Quote:

penalosa. the jmm of the bantamweights. he is boxing himself.
plus he never been KOed. gonzales was dropped in his last fight.
and yes penalosa can punch. much more if its a counter.
and if its gona end up as a decision then i'll say its going to take place
at the phillipines so... johnnys only chance. cuts. stoppage due to cuts.
Penalosa is 34. Gonzalez is 26 (I think). Penalosa best days were as a Super Flyweight. He's going up to Bantamweight to face a fighter who fought his last fight as a Junior Featherweight. And carried his power with him. Gonzalez will be to strong for Penalosa. And while Penlaosa is a great counter puncher I don't see him hurting Gonzalez. This fight will not end good for Penalosa. It's familiar situation for Jhonny. Former Super Flyweight champion Mark Johnson taught he could beat Gonzalez too. A brutal beating showed him other wise.Quote:

I really do think Johnny will blow him out of there inside of 4 rds....
