Rey Bautista...

Ive been feeling so sorry for the guy, i always thought as soon as the match up with De Leon was mentioned it was a bad move for him. De Leon, a man hitting his prime with a lot of power was not the best move and I really feel that Rey surely did the wrong this taking the fight.

So now I feel this is were we will see the real boom boom? I think the kids got a lot of future left in him at 21 and i really do think he can push on and get a lot of good wins in and really get some experience at the higher level and push the top men and win a world title.

I think his downfall was taking the fight far too early. I really do feel he is capable of picking up the pieces though. Who do you think his next fight should be against? I think fighting old world title holders would be a good move for him.

....taking it slow and fighting contenders before he steps in with a champion. He'll be fine.

a humiliting performance against such a strong man can be hard for the lad though? He had so much pressure on him, i think this could be a mark of a good champion for sure.

I think he'll come back older, wise, and less scared. Pacman got his ass KO'd as a young fighter and look what he has become. I'm sure it's hard for the guy, but if he has the heart of champ, he'll overcome it. Don't write him off.

yer for sure, i hope he can go down that route cos hes a good kid and got the unlucky man with De Leon who is going to be the man to beat at his weight.

I just hope he can get over it quickly, i wouldnt mind to hear his after thoughts if anyone can post them ? ( speakers are broke!!)

I havent seen any word from Rey's mouth. He should bounce back no problem, hes young so it probably just wounded his pride.

good topic!

I noticed when watching the replay of the fight, Rey didnt look warmed up at all, even in the clip where they show him in the locker room. He looked nervous and was dry as a bone when they showed the clip in the 6 th..Penalosa then ko's Gonzales in the 7th ;D. He didnt get warm in time, because he came into the ring dry too.

guys I think he'll be fine the lost might of been better for him. I can see him in a few years, primed and knocking out everyone he encounters maybe even de leon in a future rematch which will give boomboom redemption for himself.

I heard he was laughing at himself, so i guess his doing fine.

He will be fine and I hope he has learned lessons in that defeat.

Yeah. RB fyi, Pac got KTFO twice by mediocre fighters. You got KTFO once by a prime world champion. So don't get depress and sh1t, coz a lot people still counting on you to be the next Manny Pacquiao.

Sometimes, expectations are causing unnecessary anxiety to boxers. Boom boom was clearly anxious to win as all his team mates had won already. the guy was still to young to handle pressures. The whole country (Philippines) was expecting so much from him. And when he was embarrasingly knocked down during the first round, Rey may have thought on the humiliation he will face when he goes back to the Philippines.

The guy though very much humble has also his pride. O0

he has a great camp
he has nothing to be a shame about going against p4p hardest hitter
1 punch you blame that
he;ll bounce back

yeah but will he be on primetime TV again? He'll be on ESPN next at most... maybe shobox?

He's gonna get better but I don't see him becoming a 'great' boxer. He will be there among the 'also-rans'. His chin is suspect. He has no defense. He is young and he will improve you say? He will, but not much. Defense is an instinct, and you should 'really' watch his fights to see he lacks such trait.

You should see all his fights before making a judgment. I agree his chin may be suspect but people were also saying that with the Pacman. Now they don't really know if the Pacman has a weak or strong chin. His fights with Barrera, Marquez,Morales, and Ledwaba can give us a hint that the guy may have really a granite chin.

His losses to Torrecampo and to that Thai (can't remember if Thai or Korean) had been plagued with issues. his loss against torrecampo was because of body shot.Look at the body of Pacquaio now.Bums like Torrecampo or even great fighters like Barrera will have a hard knocking Pacquaio thru body shots now. His defeat from that Thai was because of exhaustion as Pacquaio was trying to lose weight. He was actually disqualified already because of weight.

Now let me go back to BAutista, the guy is still to young. He is only 20 years old. He has still lots to learn. His body can still be molded. His style can still be improved.Again, going back to pacquaio, the pacman has no style before. Bautista is a lot better than Pacquaio, when the Pacman was of the same age as BAutista.

Let's just wait for the guy to ripe. O0

It's either Pac has granite chin or he's just really good of shaking it off everytime he gets rocked.

shaking off a punch from Marquez, Morales,and Barrera in seconds? Don't think so. Those guys are hard hitting punchers. Guys with glass chins will definitely go down before the end of the 3rd round with those named Mexican boxers. They are not considered legendary for nothing.

hmmm. most probably. those guys are not really that hard hitting so Pacquaio must have easily shaked off the daze from their punches.

I just saw team Phil on Wowowee! ;D Domingo, Banal, Gorrez, Penalosa, and Bautista. Gabi wasn't there.

The show did a good job of cheering up Boom-boom. ;D Willie Revillame even kissed him in the forehead.

nice to know that. I don't have time to watch TV shows. I'm stuck with my computer the whole day.

Yep. Willie jokingly sung "Boom Tara" lol! After Rey's hand was broken (confirmed) from sparring with Gerry, Willie was actually blaming Penalosa why Rey got beaten. Gerry just shoke and scratched his head. I thought that was hillarious ;D.

hehehe. If Boom-boom baustita's hand were really broken during the fight, the guy then is not truly hopeless.

If he had a broken hand and was against one of the best in the division, surely he wouldnt have fought him?

even if RB has both hands broken he was still KOd by ponce.

i don't get the logic of the sentence. ???

"Willie was actually blaming Penalosa why Rey got beaten."
i know its a joke but did RB lost because of a broken hand?
is he using that as an excuse?

RB has lousy defence thats why he got tagged, so even if he has two broken hands its useless anyways since he wasnt using it to cover up his chin. gets mo na pare?

Agreed. I didn't enjoy watching RB making his excuses on national tv. He shouldn't have done that.

It's a lame excuse. His hands have nothing to do with the knock out. O0
