If it happens, who do you think will win?

De Leon was undeservingly awarded a victory against him. DPDL threw 1,399 punches but most of 'em were airshots. It was Gerry that landed more crisper power punches.
I haven't seen their fight. Could you post a link here to that fight? Maybe a video from youtube so that people will be able to discuss things in proper context. Thanks man.
I wish I had time. I'm just slacking @ work right now. I could get canned. :-\Quote:

It wont happen this early, Gerry is a backwards step for De Leon and there would be no point for the fight to happen in the eyes of De Leon. But you never no if Gerry gets some good wins it could possibly happen.
here's the link of the news

actually gerry said he wants to retire, but if ponce wants to fight him he will fight him.
I'll try to find the vid.

its at the 3:30 mark ;)
How about Penalosa vs. Caballero?
or Ponce de Leon vs. Caballero (rematch) and winner gets a crack at Vazquez-Marquez III winner.
Great competition at 122 lbs, exciting division.
and ponce had said he wants to fight one more this year.

Ponce is a warrior and I've read somewhere that Freddy heard Ponce mention he was willing to rematch Gerry in the Phillipines! What a fight that would be.
Backwards step? Not so sure. As far as him getting some good wins he just beat Jhonny Gonzalez, Ponce doesn't have a better win than that, period.Quote:

I wouldn't mind a rematch at all and full credit to Ponce if he goes to the Phillipines to do it.
the fight between the two will be very very exciting. It's like World Cup continuation --Philippines vs Mexico.
I will definitely watch the fight.Hope it happens.
Well he has already beaten him and although it was close he still did get the nod. If he wants to go the phillpeans to fight him than i do feel he will have to knock gerry out because the crowd/judges will not be with him. I just feel Daniel should try and push a re-match with caballero or try and fight the winner of vasquez-marquez IMO thats were the money will be for him and thats what will push him to be the best. I think gerry in the phillpeans is not the best choice he could make.Quote:

I like Penalosa for being humble and dedicated to boxing. I just don't think his belt will last long with him.Anyway, the guy deserves the title. O0
