WBC founding secretary general Rudy Salud says he has convinced newly crowned WBO bantamweight champion Gerry Penalosa not to fight super bantamweight champion Daniel Ponce De Leon because he is “too big and too strong” for the smaller, 35 year old Filipino southpaw.

Penelosa promised him he would not so it appears there won't be a Ponce-Gerry rematch.

Salud said if he makes $200,000 to $300,000 it will be good and Penalosa could then retire.
