Gerry Penelosa to defend v Ratanachai Sor Vorapin on March 2

[El Gamo]

AJ Banal on the undercard. Ponce was offered the Gerry rematch but he is taking a break after an active 2007,in which he fought 4/5 times. Anyway,I'm just glad to see Gerry fighting,I am a huge fan of his counter punching skills and find him awesome to watch. I have 4-5 of his fights and want more!!

Banal is also a very good prospect.Good work from the Phillipines

At his age, Gerry boy shouldn't be wasting his time on cheap fights, but well, de Leon declined to fight and that's too bad cuz Gerry really wanted the fight. Guess it's the fight not worth the risk for de Leon.

It's his mandatory so he has no choice really. I don't think it's that,I just think Ponce really is tired and wants a break. If the $$$ is right,somewhere down the line,Ponce would fight him again and even though I'm a fan of Daniel's,I think Gerry wins the rematch.

Haha, my man Gamooo! I think you're just being kind to my boy. I'll give it 55-45 in favor of de Leon but Gerry's got everything to gain and nothing to lose in the fight, and so I really want this fight to happen than the pac-Hatton joke.

You bloody!!! I love you my man. The only pacfan who tells it as it is(65% of the time ) The Pac Hatton fight is foolish,Manny could beat most of the guys around 130 and 135 and be considered a legend there.

As for the Gerry-Ponce 2 fight,I honestly think if Gerry picks it up a little,he wins. ALOT of press row and some of my favourite and most knowledgeable boxing writers thought Gerry won that fight and he CERTAINLY landed the cleaner,more effective punches,but Ponce threw too many. Gerry took his power which was amazing to see!

2 vet's of the game going at it. Think this is a rematch, Gerry won then and he'll win now I just don't 'Sor V' wining this times passed for him and IMO hes out there just earning a living. It'll be a nice little pay day for him.

i'm surprised that YOU would think that. personally i would have it as a repeat of the first fight but gerry seems to be extremely keen on having that rematch so maybe he knows something we don't and i'm hoping it's just not about the money. yeah, he just might surprise us.

[KKisser]

nice EG for mentioning my boy aj banal. watch out for this young prospect from the p.i.

Why are you surprised? I call it how I see it. I think if Gerry lets his hands go more and avoids Ponce's bombs/takes them as he did the first time,he wins.Remember,ALOT of knowledgeable writers had Gerry winning the first fight. They prefered his counter punching,which was harder,had more effect and cleaner than any of Ponce's shots.However,Ponce threw alot more.

it didn't really seem like he threw a lot more, anyone have the punch stats? I haven't seen the fight in a while but what I can remember is gerry winning most of the rounds but kinda slowed down with his countering at the later rounds. He did land some good shots that made ponce look bad that I can remember. What I dont remember is seeing ponce actually tagging gerry with anything to conclude he won the fight.

I think gerry will win this upcoming fight of his then hopefully ponce agrees with a rematch. I think ponce even said he was willing to go to the p.i to fight but I don't know why he suddenly felt like he needs a break. Its not like his been going 12 rounds a fight. Check out his past few fights, he barely broke a swet.

Heres the punch stats De Leon threw way more punches than Penalosa, he threw almost over 900 more punches than Penalosa, if my maths is right which it isn't always because my maths sucks

Looks like he threw A LOT more and landed a bit more but gerry was a lot more accurate. ponce only landed 19% thats like missing for a whole round or two or three or four with as much as he threw of nearly 1400 punches. Gerry landed about 35% of just around 400 punches, that shows the difference in age imo. Ponce threw nearly a thousand more which is hard to believe really. When i have time I'll try to watch the fight again.

The punch stats are crazy that is quite unbelievable De Leon threw over 900 more punches than Gerry. To be honest though never really thought much of De Leon he is a devastating puncher, but he is very sloppy and he can be out boxed clearly by a well schooled boxer. In fact i think Steve Molitor would give De Leon a bit of a boxing lesson.

[Galaxy]

A solid match-up, Sor Vorapin is a tough experienced opponent but I don't think he'll trouble Penalosa too much. As for a DeLeon/ Penalosa rematch I think DeLeon wins convincingly this time! I am one who thought Gerry won the 1st fight but I just feel DeLeon will be more effective in a second fight.

i thought you'd go with ponce in a rematch cos you've been goin' about how you find it difficult to give gerry the decision with such a discrepancy of punch output in their first fight. so you think gerry could do better next around? personally i don't think so.
