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.
