I think he's making an excuse. I think he doesn't want another tune-up match before de Leon fight, considering this news came after de Leon accepted the challenge of Penalosa. IMO too, he can't afford too much tune-up fights at his age. He's right on the track, he should be concentrating on de Leon fight as he'll be having his hands full in that fight.

I totally agree... If Gerry accepted it, he could end up fighting Abner Mares on May 31... a high risk, low reward fight... Team Nacho should put Rafa in there and I think Gerry will accept it without any hesitations...
