Excerpts from Dan Rafael Blog, ESPN Boxing:
"Best of luck to the Philippines' Gerry Penalosa in retirement. Following a fourth-round knockout in his home country against Yodsaenkeng Kietmangmee on Sunday, Penalosa, 38, announced his retirement. Penalosa (55-8-2, 37 KOs) won two world titles at junior bantamweight and bantamweight in a distinguished 21-year pro career and he has one of the greatest chins I've ever seen. The only time he was ever stopped in his 65-fight career came in fight No. 63, when trainer Freddie Roach pulled him out of a junior featherweight title fight after the ninth round against young gun Juan Manuel Lopez. Although it was a humane stoppage by Roach, I dare say Penalosa would have made it to the final bell. He lost some controversial decisions during his heyday, but it doesn't change the fact that Penalosa was a damn good fighter and a little guy with a huge heart".
