Gerry Penalosa's Wife Claims Robbery

[Papa Ace]

i think it is just enough that gerry exposed this ponce deleon to be an over-hyped fighter.

no wonder he chickened out of the boom boom bautista fight.

tsk tsk, although I can see, how Penalosa won the fight ...

i can also see that he was not able to do enough, basically he just got outworked and although Penalosa has clearly landed the cleaner shot he was outlanded by almost 100 ...

You can see how he won the fight? No no, the short black guy is Steve Forbes, not Gerri Penalosa! That must be the fight you're talking about because Gerri won ONE round, the second, and he was lucky to win that! He got SCHOOLED by an indio. By an INDIO! And one with no style.

If percentages won fights I'd connect my first jab and dance all night long. Then I'd have 100% and win every fight. Unfortunately, the guy who scores more points wins the fight. It's not the guy who lands more punches; it's not the guy who lands the harder punches; it's not the guy who knocks down his opponent a few times, either. You have to score points by winning rounds.

If anyone honestly thinks that Gerri won more than two rounds then you must take off you're Pinoy Goggles (or your Mexican-Hater Goggles) and watch the fight in an unbiased manner.

i can only say your BLIND AS A BAT IF YOU GAVE GERRY ONLY ONE OR TWO ROUNDS, honestly the fight is a lot closer than most people here care to admit... and I wont care to argue either ...

I'm not saying that you don't score those things. I'm only saying that you can only score them round by round, not as a combined whole. You can't look at the end of a fight and say that Fighter X won because he landed more punches than Fighter Y. It doesn't always work out that way. Same with KDs. I had Marquez beating Pac even though he was KD'd three times and Pac didn't see the canvas. Why? Because we score individual rounds.

They are to be taken individually. I'll give you a few examples:

Say fighter A and fighter B finish a fight. Here are the compubox numbers:

Fighter A: Thrown: 750 Landed: 250 / PP Thrown: 650 Landed: 200
Fighter B: Thrown: 1000 Landed: 320 / PP Thrown: 700 Landed: 250

Now, you would probably say that Fighter B won the fight because he landed more punches and he landed more power punches, right? Well, you could be wrong. Why, well what if Fighter B threw twice the punches as Fighter A in 6 rounds and 2/3ds the punches in the following 6 rounds. One fighter ends up with more punches thrown but doesn't necessarily win all the rounds necessary. Throw in a point deduction or a KD and Fighter B now is behind Fighter A in points.

You get points in individual rounds and the stats from one round do not affect the scoring of the next. If fighter A throws 30 punches and connects 15 in round 1 while Fighter B throws 100 punches and connects 45, you would probably give the round to fighter B because he did more damage. That's cool. But what if in round 2 Fighter A throws 50 punches and connects 30 while Fighter B throws 60 punches and connects 20? You would probably give the round to fighter A, right? So now the scores are tied but if you look at compubox numbers Fighter A would be 45/80 and Fighter B would be 65/160.

You would look at the compubox numbers and say Fighter B is winning the fight but he's not, it's tied up in points.

That's why it's not the fighter who wins more rounds, or has more KDs, or throws more punches, or lands more punches that wins a fight. You have to take everything into consideration and score points, add them up, and whomever has more at the end of the fight is the person who wins.

If you don't understand this then you need to go back to 2nd grade.

I imagine Gary Penalosa must have been a hell of a fighter in his day. I would love to see him at lighter weights where he fought as a champion.

[RAESAAD]

I watched that fight.....Penalosa while no slouch was far from winning that fight.

Yup, about 11 rounds far.

Another crack for Gerry?
By Joaquin Henson
The Philippine Star 03/20/2007

Gerry Peñalosa said yesterday Golden Boy Promotions vice president Eric Gomez has offered to arrange a fight against WBO bantamweight titlist Jhonny Gonzalez but he would rather face WBO superbantamweight champion Daniel Ponce de Leon in a rematch to prove a point.

Peñalosa fought courageously in a bold bid to dethrone De Leon in Las Vegas last Saturday. He moved up two weight classes for a crack at the crown. The judges, however, gave the Filipino southpaw little credit in surviving the 12-round distance as their scorecards reflected a lopsided decision.

Chuck Giampa and Nelson Vazquez had it 119-109 for De Leon, awarding Peñalosa just a single round. Dave Moretti saw it a 120-108 shutout.

"I think I won," said Peñalosa in an overseas phonecall to The Star. "I’m not content with the decision. I landed the cleaner blows. I was never hurt. He ran away from me. He got hurt. The fans booed him because he didn’t fight like a champion."

Peñalosa said even newly crowned WBC superfeatherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez, who outpointed Marco Antonio Barrera in the main event, commiserated.

"Marquez told me I won," continued Peñalosa. "He told me twice. He watched the fight in the dressing room before he fought Barrera. He also told me he really likes the way I fight."

Peñalosa said facing Gonzalez for the 118-pound title will be an easier assignment but fighting De Leon in a rematch is a matter of pride.

Although Peñalosa said he still has to make up his mind on whether to continue fighting or not, it appears retirement isn’t imminent.

"No decision yet on what I’ll do next," said Peñalosa. "I’ll take a rest then come up with a decision."

There were no knockdowns in the match and neither fighter was visibly hurt. Peñalosa suffered a cut on the right side of his skull from an accidental headbutt and blood trickled from the wound in the final round. Doctors later applied a "staple" procedure to close the cut and no stitches were required. The "staples" will be cleaned up after five days.

Peñalosa’s wife Goody, who flew in with children J. C. Boy, 7, and Julienne Gayle, 5, a week before the fight, said the consensus at ringside was the judges weren’t fair.

"De Leon threw more punches but Gerry blocked a lot of them with his gloves and arms and many missed completely," said a ringsider. "Gerry connected the cleaner shots and deserved more than what the judges gave him credit for."

Peñalosa was applauded by fans when he showed up for breakfast at the Raffles Café in the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino the morning after.

"About 50 to 60 Caucasians eating in the restaurant clapped their hands for Gerry," related Peñalosa’s wife. "At the hotel lobby, several Mexicans waited to congratulate Gerry like he won the fight."

Peñalosa and his family will leave Las Vegas today for Los Angeles. They will visit Disneyland at Anaheim before departing for Manila on Friday.
