Penalosa, Arce In Near-riot At Mandalay

[Daredevil69]

Is the Ponce-Gerry set already? If not, this incident might be to hype up Arce and Gerry if they ever face each other.

Still I would prefer Donaire-Arce and Penalosa-De leon.

Trust me, Daniel is not the same guy and would absolutely crush Penalosa in a rematch. He's well aware of the public opinion on the first fight, and after the Lopez and Bautista fights, seems to be a bit more confident these days.

Of course my talk can only do so much, but I'd bet on it when it rolls around if you're interested.

I agree that De Leon will beat Peñalosa again in the rematch but will somehow not touch/penetrate any of his punches. Nobody has.

what the hell is that post with the chick with a goat milker?

LOL. Goat milker

Maybe Arce can pick Penalosa's bones after Ponce De Leon flattens him.

Gerry was 35 years old when he made De Leon look like a fool. What De Leon did to Bautista has nothing to do with this rematch. Bautista was nothing but an overhyped statue. If Penalosa loses again, it's really because he's way too old, for chrissakes Gerry is older than MAB and EM . When this fight materializes, for all we know Gerry will be friggin' 37.

I wouldn't be surprised if De Leon beats Penalosa, but it ain' gonna be the kind of beatdown you envision. Hell, I wouldn't throw out the idea of a Penalosa upset. De Leon ain't got no skills, no talent, but alot of stamina and his size, just like the first fight, Deleon's size and energy will again be a factor against an aging, over-the-hill Gerry.

Umm, Lets not forget who ran the last 3-4 rounds in their first fight(LOL). That's right, the young, energetic, talentless De Leon found himself running ,trying to avoid an aging, beautiful master counter-puncher in Gerry.

Just exactly what did you see in De Leon's last performance, which wasn't really long enough to get a good look if De Leon added anything to his repertoire.

Bautista - an inexperienced, stationary target, never fought under the big lights.

Penalosa - brilliant counter-puncher, vast experience, now 3-time champ, moves well in the ring, terrific defense.

Deleon's advantage is not his boxing skills(lol), it ain't his god-given talent(lol). he's simply too big, too strong, too sloppy, but lots of activity in the ring. This was obviously enough in the eyes of the judges the last time.

Penalosa will have to take more risks this time around and be busier.

Same here...

Penalosa would kill Arce or leave him a bloody mess. Arce tends to get wild when things don't go his way, Arce doesn't have a jab, he can only fight forward, this all plays into Penalosa's hand. Gerry is a beautiful counter-puncher and a crafty southpaw. Arce fans better have a blood drive going because Arce's gonna need every single drop of it once Gerry opens him up.

As for Donaire, this would be a good stepping stone fight for him(hehe)

No matter how mediocre he may look in the ring stylewise, to say the Ponce de Leon has NO skill and NO talent is pretty harsh. I would think that any fighter who's gotten as far as he has and won a world title belt has some sort of skill and talent. It might not be the prettiest, but he does what he has to do. Which is usually but a severe beatdown on his opponents...usually.

I don't think Gerry should be fighting Ponce De Leon.
He should be focusing in his own weight class.
Ponce De Leon has learned from their first fight and
Gerry will have a very difficult time next time around.

[JOM'S]

imho Arce is the best fight for Gerry and may/could? equal what he can get on the deleon fight...

but if ever he fights deleon again it will be similar to the first...
