Penalosa New Opponent is Announced

[ElGranLuchador]

According to pinoy promoter Sammy Gello-ani, Penalosa next defense is going to be against Isidro "Chino" Garcia (25 wins 8 kos 4 loses 2 draws) whos claim to fame was winning the WBO flyweight title from Jose Lopez, Alejandro Montiel was originally scheduled to fight Lopez for the vacant crown, but withdrew a few hours before the fight.
Garcia happened to be in attendance as a spectator and was asked to step in while sitting at ringside eating a doughnut.
Garcia fought and won the title using borrowed trunks, protective cup and mouthpiece.
It should be an ez fight for Penalosa since Garcia is been on decline and was recently stopped by Abner Mares
Also on the undercard Oscar "Chololo" Larios fights indonesian Alexander Bajawa
Larios is fighting as the local fighter due to the ammount of respect he gained from pinoys cuz of his gutsy performance against Pacquiao in Manila a few years ago.

Penalosa is getting a bit long in the tooth...

I think Gerry should retire if he can't get a rematch against Ponce de leon or any other big fights.

He was supposed to have retired when he won the title from Diaz.

yes but it looks like penalosa has hijacked the belt and is only defending it in the philipinnes
and is too much of a risk to trust judges from there ask darchinyan

Ask Montiel too when he got a gift against Gorrez. Well not exactly a gift......but with a close fight like that...most corrupt country would have given it a hometown decision. But instead Montiel won.

BTW...the lone Filipino judge gave it to Darch........while the other foreign judges had it a draw and nod for Z.
