By Cliff Rold - Between the three of them, there are major title belts in three weight divisions, one lineal championship, and a combined age of almost 101. This Saturday night in Las Vegas, Nevada, one of them is likely to have his final chance to be a major force.
The tally could reach two.
On paper, the most accomplished match of the night on Top Rank’s latest independent pay-per-view foray will pit 37-year old Gerry Penalosa (54-7-2, 36 KO) of the Philippines against 34-year old Puerto Rican Eric Morel (41-2, 21 KO) of Madison, Wisconsin for the interim right at Bantamweight to pay WBO sanctioning fees.
It even comes with a belt.
Defending the WBO belt that comes without an interim tag, 30-year old Fernando Montiel (39-2-2, 29 KO) of Mexico steps in with 22-year Filipino Ciso Morales (14-0, 8 KO). The winners presumably face off later this year to ‘unify’ the title distinction, but what of the defeated? The card comes under the labels of both “Pinoy Power” and “Latin Fury” but could as easily have borrowed from an old cliché. [Click Here To Read More]
