Top Rank promoter Bob Arum was impressed with the performance of super featherweight Michael Farenas, a protégé of former two-division world champion Gerry Penalosa who smashed Gerardo Zayas to the canvas three times at the Erwin Center in Austin, Texas to win by a 1st round knockout and plans to arrange for a title shot.
Penalosa told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard that Farenas dropped Zayas with a wicked left straight three times in round one with the referee not even counting after the third knockdown.
Penalosa said Farenas will remain in the US and train at the Wild Card Gym of Freddie Roach and be ready when a title fight comes along.
