Penalosa told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard/Viva Sports that the fight is “a done deal” after successful negotiations for the fight to take place in Caguas, Puerto Rico on November 14.

And another solid matchup for november to go along with the Gradovich/Velez matchup a week later. End of year is looking good, not overly great but very good!

This year has been a great year for boxing, this is another solid fight and these next 3 months are producing some compelling matchups.... its an exciting time to be a boxing fan!

I like Pedraza, but I wish this fight was somewhere else. Farenas has been on the short end of the negotiations everytime I've seen him fight. How many Filipino fans will attend this fight? Farenas deserves a little better than "successful" negotiations, he has at least earned neutral ground. He has to stick his head in the lion's mouth, again.
