Bago magretiro, ibig ni Peñalosa na tanghaling world boxing champion

-

MANILA, Philippines - Bago man lamang tulu­yan nang magretiro ay gusto ni Gerry “Fearless” Peñalosa na tanghaling world boxing champion.

Sasagupain ng Filipino world two-division champion na si Peñalosa si dating flyweight titlist Eric Morel ng Puerto Rico sa “Pinoy Power 3/Latin Fury 13” sa Pebrero 13 sa Las Vegas Hilton sa Las Vegas, Nevada.

“Talagang ang gusto ko champion pa rin ako pag nag-retire ako,” sabi ni Peñalosa, dating naghari sa World Bo­xing Council (WBC) sup­er flyweight division at World Boxing Organization (WBO) bantamweight class.

Paglalabanan ng 37-an­yos na si Peñalosa at ng 34-anyos na si Morel ang WBO interim bantamweight belt.

Kasalukuyang taglay ni Peñalosa ang 54-7-2 win-loss-draw ring record kasama ang 36 KOs, habang bitbit ni Morel, dating World Boxing Association WBA flyweight champion, ang 41-2-0 (21 KOs) card.

“I believe it’s worth the wait since I’ll be facing a former world champion and a great fighter like Gerry Peñalosa,” respeto naman ni Morel kay Penalosa.

Ang mananalo sa pagitan nina Peñalosa at Morel ang siyang ma­kakalaban ng mananaig sa pagitan nina Mexican world three-time cham­pion Fernando “Cochulito” Montiel (39-2-2, 29 KOs) at Filipino chal­l­­enger Ciso “Kid Terrible” Morales (14-0-0, 8 KOs).

Si Montiel ang kasalukuyang may hawak sa WBO bantamweight belt.

Nasa boxing card rin ang pagdedepensa ni Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire, Jr. (22-1, 14 KOs) ng kanyang WBA interim super flyweight crown laban kay Mexican challenger Gerson Guerrero (34-8, 26 KOs). (RCadayona)
