    no **** he has nothing to be ashamed of lol..

    That man is a freak. Taylor in the 10th round look worse than penaloosa. Which is unbelievable after seeing the constant beating he was taking.

    hmm says...

    Indeed... it was like watching Rocky, but unlike Rocky fights can be stopped.... I thought he was going to have a comeback with some of the shots he was landing.

    As I said in your other thread, "There's Zeus, Poseidon, Hermes, Apollo . . . and Penalosa."

    I have watched this man fight for a long time. I actually even watched his brother Dodie boy Penalosa before as well.

    The man is a credit to the sport. He is all class and a lot of younger boxers have a thing or two to learn from him.

    Now, I wonder where those jackasses who said Penalosa would fall in the first round are? I did not delude myself into thinking he would win but the old ******* can certainly hang in there.

    I thought he would've came back as well....I'd put it at 15-1 he knocks him out in the 10th-12th.


    That said, at 15-1 odds I don't think those are good enough odds to let him keep going.

    Gerry Penalosa is class,pure class.Unfortunately he ran into a buzzsaw named Juan Manuel.Kudos to both of them.Remember when people used to claim boxing goes as the heavyweights go?I'm delighted that's not the case.

    penalosa should probably retire after this fight and start his career as a trainer.

    Two thing we learned tonight, Penalosa have a brutal heart, and Lopez stamina is incredible trowing over 1000 power punches in just 9 rounds and still pounding penalosa is something special a fiighter that whats to fight lopez and thinks that by putting Juanma in the latter rounds, is in a real problem.

    Only someone who had never seen a Penalosa fight in their lives could have predicted a KO loss in the 1st round with any certainty.
