Pacland's Philippine Boxing Forum

I do believe DPDL is much stronger than Vasquez.Vasquez is also a brawler a perfect match for Gerry,a counter-puncher fighter.

By the way, we are in the wrong forum...

to all the boxing enthusiasts in the world. i wanna tell you this: gerry penalosa is the best technical fighter that have come out of the philippines and a fight for IV is jerry's chance to be recognize in a boxing world. look what manny has done against MAB, only few beleives he can beat him. i think jerry can do that also..

Vasquez is not that big to be compared against Gerry. Gonzalez is much bigger. Both are technical fighters, and both have power that could knock out each other.

I think Gerry could defeat Vazquez, due to the fact that Vazquez gets hit more often than Gerry. As you could see in his last thre fight, defense and counter punching was Gerry Penalosa's forte. Remember also that Jhonny Gonzalez was able to knock down Vazquez twice in their fight, but Gonzalez was not able to do that to an older Penalosa.

The work rate showed by Penalosa in his fight against Gonzalez and Vorapin is akin to the way JMM transformed himself from a usual counter puncher to an initiator of offense also. Penalosa, if you have been watching him closely, is not content on counter punching anymore. That may have been a lesson he learned when he lost to DPDL, and may very well serve him in a fight against Vasquez or Marquez, or a rematch with DPDL.

yeah, boom boom might have a chance if he'll be given a free throw shot(punch) to the chin of IV

Penalosa will get murdered

but Boom Boom has a chance to beat Vasquez by KO

I stand corrected in GP not being knocked down in any of his fight, but it holds true that IV suffered more knock downs in his career.

What still holds true is that GP has never been KOed throughout his career, and at this point in time, he even looks much fresher than IV even if he is older.

A slugger like IV is always tailor made for defensive counter punchers like GP, because no one will be running around and since both will be trading in the middle of the ring, it will make for an exciting fight.

GP showed aggression in his last two fights already, an indication that he learned from the debacle of losing to DPDL due only to the sheer volume of punches by DPDL. Thus, he is now an aggressive counter puncher, a better combination if you don't want to leave the decisions to judges.

another suicide match for gerry
