Peņalosa-De
Leon II
may be held Dec. 8
BY CEDELF TUPAS
SAN CARLOS CITY --- Gerry Peņalosa, the World Boxing Organization bantamweight champion, yesterday disclosed that negotiations are ongoing for a possible rematch with his Mexican tormentor, Daniel Ponce De Leon, the WBO super bantamweight king.
But the southpaw from San Carlos said he is also open to the possibility of fighting in the Philippines before rubbing mitts with De Leon, who has established a reputation as a Filipino killer with wins over Peņalosa and Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista.
Peņalosa (56 wins, 6 losses, 2 draws with 35 KOs) said his second fight with De
Leon is being eyed as one of the undercards of the blockbuster duel between Ricky
Hatton and Floyd Mayweather on Dec. 8 in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
