Peņalosa:
I have
more power now
BY CEDELF TUPAS
Negrense pugilist Gerry Peņalosa said he feels his punches pack more power than ever as he prepares for another world title fight, this time, against Mexican Daniel Ponce De Leon on Sunday for the World Boxing Organization bantamweight belt at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Overshadowed by the success of Manny Pacquiao in recent years, the 34-year-old southpaw from San Carlos City said he is comfortable fighting in the 118-122 lbs. division.
"I feel I have more power. That's what I feel right now.
I don't need to lose weight, I feel fully loaded," Peņalosa said in
an interview with maxboxing.com.
