Eric Morel vs. Gerry Peñalosa WBO World Title Eliminator

Let's get ready to rumble with this featured boxing on the Latin Fury 13/Pinoy Power 3 boxing event. The Eric Morel vs. Jerry Peñalosa WBO World Title Eliminator match.

Eric Morel (41-2, 21 KOs), of San Juan Puerto Rico, captured the WBA flyweight title in 2000, winning a 12-round decision over defending champion Sornpichai Pisnurachank. He dominated for three years, reigning as champion included five successful title defenses. Since losing the title, Morel has won eight of his last night bouts, including two NABO junior bantamweight and one NABO bantamweight title fights, while elevating himself to become the WBO’s No. 1 bantamweight contender.

Gerry Peñalosa (54-7-2, 34 KOs), of Cebu, Philippines, first came to international prominence in 1997, capturing the World Boxing Council super flyweight by dethroning Hiroshi Kawashima via an exciting split decision. He successfully defended the title three times before losing it the following year to In-Joo Cho by decision. Nine years later, Peñalosa became the comeback story of the year, knocking out Jhonny Gonzalez in the seventh round to become the WBO bantamweight champion in 2007. After one successful title defense, Peñalosa tested the waters of a higher weight class where he unsuccessfully challenged WBO junior featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez In April. He is now back fighting in familiar territory fighting as a bantamweight.

This is tonight's bout of "Who's Still Got It?" Morel says he's refreshed, renewed, he's "got it and [he's] got it for a long time." Peñalosa showed massive intestinal fortitude in his loss against Juan Manuel Lopez last year. His corner had to practically hold him back before going out for another round. But while Gerry was taking poundings from the now-featherweight champion, Morel was resting up after a string of 6 wins. 411mania.com Latin Fury 13/Pinoy Power 3 Review
