Gerry Peñalosa shocked the boxing world with a legit solid body punch that knocked Johnny Gonzales. He was trailing in points the entire fight. It looked to me like a miracle was needed for him to win the contest, But as he was constantly striving to look for openings he saw one and never let it go…
The body punch was so solid that it made Johnny Gonzales drop on his knees at the canvas and not able to beat the count. Imagine how solid that body punch was. It was like Hopkins-Dela Hoya but in a greater fashion. Gerry Peñalosa had nothing going in the fight, I never saw him connect a power punch until that punch.
I can remeber a Filipino analyst said :"The punch came down from Heaven down to the veins of Gerry Peñalosa and ending on the rib of Johnny Gonzales".
