                    [Title] => Peñalosa goes for broke tonite
                    [Summary] => Gerry Peñalosa never predicts the outcome of his fights.  He’d rather let his fists do the talking in the ring.


But in a rare exception, Peñalosa said his bout against World Boxing Council (WBC) superflyweight champion Masamori Tokuyama in Osaka tonight won’t last the 12-round distance and he doesn’t expect to lose. In other words, Peñalosa is predicting to win by knockout.

But he’s making an exception in his battle against World Boxing Council (WBC) superflyweight champion Masamori Tokuyama in Yokohama tomorrow.

Before leaving for Japan last Thursday, Peñalosa told The STAR the scheduled 12-round bout won’t go the distance. And he doesn’t expect to lose. Peñalosa said he’s confident of regaining the throne that In Joo Cho stole on a controversial split decision three years ago.

Lawyer-sportsman Rudy Salud, who manages the career of Peñalosa, said he is "not worried because the WBC made it very clear that neither Tokuyama nor Peñalosa can have any more tune-up fights until they meet each other" within 90 days.

In 1997, Peñalosa outpointed Japanese legend Hiroshi Kawashima to wrest the WBC 115-pound crown in Tokyo. It was a humbling setback for Kawashima who lost before an adoring homecrowd and never fought again.
