I haven't seen the fight but based on the news from philboxing.com Peñalosa won it but failed to impress the judges, who were by the way (at least that's what I learned) the same judges during the Gorres fight, hence Ponce de Leon took home the bacon. However, the news I've read were written by Filipino scribes and I can't help but think that those writeups were tainted with bias. I wish to hear what the Mexicans have to say about the fight.

It's really that way with boxing. You're never sure of a win unless you knock the bells out of your opponent and send him sleeping to the canvass. Losing parties always say they were cheated in some form or another. I hope our countrymen will learn to accept defeat as well as we embrace victory. That's just the way things are. Those judges that scored the bout were professionals and were far more credible than what we sour graping losers have to say. Cheers! Well, I'm not really sure but I think I'm hearing of a rematch.

Just as I thought, having not seen the fight and only hearing and reading commentaries from fellow Filipinos, I can't really tell what's the truth behind the fight and yeah I agree, I guess besides training up to be good athletes I hope Filipinos would learn to accept defeat...most often if we fail, we end up sounding like poor losers and I hate it. Why can't we just accept it and learn from it then do better next time.
