PENALOSA, ARCE IN NEAR-RIOT AT MANDALAY!

LAS VEGAS--WBO bantamweight king Gerry Penalosa and brash Mexican former world champion Jorge "Travieso" Arce nearly came to blows Saturday night here after the bout involving their compatriots Manny Pacquiao and Marco Antonio Barrera.

Pacquiao had prevailed over the legendary Barrera via an easy unanimous decision victory that sent Barrera into retirement.

Sources indicate that after the fight, Arce and Penalosa cross paths while on their way out of the Mandalay Bay Events Center, and when both fighters came close to each other, the Mexican immediately came up to Penalosa and challenged the latter to a fight.

"I want to fight you! Let's fight," a source quoted Arce as telling Penalosa, who was accompanied to the fight by wife Goody and Japanese associate Kosuke Washio.

Goody Penalosa had to intervene when her husband came into Arce's direction, which had witnesses worrying a riot would ensue between the fighters and their respective companions.

"Goody looked very worried. She pulled Gerry immediately to avoid a confrontation," the source added.

Arce was reportedly irked when one spectator told him upon seeing Penalosa that the Filipino fighter is more popular than him, and will beat him in a fight.

The proud Mexican apparently did not find the comments to his liking, and immediately confronted the Filipino world champion.

Penalosa is being groomed to face WBO superbantamweight ruler Daniel Ponce De Leon in a grudge rematch sometime February next year in the Philippines, according to Golden Boy Promotions vice-president Eric Gomez in an interview here.

A possible bout between Penalosa and Arce will definitely be popular among fans, owing to the solid fan base they enjoy among die-hard Filipino and Mexican supporters.

Bring Arce to the PI and let Gerry's punches do the talking

[macro_shot]

I think Penalosa can't win against Arce. Arce is too fast and as strong or maybe stronger than Penalosa. Nothing against Penalosa here.

Arce has power but no defense.Penalosa is the best fighter the Philippines have.The best technical boxer and with his defense,he will school Arce.

[macro_shot]

The way I look at it, Arce vs Penalosa will be like the fight between Montiel vs Z-Gorres where Gorres was KO'd in the late rounds. Penalosa I think will be caught with a power punch also in the late rounds.
Arce's defense may not be as firm as Penalosa's, but he's got a very solid chin and lower body that's so durable designed for non-stop brawl.
