In Philippine boxing, the surname Peñalosa will always remain as a household name for it speaks of a lineage of famous boxing champions beginning with once Philippine Lightweight title-holder Carl Peñalosa, followed by his two equally capable sons Dodie Boy Sr. and Gerry Peñalosa.
This coming Sunday, August 7, the whole country is set to witness the boxing prowess of another Penalosa -- 21-year-old Dodie Boy Peñalosa Jr. - as he battles Kong Kiatpracha Gym of Thailand in "Laban ng Lahi: Dugong Kampeon."
Peñalosa, who boasts of an undefeated slate winning all five fights via knock-out and was also a two-time National Champion with an unblemished record of 27 wins in the amateur ranks, is all set to battle his 34-year-old Thai opponent who now has a record of 5 wins, 8 losses and 1 draw in an eight-round bantamweight bout at the Mandaue Sports Complex in Cebu.
"Laban ng Lahi: Dugong Kampeon," which will also feature former World Boxing Council Light Flyweight Champion Rodel Mayol, airs on Sunday, August 7, at 10:10am before Party Pilipinas on GMA-7 and is simulcast over Super Radyo DZBB.--Text courtesy of GMA Network
