Former WBC superflyweight champion Gerry Peñalosa is back in his old, explosive form, so fearsome that the mere aim of throwing a punch made his Thai foe fall down in defeat. The end came at 2:35 of the second round as the southpaw Peñalosa methodically demolished Thai youngster Samingkao Chautipol with vicious body shots and combinations. Before the stoppage, Peñalosa dropped Chautipol with a hard right to the body just a few seconds into the fateful round. Moments later, Peñalosa again dropped the hapless visitor after throwing a flurry of powerful combinations. The 19-year-old Chautipol was able to beat the count, albeit being terror-stricken. But just as Peñalosa was about to release a right hook aimed at Chautipol’s body, the teener covered his face and simultaneously fell down willfully, forcing the Thai’s corner to throw in the towel.
