By Steve Kim (Photo © German Villasenor): Back in April, Gerry Penalosa was conclusively defeated by Juan Manuel Lopez in an attempt to win the Puerto Rican’s WBO super bantamweight title.

And if it were up to Roach, it would have been the last time Penalosa would have ever fought professionally, in a career that spans 63 fights and began in 1989. But alas, Penalosa faces Eric Morel this Saturday night at the

 By Gabriel Montoya (Photo © German Villasenor): Coming into Saturday’s WBC semi-unification lightweight bout, 28-year old Edwin Valero, 27-0 (27), was a fighter shrouded in questions.
