The Panamanian combatants, Orlando Penalba and Gilberto Pedroza invaded these shores on Tuesday for the ‘Road To Redemption’ fight card Saturday at the National Stadium.
While they received a warm and hospitable Guyanese welcome, Minister of Sport, Charles Ramson Jr., stated that the friendliness ends when they enter the squared circle.
The undefeated Penalba is scheduled to face Elton Dharry in the feature event of the evening. Dharry who has large fan base in Guyana, will fight for the spoils of the WBC International super flyweight title. Pedroza will take on Dexter ‘De Kid’ Marques in the co-main event for the WBC flyweight Silver belt.
