Do not expect Pedro Taduran around the bush to hits Rematch against Ginjiro Shigoka in his world title when the opening bell sounds on Saturday in Intex Osaka in Japan.
“As soon as the first round starts, Pedro will be there, throw bumps, dive, throw bumps,” said Penalosa during Friday’s official weighting.

“No other way Pedro Vecht. He will start strong and end strong. Pedro has no choice but to move forward.”
It was the same winning formula that the Taduran camp made up in the first game that saw the Libay, Albay-Inheem native, a stunning ninth round stop page of Home Bet Shigoka to claim the IBF minimum weight crown in Ottu in July 2024.
“There will be no time to relax when Pedro Vecht. I have faith and faith in his endurance and permanent power,” Penalosa added.
Taduran (17-4-1, 13KOS) has awarded Shigoka (11-1, 9KOS) his first loss and he is ready to deliver an encore.

“It is the moment I have waited,” said Taduran, who was also accompanied by his co-managers Marty and Cucuy Elorde.
The 28-year-old Taduran tilted the scales at 104.5 pounds while Shigoka entered 105.
“My condition is much better now than the last time,” said Shigoka.
Struggling to avert a ruthless Taduran, the 25-year-old Shigoka lost halfway through their first meeting.
“We have to put pressure from the start,” said Penalosa.
