DODIE BOY JR RISES FROM A KNOCKDOWN TO REGISTER 7TH KO WIN (PHOTOS) PhilBoxing.com Sun, 02 Oct 2011  Boxing pundits have often wondered how Dodie Boy Pe?alosa, Jr will react to being knocked down. That question was answered in the very first round. Donriel Marcos unleashed a wild right that sent Pe?alosa crashing on the seat of his trunks. Pe?alosa got up and looked stunned. He looked towards his corner for instructions as father and trainer Dodie,Sr. yelled for him to take time to clear his head. He walked to the neutral corner as the referee signalled the protagonists to continue fighting. Pe?alosa fired back as the round ended and kept his hands high in the second round. He pummelled Marcos on the ropes with heavy body shots. Pe?alosa got decked by a low blow which added to drama.
