Peñalosa was persuaded to make a comeback in a Cebu promotion where another brother Gerry headlined the main event. It was a promoter’s dream to feature the Peñalosa brothers on the same card. Peñalosa’s opponent was Julius Tarona, known for his unsavory tactics in the ring.

As it turned out, Tarona used every trick not in the book to bully Peñalosa and it sparked a riot in the coliseum. Chairs flew and someone even pulled out a gun as the fans vented their ire on Tarona. Peñalosa’s father Carl, who worked his corner, grabbed Tarona from the back and the Peñalosa brothers, including Dodie Boy, took turns kicking and punching the roughhouser.
