Pacman Sings "IMAGINE" for Margarito??



One good thing with us Filipinos is our knack for singing. Most, if not all, Filipinos know how to carry a tune.

Another good thing about us, Filipinos, is Manny 'Pacman" Pacquiao. I am one of the many people who have watched this lanky hair-dyed fighter exchange blows with almost everyone who wants a piece of him in the ring. Now this fighter is now one of the most exciting boxer there is. Even if that Mayweather kid brags to be the best, he will never be as exciting as The Pacman.

Now, Pacman will again climb into the ring for his countrymen and face another Mexican. Even with the controversy, The Tijuana Tornado should not to be taken lightly. Although there is a chance Antonio Margarito may find it difficult when he finally tests the scales the day before his Nov. 13 appointment with Manny Pacquiao at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, still, he can make it difficult for Manny.

Aside from boxing, this great Southpaw from the Philippines can also sing. Well, not as Charice Pempengco great or Lea Salonga spectacular though. Nonetheless, let's just give him that, as long as he can make Margarito kiss the canvass come fight night.


(This is my very first post with a video since I just recently discovered how. Amazing, right?! Hehe)

Floyd Mayweather vs Juan Manuel Marquez bout Postponed(?)

Rumor has it that it's not a rib injury which made Floyd Mayweather Jr. backout (okay, postponed) from the anticipated(?) clash between him and the ever stubborn Juan Manuel Marquez in July 2009.

But whether it's a rib injury or just him chickening out, it still doesn't look good for him and with his plans of facing the charm of Manny Pacquiao in the ring. I don't remember hearing Manny backing out from a big fight. I recall he even fought a Thailander even when he was not feeling well during fight night. He lost to that lucky Thailander though-- who actually grabbed the turn of events to his favor.

Now, I doubt it if Mayweather Jr. is indeed the best opponent for Pacquiao at the moment. Miguel Cotto seems to be more interesting to see with Pacquiao inside the ring.





Mayweather Jr. should have stayed at home and enjoyed his retirement. What he is doing won't help him and his reputation at all.

Let your "rib" speak for you.

I Woke Up When Pacquiao Put Hatton to Sleep

The unexamined life is not worth living. - Socrates

For the past few weeks a lot of significant events occurred. These have somewhat changed the world and it's history. History which others might find interesting and life-changing and yet the same events others might find it hard to accept.

As you've noticed, silence described this little web space I have for the past weeks. It would a appear that the world has left me behind among the changes. It seemed like I was hibernating and just got up from my deep slumber. I guess I was.

Though I was snoring while drowned into the proverbial sleep, I was not oblivious of what reality was busy with. Asleep but aware.

The interesting and the not-so events didn't escape me. They were all real to me as it were to everyone. From the sad passing away of The Master Rapper Francis Magallona, the revelation of Bebe Gandanghari, and the deadly and catastrophic swine virus to the devastating demolition of Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton by the pound-for-pound king Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, life never let me miss them.



Now that I'm awake, done some stretching, I'm now rejuvenated to examine every moments of my life. To see the picture not just with what meets the eye but also with the underlying meanings.

Oh yes, I'm glad to be back... (would it be Mayweather Jr. or Mosley?)

Pacquiao And Hatton Showdown Hazy


It’s all about the money. Or is it?

No, I’m not saying both parties are just concern about who get the better cut of the deal. It might appear to be so but I give them the benefit. Local, and even international, papers have got their eyes on this Dream Match(?). (Some boxing fans, and experts, are still doubtful whether Manny Paquiao’s win over the legendary Oscar “Golden Boy” dela Hoya was convincing or just “staged” to increase Manny’s “market value”.)

However, reports (courtesy of Philstar.com) disclosed that “Hatton’s group has been insisting on a 50-50 split on all revenues generated by the proposed fight in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 2 while Pacquiao’s camp wants 60-40 in his favor.” Now apparently, it didn’t get a nod from the world number one pound-for-pound boxer’s camp.

I am no expert in this sport but however you look at it, if you’re on Manny’s side, you might find the proposed split to be ridiculous. I mean, common, it’s the Pacman he plans to face (and even claimed to stop the Pacman’s reign in this sport).

Because of this development Pacquiao’s camp was so adamant that it threatened to abandon the Hatton bout in favor of a fight either against Venezuelan knockout artist Edwin Valero or the retired Floyd Mayweather Jr. Well, whoever Manny fights will surely be in for a tough fight. It has been prove that our “Pambansang Kamao” just won’t fold that easy. Well, as long as it’s not Jinky, the wife, he’ll be facing with. (not to mention Ara Mina or Christine Reyes, just kidding).

Now, who’s up for the challenge?
