Bloody Brawl

i had a dream last night that manny pacquiao was bloody all over. a zombie out of a b-rated filipino movie hack. as it turned out, cotto got turned into minced meat. which reminds me, me kasabihan tayo na kung ang tao kino-cotto ang cotto hindi pwedeng tinatao. kung kaya when manny was asked why he thought he had the edge over cotto, he quickly replied "aba syempre sa hidden soldiers ano! di kaya ng kuto at kung ano pang garapata yan! and reminder to all my pans, tonayt is the nayt i make history. i am the only living legend. so let's go and celebrate christmas with ginebra san miguel an if you have hangout then relax, take alaxan and drink your magnolia milk first before sleeping." hmmmm. photo courtesy of Ryan Araneta

King Kong Wins an Oscar!

de la Hoya was quoted a day before his fight that he's ready for King Kong. King Kong won an Oscar (pun intended) - so I guess he was predicting the outcome of his fight with Manny The King (Kong) who won in a thrilling match that saw Oscar throw in the towel at the 8th round. At the end of the day, Oscar is still the bigger winner: making millions out of the fight, heading the Golden Boy productions, movie star looks and a potential career as an international actor. On the other hand, even Manny won't make the King Kong production, even if he wears the monkey suit. Don't get me wrong, Manny rocks! if he can only train his fists on some hanger-ons in his entourage maybe he can achieve the business savvy that makes Oscar the bigger winner.

The Grudge Match

The Grudge Match 2nd Friendship Amateur Boxing Match May 4, 2008 Paseo Verde Czar Amonsot AJ Banal Rey Bautista Z Gorres ALA claim to be home of the Cebuano Boxing Champions. With world-class brawlers such as Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista, AJ Banal, Z Gorres and Czar Amonsot you know that it is not an idle claim. You probably won't be picking any fight with this bunch even if you are backed up by the combined forces of the bloods or crips gang. ALA is THAT scary. When Holiday Gym & Spa (HGS) agreed to an invitational match last year (2007) versus ALA i was muttering to myself - oh well, they're probably tired of their boy band faces. Admittedly, the client-fighters of HGS illicit more squeals not because of their fighting skills but because the girls in the gym find them hunky chunky tasty and firm to the bite. like that hotdog brand, purefoods. but like what dear old murphy said: if something can fuck up, bet you it really is going to screw up. and yes, HGS screwe...
