PacMan's Corner

Margarita should join women's boxing.

 

Baka pati dun gumamit din siya ng plaster of paris

[Angel0fDeath]

Matagal na yang issue kay Margarito. Nagstart yan nung January match kung saan natalo siya kay Mosley. Tapos nung March nadiscover na yung substance na nakita sa wraps niya ay may elements na makakagawa ng Plaster of Paris. Actually both sides have a case to point out naman pero in the end yung sitwasyon was not good for the sport of boxing.

If you ask me di lang one year suspension of boxing license binigay kay margartio. He should have been banned for life in the sport. If you use steroids in a baseball game, you use an illegal bat in a baseball game, you would be able to hit more home runs. If you use steroids in a weight lifting competition, youd grow more muscles, thus giving you more of an edge. But in a sport like boxing, cheating could actually mean someone elses life. Margarito could have killed his opponents.

 

Hindi malayong ginawa din nya ito sa iba nyang mga laban. Napanood ko laban nila ni moseley. He wasnt the same margarito that defeated miguel cotto. Halatang takot na takot, nawala yung kanyang psychological edge, because alam nya wala siyang pandaya. As far as the boxing aficionados are concerned, margarito turned out to be a fraud, a fake. No one will pay to see him fight.

Looking at the stats page of Cotto and Mosley, I figure that Cotto is the better (easier) foe for Manny. No significant height advantge (they are even, in some listings). Mosley is just TOO BIG. Mosley is no pansy ass dela Hoya. Remember the bad predictions when Manny came up the ring vs dela Hoya? That might yet come true, if he fights Mosley.

Agree, masyadong dehado dito si manny, lalo ung lalaban siya at 147. Siguro mga 143 or 140 ok na. Because that would mean mosely would need to reduce muscle mass to make weight.

With so many opponents that are lining up for the Pacman, it is hard to tell who will be his next opponent. Most people think that either Mayweather, Jr., Cotto or Mosley will be Pacman's possible foe. I'm not sure right now who will Pacman face. But it does not matter for him, as long as he is ready to fight in October. He's not really picky in terms of choosing an opponent.

Latest

 

Ayaw na daw ni Cotto lumaban below 147lbs

 

Malabo namang matuloy yung kay Mayweather parehas silang ayaw ng 50/50.

 

Si Clottey lumulubo daw hanggang 170 kaya hindi uubra.

 

Ang medyo malinaw linaw si Mosley kasi pumapayag sa mga kundisyunes pero mukhang ayaw naman ni Arum at Roach

 

Pag nanalo si JMM pwede ding siya na last fight ni Manny sa 2009.

Manny Pacquiao's 2008 BWAA Fighter of the Year award acceptance speech

 

“Pleasant evening to all the guests, my fellow awardees and the esteemed members of the Boxing Writers Association of America. I would like to congratulate the Boxing Writers Association of America for it's 84th annual awards night. Your long existence only proves that there no association more prestigious than the Boxing Writers Association of America. (applause)

 

You have passed the test of time. It is my great honor and privilege to be chosen as the 2008 Fighter of the Year. It is for this reason that I chose to travel half across the globe to personally receive this award tonight. (cheers and applause)

 

Choosing me as the fighter of the year in 2006 was the highest accolade in my boxing career. Giving it to me for the second time leaves me with no words to express the joy and how grateful I feel. It would surely pain me not to come accept this prestigious award personally. I want to let you know that it is a privilege to personally receive this award and thank everybody for their trust and confidence you have given me. Deep in my heart I know how the BWAA has supported me in my boxing career. The members have been kind and wonderful to me in the write-ups.

 

Who I am, not only in America but the whole world is something I owe to you my friends. And for that, I will be forever grateful. (cheers and applause) For honoring me with this prestigious award, I promise the Boxing Writers Association of America that the boxing fans will see a more exciting Manny Pacquiao, every round, every minute, every second I fight on the top of the ring…

 

I also hope that this award will serve as an example and an inspiration for the young fighters to believe in themselves and keep on dreaming big. Always remember, your dreams will always be inside you. No one can take it away.

 

Having this award now is really larger than life; having to follow the footprints of the legendary fighters. But I didn’t do it all by myself. I had the help and support of many people. I’d like to take this rare opportunity to thank all of them, especially to our God. Without God I am not here. For all the blessing he gave me, Thank you.

 

And to my wife and kids: Jinkee, Michael, Jimwell, Princess and Queen Elizabeth and to my family who supported me- advice, encouragement and comfort over the course of this endeavor having more than I can express.

 

Mr. Bob Arum, my promoter Bob, Thanks for believing in me.

 

To my trainer Freddie Roach, Congratulations coach for being the trainer of the year. You deserve it!

 

To the members of Team Pacquiao, it has been a wonderful year for all of us.

 

To the Filipino nation who continue to inspire me to do my best. To all the boxing fans, to my fellow nominees who are equally great and excellent in their own way. And to all the people and institutions that I forgot to mention who in one way or another contributed a lot to making everything possible for me. Thank you! This is for you!!!"

Galing magsulat ni Gacad. He was the one who drafted and wrote the final script ng speech nito ni Pacman. Well applauded ang speech ni Pacman. Well, siguro, coming from his heart din naman ito. Buti na lang nagpalit ang isip ni Manny. Originally kasi ayaw niyang magpunta sa NYC sa event na ito, buti nabuyo ng mga close friends niya kundi laking disaster dahil mga media and press people ang umaasa na magpakita siya duon.

 

Split decision sina Cotto at Clottley.

[fattyacid]

I was betting for Clottey to win. Nakakatawa lang siya nung nag inarteng pilay so he can get points off Cotto. Clottey could have won that if he didnt thought he was ahead on points, and could have been more aggressive.

 

Para di OT, Cotto could be bigger than Manny but is slow. Manny can knock him down.

[djrs]

injured si PBF... hahahaha. off muna yung laban nya this july...

[omega_jef]

sa performance ni Cotto sa last fight nya with Clottey, kayang kayang patumbahin ni Pacman to up to 8 rounds...

sayang 'yong knockdown ni Clottey sa 1st round. kung hind sya tumumba, kanya pa sana ang round 1 pati championship makukuha nya kay Cotto. pero kahit manalo sya kay Cotto malabong sya magin kasunod na kalaban ni Pacman.

[skitz]

Watched the fight of Cotto yesterday. Manny can take this guy. I was unimpressed. He's slow. Even if he outweighs Manny by 10lbs come fight night, there is no way this man can hit Manny, the way Manny's been moving the last few fights. I'd rather Manny fight him at 147 than Sugar Shane at 144.
