Of all the locals I think its only Art Dela Cruz and Anthony Dasalla who really went mano a mano with imports, no Sharma-like sucker punching and running.

 

Art Dela Cruz mixed it up with former Tar Heel hotshot Rodney Monroe -- what started out as a fistfight evolved into a wrestling match when Monroe started to literally hold on to Dela Cruz's arms to prevent him from continuing throwing punches.

 

Dasalla on the other hand went toe to toe with Billy Ray Bates -- note that Dasalla has some American blood in him too so though he grew up here and finished his studies at FEU he technically was a Fil-Am.

 

But as far as really standing up is concerned, nothing will beat how Dante Gonzalgo stood up to Presto's Abe King, Dennis Abbatuan and the PBA's most notorious sucker puncher and cheapshot artist combined Bong Ramos. What happened was Gonzalgo dove for a loose ball that went to the direction of the Presto bench, unfortunately for Gonzalgo his momentum forced him to land on top of Abbatuan on the bench. Claiming (during the investigation that soon followed) that he was caught by surprise, Abbatuan started punching Gonzalgo who then naturally retaliated with his own punches, Ramos and King then joined in the fray but both of them also took punches from the Ginebra forward before Gonzalgo disengaged himself from the Presto bench and ran to the safety of the Ginebra side. After the referees sorted things out the four prontagonists together with Aldo Perez (who referees claimed to have also seen throwing a sucker punch behind the head of Gonzalgo) were thrown out. Sonny Cabatu was also assessed a technical for, get this, taking a fighting stance during the melee.

Ay naku, mga iho, mga iha, malapit nang senior citizen here. It was during my early teens na witness ko ang nakakakilabot na rumble. The game was Crispa-Meralco sa MICAA early 70s. Halatang niluluto ng referees (Obias and Cruz) ang Meralco ng biglang pumutok ang bulkan. Binato ng pagkalas lakas ng bola (rinig sa stands yung sapol) sa mukha ni Jawo si referee Cruz. Bumagsak. Sa kabilang court naman hinabol ni Big Boy Reynoso (sentro ng Meralco) si referee Obias nang binigyan ng right hook sa mukha, bumagsak, sabay walang tigil ng sipa ang inabot. I remember yung announcer nuon saying "There's a madman in the court". Sigaw ng sigaw sa mike. Ang tagal nagka awatan. Duguan nilabas yung dalawang referee. Cruz was a dentist at that time sa aming neighborhood. Habang nagkakagulo, may naghagis ng pusa sa court, yes, a cat! Ewan ko kung saan nakuha yung pusa, umulan din ng barya, bote, sapatos, relos.....dahil sa init ng ulo ng mga fans ng Meralco. Ban for life yung dalawang players. (pero re instated later dahil sa pakiusap ng then Basketball Association of the Philippines head honcho Lito Puyat. Sayang daw galing pang national team. Hanggang dito na lang naaalala ko. Dont know kung nagkabati na yung mga refs at sina Jawo at Big Boy ngayon

hahaha.............eto hindi brawl...........pero basahin nyo...................

 

Nikki Coseteng grew up in the shadow of his father’s passion for sports, basketball in particular to which she, too, fell in love with.

 

So that when businessman-sportsman Emerson Coseteng, the founding president of the Philippine Basketball Association, joined his Creator, the chore of managing the family-owned Mariwasa team in the country’s and Asia’s first professional league fell on her shoulder.One of the biggest contributions she made to the league, she recalled, was the institutions of several reforms in terms of officiating.

 

“Ang nakakatawa at talagang hindi ko malilimutan, it all started with a swing at one of the referees that officiated in one of Mariwasa games.

 

“We were playing powerhouse Crispa and leading by three points with only seven seconds left. Natalo kami at the end because of what I considered a stupid call,” Coseteng, who took over managing the team in 1983, recalled.

 

“Although our coach, (the late) Tito Eduque, a gentleman through and through, was pacifying me, saying it was all part of the game, galit ako talaga,” she said.

 

“So inabangan ko yung referee na tumawag on the way to the dugout, confronted him and took a punch at him hitting him on his face. Everybody was stunned at what happened. Yung mga photographers nga hindi nakakuha,” she said.

 

The incident, she continued, led though to several meetings of the board towards aimed at improving the officiating.

 

“Galit na galit ang board, sabi nga ni Leo (the late founding commissioner Leo Prieto) if a woman at that was forced to do something like punching a referee, something’s really wrong with the officiating,” Coseteng, who now owns the Diliman Preparatory School, recalled.

Hi bro, another senior citizen here too :-)

 

I think you must have remembered the brawl between Shin Dong Pa and our own Tembong Melencio during the '73 ABC finals? I've been trying to look for it sa youtube pero di ko makita.

 

Now, those were the good old day!!!

[howarddeduct]

^Bad old days po.

[orionquest]

[kanski]

^Bad old days po.

narining ko nga sa lolo ko yung pangbubugbog nila jawo at reynoso sa mga referee nung panahon pa ng micaa. the worse brawl daw accdg. to him. unfortunately, i couldn't vouch for him at hindi pa ako tao nun. promise.

[howarddeduct]

I think its all because of the tight guarding of Tembong na may siko, patid, at sahod kay Shin. Nag iinit na yung coach ng Korea nuon when he sent in his man-to-man defense against our national team. By the way, the championship was held here sa Rizal Coliseum then Biglang sinuntok ni Shin at siniko si Tembong. Tembong, being a hooded Tondo boy then (walang pumapalag dito nuon!-not even Big J), ayun, nagkagulo, awatan pero not a major rumble. Cooler head prevailed. That was the last ABC Championship tasted by the Philippines. Oo nga pala, patay na si Tembong, namatay sa beerhouse nuong umaawat sa away, nasaksak sa dibdib. Very colorful player and, after 30+ years, I met his son, player ng defunct MBA kaya lang hindi nagtagal, nawasak ang tuhod kaagad. He is now a councilor sa Guagua, Pampanga.

 

Dito ginawa yung tournament kaya ang saya saya ng Pasko dito sa Pinas nuon. Imagine, basketball champion sa Asia! And on to the Olympics! ........................and that proved to be the last...........

 

 

Jaworski was the lead guard of that team alongside Francis Arnaiz, Ramon "Tito" (later called "Mon") Fernandez, Reynoso and William "Bogs" Adornado. Other players in that team included Rogelio "Tembong" Melencio, David "Dave" Regullano, Rosalio "Yoyong" Martirez, Manuel "Manny" Paner, Alberto "Abet" Guidaben, Jaime "Jimmy" Mariano and Ricardo "Joy" Cleofas.

It was also around this time when the nickname "Big J" was given to him, resembling the "Big O" tag given to Oscar Robertson who Jaworski played like.
