From Publisher's weekly: A friend of Gabriel Garcia Marquez (and head of news at a Colombian radio station) says that the author "is putting the final touches to his new novel," after having said two years ago that he was finished with writing. Dario Arizmendi says, "He wrote a first draft which he didn't like, then another, then another; then, with the fifth draft, it was ready." Running about 250 pages, the book--described as "a novel of love"--should be publishable before the end of the year. Guardian

How things change so quickly in the world of boxing these days, especially when you got somebody like Manny Pacquiao whose now being called out by almost every notable and semi-notable boxers within and beyond his weight class.The great Bob arum, Manny's promoter, said looking beyond David Diaz is not something they'd like doing but if Manny does breeze by him with relative ease, he would definitely prioritize a championship unification match between Manny Pacquiao and Nate Campbell. Assuming Manny gets David Diaz's WBC lightweight belt, Manny could be looking at Nate Campbell for his next fight if Bob has his way. Nate Campbell has the rest of the alphabet belts of WBA, WBO and IBF sanctioning bodies.This option jeopardizes the immediate re-match hopes of Juan Manuel Marquez. Bob, for one

Manny Pacquiao wins by split decision in rematch with Juan Manuel Marquez
Some thoughts:
1. Even though I picked Pacquiao to win, I scored the fight a draw. Either way, the fight was so close, that either man could have won.
2. Marquez’s reputation only rises after this fight and he once again has proved himself to be a true warrior.
3. Complaining about the decision is futile (unless of
By Francis OchoaMANILA, Philippines -- Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao is the WBC super featherweight champion of the world. The Filipino stole the world title from Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez, leaning on a third round knockdown and a late charge in the match to win by split decision. Dwayne Ford had it 115-112 while Tom Miller scored it 114-113 both for Pacquiao. Jerry Roth had it 115-112 for Juan Manuel Marquez. The difference in a bout when both men were bloodied but traded hard punches to the finish proved to be a third-round knockdown inflicted by Pacquiao, who improved to 46-3 with two draws. "I did my best. I'm happy because I won," Pacquiao said. "Marquez is a really hard opponent. I expected the fight was going to be hard. He moved fast. He had head movement and more counter

We waited four long years and it finally happened. The rematch was well worth the wait. In 2004, Juan Manuel Marquez survived three knockdowns in the first-round to box his way to a draw with Manny Pacquiao.On Saturday at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Pacquiao (47-3, 35 KOs) won a close split decision over Marquez (48-5, 35 KOs) to win the WBC super featherweight title. The scores were 115-112 Marquez, 115-112 Pacquiao and 114-113 for Pacquiao.The rematch lived up to the hype and had just as much drama as the first meeting. Marquez came out boxing for the first two rounds and stunned Pacquiao at the end of the second.In the third, Pacquiao unloaded with a hard left that would send Marquez down. At that point the war began, with both combatants trading some heavy leath

Less than two days to go before the big rematch and everybody’s excited, most especially in our part of the globe where Manny Pacquaio is all but a national hero. There are streamers announcing the fight, banners of moral support and countless ads promoting specially set up pay-per-view venues for the multitude of pinoy fans without cable.

WHEN you get right down to it, it doesn't really matter that Juan Manuel Marquez is from Mexico and Manny Pacquiao is from the Philippines and their respective countries view their rematch tomorrow night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas as some kind of statement of national supremacy.Truth is, what makes this pay-per-view matchup worth the $49.95 fee is the competitive fire that burns within both men who were left frustrated when their first fight ended in an unsatisfying draw. That was four years ago on a night when Marquez overcame three knock downs in the first round to dominate three-quarters of the exciting bout. Both want to prove they are the superior boxer when the two meet again for Marquez's WBC super featherweight title. "Pacquiao-Marquez I epitomized the best of t
One of the year’s most anticipated fights is the Pacquiao-Morales II for WBC belt at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay on Saturday night (HBO PPV, 9 ET). It’s a must see fight since both sides wants to end his “Unfinished Business” and proves that he is the “Last Man Standing”. Well I guess I need to finish early my household chores before the fight so I can sit back with my hubby around watching the whole game, even the jam-packed commercials, lol. I’m sure time will stop again throughout the Philippines, in the household, along the busy streets and establishments and even combating politicians will surely bump on the venues with wide screen to watch the fight. As for me, of course I want to win my kababayan Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao. Go Pacman!!! How about you who’s y
Unlike Manny Pacquiao's previous bouts, his mother Dionisia said she is not nervous about his impending fight with Mexican boxer Juan Miguel Marquez this weekend.Pacquiao will take a shot at Marquez’ World Boxing Council's (WBC) super featherweight title when they clash in Las Vegas Sunday morning (Manila time).Dionisia said she is confident her son will defeat Marquez. So does her husband, Rosalio, who predicts his son will demolish the Mexican."I have confidence in my son. I know he will win this fight," Rosalio said.But Dionisia said even if she is sure about Pacquiao's victory, she is asking Filipinos to pray for him."To all our fellow Filipinos, please pray hard for Manny's victory. This is the only help I'm asking," she said in the vernacular."Siyempre, iba talaga yung may kasamang
By Eddie G. AlineaON May 8, 2004, then world featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez and Filipino challenger Manny Pacquiao fought in a bloody 12-round match to decide who will be crowned the undisputed 126-pound pound kingpin in the universe. On Saturday (Sunday in Manila), the two of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world will have to do it again what is a more brutal and hellacious duel, this time with the Mexican’s unified super featherweight crown at stake as the first fight four years ago ended in a split draw. Pacquiao, “PacMan” to the boxing world, and Marquez, the “Mexican Dynamite,” went s
I just read an interesting article about the prediction of Top Rank’s Bob Arum on the upcoming fight between Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao, aka The Pacman, and Juan Manuel Marquez. Bob Arum predicts Pacman by KO in the 8th – same as my prediction! Bob Arum, who watched Manny Pacquiao train at the Wild Card Gym, feels that the 34-year-old Juan Manuel Marquez will put up the greatest fight of his career. However, Arum doesn’t believe that Marquez can match up with the 29-year-old Manny Pacquiao. Bob Arum did highlight the fact that Juan Marquez is one of the best counter-punchers in the business, and will do his thing against Pacquiao, who is arguably the most aggressive and the hardest puncher on the planet today. Possible highlights of the much-anticipated boxing bout include Ma

I just read an interesting article from Michael Marley of boxing confidential.com. He wrote about the current fight purse negotiations for the rematch between Pinoy boxing sensation, Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. Here are the first few paragraphs of his article entitled No More Bargain Basement DealsWhat’s fair is fair. Can Juan Manuel Marquez make a big purse with anyone other than Manny Pacquiao? I don’t think so, do you? So let’s do the right thing if, indeed, this is going to be Megamanny’s March 15 fight. Let Pacman out of the financial strait jacket which says he can only get 57 percent of the total purse if his opponent is a Golden Boy fighter.Let Oscar and his pals stretch what Manny gets to 70 percent and give 30 percent to the champ. Pacquaio is the name which will sell the PPV, not JMM’s. I mean even Stevie Wonder can see that.You can read the rest of this article by clicking HEREPersonally, I don't really care about how much Marquez or Pacquiao will rec

After WBC Super Featherweight Champion Juan Manuel Marquez's upcoming defense against Rocky Juarez, he wants to have a re-match against Pinoy boxing superstar, Manny Pacquiao.Manny and Juan have unfinished business to revolve according to Ignacio Beristain, the manager of Marquez. According to Beristain, it shouldn’t be too difficult to arrange now that the problems between Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank are resolved. Interestingly, it was Beristain who refused the offer for a rematch between Pacquiao and Marquez after the boxers fought to a draw. Of course, Juan has to defeat Rocky Juarez at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on September 15th, if he wants a rematch against Pacquiao. Rocky Juarez is the replacement for Jorge Barrios, who showed eye troubles after a medical examination and had to withdraw. Juan Manuel marquez will be on the United States until Sunday because he will be leading the Mexican team which will contest the Boxing World Cup against the Philippines.Manny Pacqui
