Manny Pacquiao vs. Ricky Hatton: What Are the Possibilities? 2008-03-04 05:39:13 Just saw an interesting read on the possible match up between Filipino boxer Manny
Pacquiao and Englishman Ricky
Hatton. Amidst Top Rank promoter Bob Arum’s views that it could happen before the end of 2008, a fight between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton may be unlikely. The Pacman is not in The Hitman’s plans despite Bob Arum’s mention that the fight may take place in November 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada, or Dubai, U.A.E. Ricky Hatton, 29, is scheduled to stake his IBO light welterweight title against Juan Lazcano in Manchester on May 24, 2008 or at Wembley Stadium on May 31, 2008. And if he wins, The Pride of Hyde will possibly face Italian-American Paulie Malignaggi in September 2008 at the Madison Square Garden in New York City. Further down the road, Hatton aims to meet F Read more:Possibilities

Manny Pacquiao as The World's Hardest Puncher! HBO 2008-03-02 09:56:27 Does Filipino boxer Manny
Pacquiao, aka Pacman, really have the power to go up against the likes of Ricky Hatton or even Oscar dela Hoya? Well, according to HBO boxing commentator and respected analyst Larry Merchant, the answer is a definite yes! In a recent HBO article, the 77-year-old Larry Merchant says, “Pacquiao is a freak in terms of his punching power. Pound for pound, Pacquiao is the hardest puncher in boxing, and when you can hit like that it sometimes makes up for shortcomings." In a poll carried out by HBO, fans were asked to rate boxing’s hardest punchers. There were 18,000 hits, and guess what, the 29-year-old Manny Pacquiao came out on top! The Pacman garnered a whopping 29% of the total votes! The Filipino pugilist started out as a light-flyweight (107 lbs) but is n Read more:World

Leonardo Dodong Andam and The Deano Cue! 2008-02-25 08:57:49 I let Leonardo
Dodong Andam, aka The Rattlesnake and one of the Philippines' billiards greats, play with the Deano Cue. The Filipino pool player played with the Deano cue at the AMF-Puyat Superbowl, Makati Cinema Square, Makati City. Dodong Andam was pocketing balls 1 to 5 in a 9-ball rack when he suddenly stopped. He looked at the Sneaky Pete and looked at me. "Where is this cue made, Champ?", Dodong Andam asked in Filipino. Then he started pocketing balls again. After pocketing all the nine balls on the table, Dodong remarked, "America, Champ?" I was so surprised about his guess and all! However, I just smiled when he remarked, "America." You see, when I initially asked him to play with the Deano cue, i did not tell him anything about the cue - not its history, its maker, no nothing. I a

DubShop and Silverwind: Automotive Lifestyle At Its Finest! 2008-02-03 06:21:57 I was cruising along Timog Avenue, Quezon City last Thursday when I came upon DubShop, a one-stop shop of light alloy wheels from around the world. I was in awe and all from what I could see outside the store. I wanted to enter the store and shop for a new set of wheels, but running late of a scheduled meeting, I just took note of DubShop's phone number (+632 413-3185) and jot it down for future reference. Having some free time this Sunday morning, I decided to contact DubShop and ask if they were open for business on Sundays. I highlighted my interest in choosing a new set of wheels for one of my vehicles and all. To my surprise, the voice of the person who answered my call sounded familiar. It was James Liu, one of my buddies at the Makati Pool Players Association (MAPPA)! I was mor Read more:Automotive
