Where To Watch

Tomorrow is the big day.
Now, I am torn where to watch the Pacquiao-Larios bout. I could watch it at the venue itself which I could do at the last minute ‘coz I know a couple of guys selling their tickets or just go to a local mall and watch it on some bad ass big […]

WrestleMania 22

I know it’s a bit early to be expecting WrestleMania 23 but I can’t help but have that itsy-bitsy-tingling feeling when I saw this poster on the WWE website.

This is my favorite WrestleMania 22 moment. There’s this one match where Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels went against Vince McMahon (Shawn’s boss) and Shawn eventually beat the […]

Another Sent to the Injured List

I think I lost count as to how many people have been sent to the hospital by the world’s strongest man, Mark Henry. I think first it was Batista then Chris Benoit and now it was Paul Burchill.
I saw him just dismantle Chris Benoit by repeatedly ramming Benoit into the steel post. It wasn’t a […]

Batista, Kennedy, back…back

I think I caught Friday Night Smackdown last week and asked myself, “Where is Mr. Kennedy?” Did a little researching and found out that he was out with an injury.
He suffered a torn lat muscle in his back and went on the injured list. I think the same goes for Batista who is also on […]

The Rumble in the Jungle Pt. 2

As Sean pointed out, this IS news. I guess I was just caught up with all the hoopla regarding the impending Pacquiao fight to not notice this.
Well, better late than never.
I remember watching the fight and aside from the great fight between him and George Foreman, all I can remember was how big Ali was in South […]

Ray “Boom-Boom” Bautista

With all the hype surrounding the Pacquiao-Larios fight, it’s worth mentioning that someone may one day follow the footsteps of Manny Pacquiao.
His name? Ray “Boom-Boom” Bautista.
He is just 19 but his record is now 20-0-0 and 15 of them by KOs. He is trained by Freddie Roach and is promoted by the Golden Boy Oscar […]

Larios Just Wants to Fight

He has already arrived in Manila. With that, he says a lot of things.
He told reporters he is ready.
He wants nothing from the mini-bar. He was said to be at 133 lbs and is slightly above the limit which is 130 lbs. No problem for Larios, at least that’s what his promoter Rafael Mendoza says.
He […]

Doug Fischer’s P4P List 06-2006

Since my good friend Jet mentioned that Doug Fischer has a new Pound for Pound list out, of course I had to check what the fuss was all about.
I just have one question right off the bat.
- What is a pound for pound list?
Of course I’ve heard of this but I had to research a […]

Hulkamania in Manila!

I know we’ll all be dancing with glee like a bunch of monkeys in the rain to hear that Hulk Hogan is coming to Manila.
Say what?
Let me repeat that for a second. I just said that Hulk Hogan is coming to Manila!
Hooray! Ok, maybe not.
When I told my friends, some of them were less excited […]

Pacquiao Sluggish

I hate to say this but I told you so.
It was a good thing Pacquiao decided to train in the States and is on the last stages of his training otherwise he wouldn’t be ready for the fight. This was obvious during his first sparring session in the country in which Roach found it so-so.
Roach […]
