Manny Pacquiao – Miguel Cotto fight is gonna be on November 14th. Both camps are doing so well in terms of training. And I’m sure, both fighters have the same feeling when it comes to who’s gonna win. Of course they have to believe in themselves and all we have to do is wait for the result, come the fight night, whose dream will come true.

Mo Twister interviewed the hall of famer trainer, Freddie Roach. He’s the person most responsible in molding Pacquiao’s being as a boxer. He’s been awarded few times as the Best Trainer of the Year and he was on the show today.

The interview only went on for nine minutes but it was the best one I’ve ever heard. Freddie talked about the training regimen, the difference of training in Baguio and US. Asked about how Pacquiao will knock out Miguel Cotto, getting him in the 1st round is part of their game plans. He also talked about what he likes about Manny in terms of skills. He was also asked a mythical question, who would Freddie like for Pacquiao to fight from the legends. Among other things, he also talked about how he and Manny could have ended a fight if he was to fight with him during his prime.

There’s a lot more they talked about in the 9 minutes interview and I don’t want to keep you waiting. Here’s your chance to listen to it.
Watch the video after the break.

We’re kinda getting used to Vicky being a substitute DJ. She contributes and participates well in the conversation and she’s very cool. Most importantly, generous. The last time she sat in with the DJ’s, she donated 10,000 pesos cold cash straight from her bag just for the game. Today, 5,000 pesos. She can be a bitch, but she preferred not to.

Like what we expect, calls about boob jobs, skin care, weight loss, and thing regarding beatifying oneself will come in. Vicky was always kind enough to share beauty tips and how things are done, but when it comes to pricing, she only had one answer; 819-BELO.

Of course, for her to feel like a real DJ, she has to have a DJ name. Someone suggested DJ Chop-Chop Vicky. I guess DJ 819 is perfect. Whatever.

Anyways, coming to the show on Monday is Manny Pacquiao’s trainer, a 3-time Trainer of the Year, Coach Freddie Roach. He’s not gonna talk about Manny Pacquiao’s training progress, but he’s more concern about the recent calamities that victimized many. He’s also going to talk about the current political situation in the country and how he can help on getting the country on the right track. Let’s also prepare for the announcement of his Facebook and Twitter account, so we can then keep ourselves updated on Manny Pacquiao’s condition.

A Michael Jackson impersonator is also guesting on Monday. Mo said he moves, talks and looks like the late King of Pop.

Let’s all watch out! Good times!

Gad, I hate Thursdays!

After a 2-round TKO defeat from opponent Manny Pacquiao, the British brawler Ricky Hatton admits in an interview that he was devastated and still undecided if he’s gonna fight again after the last. Hatton also told Sky Sport in an interview that he had not anticipated the left hook that destroyed him on the 2nd round.

He also added that if they have only gone a few rounds more, the result might be different, but Manny caught him with the ‘first punch’ he practically threw. That’s what he said. But he also added that he’d rather like what happened, knocked out in 2 rounds, than have had been outclassed by Manny Pacquiao the whole 12 rounds. I think he has a point.

I’ve lost twice and I’ve lost to the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, it’s not a bad way of looking at it, but I’m devastated. I would not have put my money on that happening.

- Ricky Hatton

When asked about Mayweather Sr.’s suggestion to retire, he said:

I really don’t know at the minute, because I never thought that was ever going to happen. But people are still going to see plenty of me.

I’ve been a great world champion, I’ve been the best in the world, and I think I can be the best promoter in the world and I think that is the avenue I want to go down.

I’ve written so many times before about the annoying and lengthy ad placements they put on Manny Pacquiao’s fights and they never listened. Why would they bother anyway?

At least I’ve tried my best to give them some options to get their coverage of the fight better and more favorable to the fans.

• Insert the commercials every two rounds of the fight will be an improvement.
• Keep the ads all over the screen leaving at least 1/4th of the screen for the fight could be a better option. They’re after the returns after all.
• Since they are very proud to announce that they are the official media partner of the fight, they can offer the fight for free. Not a good option for them, but the bottom line is that they must deliver the fight to the public in a favorable 2-way benefit. Whatever!

So they did not listen and now people are annoyed. They just broke the heart of the million fans of Manny Pacquiao yesterday. [Inquirer]

After his camps defeat, the 56-year old boxing coach, Floyd Mayweather Sr., told press that his boy Ricky Hatton should end his career after last night’s fight against the best pound-for-pound champ Manny Pacquiao.

“I would suggest he retire. At the end of the day, it’s his decision. He tried twice. He failed twice. He lose to my son and to lose to someone below that, it’s time to leave the ring. He made a good profit. Sometimes you have to go when your prime is still there”, Mayweather Sr added in an interview.

Wait. Did I get it right? Manny Pacquiao is still ranked below his son Floyd Jr.?

He was trash-talking against Roach’s camp even before during the training period, and yet until now he just can’t stop. Isn’t he the one who needs retirement? I think he just can’t teach right techniques to his boys, does he?

Meanwhile, if Floyd Mayweather Jr. will ever dream of fighting Manny Pacquiao after his fight against Juan Manuel Marquez in July, he might just keep on dreaming. “Floyd Jr. is afraid to face Manny Pacquiao, Roach said. If Cotto wants to come down a few pounds or if Shane Mosley wants to come down a few pounds, we can make that happen.”, the three time best trainer of the year added. [source]

Manny Pacquiao once again proved that he’s not just a boxer but a very good boxer. Pacquiao dominated over Ricky Hatton from the start of Round 1, giving a countless number of fatal blows, two of which made the British fighter kissed the canvas.

Now, Pacquiao didn’t just proved that he’s a better boxer, but also told his opponent that being strong and durable of punches cannot win over him. Ricky Hatton is often known for his agressiveness and ability to take powerful punches from his opponents and be able to win in the end, but this time he ate too much than he could chew which is bad. Hatton ended up lying right in the middle of the ring after taking the most tasteful punch from Pacquiao in round 2.

He could have lasted up to round 3 if he just covered himself in the last seconds instead of fighting back. But then, he will still lose.

Money is power and anything you don’t want to do has equivalent amount that you will give up anything for it. For many of us, losing weight is one of the hardest thing to do, but if there’s a prize money involved other than the benefits you will already get from losing pounds, it could be the easiest task.

Pinoy boxing Superstar, the best pound-for-pund fighter, a winner of 8-straight fights, Manny Pacquiao, recently held a self-sponsored “The Biggest Loser” event for his team (Team Pacquiao), where he gives $2,000 USD for everyone who loses at least 10 lbs in 2 weeks, $3,000 USD for 15 lbs, and additional $1,000 for every pound reduced above 15. One of the team lost 20 lbs, winning him a whopping $10,000 is just 2 weeks. How about that?

Several other team members also won few thousand grands and everyone is happy, except the 2 who failed. According to Inquirer, Manny gave $80,000 all in all. Watch the video on GMA news.
