TweetI just finished watching the rematch of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao against Marco Antonio “Baby Face Assasin” Barerra live via sattelite at SM Cinema. As expected, Manny won the fight, unfortunately, it was not via knockout but unanimous decision. I thought this was a boring and dirty fight courtesy of Barerra. Barerra’s battle plan is not…

TweetI only have few passions in life, one of which is basketball. It’s the 29th William Jones Cup, though the tournament is not as prestigious as World Championship, Asian Basketball or Olympics, seeing the best players of our professional league slug it out with other national teams in itself is interesting.

TweetManny Pacquiao Scary fight. Everyone expected Pacquiao to dispose Solis in the early rounds, instead Manny can’t connect, and at certain point, received barage of punches.
