Manny Pacquiao: Towards David Diaz and Oscar dela Hoya!
2008-03-26 10:21:00 From what I?ve read and saw on television, Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao , aka The Pacman, prefers David Diaz above anyone else. A third fight with Mexico?s Juan Manuel Marquez is not high on the WBC superfeatherweight champion?s agenda, at least not for his next fight in June or July 2008. Manny Pacquiao believes that if he fights Juan Manuel Marquez soon, it may appear to be too personal between them. However, Manny also stressed that the fans will get what they want, and all things put aside, everything depends on the promoters. And the price, of course! A third one with Marquez is rumored to net the Filipino boxer a cool $8-10 million! I guess the Unfinished Business is neither over nor finished! *much thanks to Gang for the picAll roads lead to Manny Pacquiao moving up in weight (lightweight, 135 lbs) and challenge American-Mexican David Diaz, giving the Filipino pugilist a shot at a fourth world title in different divisions. The other possible candidates are Joel Casamayor and ... More About: Oscar

Five-Year-Old Cancer Patient, Gaven Cox, Makes A Wish!
2008-03-23 18:54:00 Here is a touching read about 5-year-old Gaven Cox, a cancer patient who was granted one wish by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The heart-moving article was written by George P. Slefo and Killeen Daily Herald of KDHNews.com. Five-year-old Gaven Cox was given one wish to do anything he wanted.Instead of asking to go to Sea World or to meet Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, Gaven modestly asked for some McDonald's food. The child's parents laughed and told him to make another choice."He told us he wanted to be an Army soldier," said Melissa Heminger, Gaven's mom. "I was a little bit surprised that he asked for McDonald's, but in reality, he wanted to be a soldier since he was 3."Gaven, who is diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, was granted one wish by the Make-A-Wish-Foundation.Heminger said Gaven's stepfather was a former soldier and his Army medals fascinated Gaven.While the Army has age restrictions on how old a person must be to enlist, it decided to make an exception.Gav...

Manny Pacquiao is The WBC Super Featherweight Champion of the World!
2008-03-16 09:29:00 Filipino boxing sensation Manny Pacman Pacquiao is now the WBC Super Featherweight Champion of the world! Manny Pacquiao won the world title from Mexico’s Juan Manuel Marquez via a split decision, emphasized by a knockdown in third round and a charge in the latter rounds of the match to win by split decision. Tom Miller scored it 114-113 and Dwayne Ford had it 115-112 both for The Pacman, while Jerry Roth had it 115-112 for Juan Manuel Marquez. This is Manny’s seventh fight in a row - improved to 20-1 since 1999, with his only loss in a 2005 decision to another Mexican, Erik Morales. In that same span, Juan Manuel Marquez has lost only twice, the other time in 2006 to Chris John of Indonesia. The win improves The Pacman’s record to 46-3-2, while Marquez slid to 48-4. Juan Manuel Marquez moved fast, had good movement, and in my opinion, had more good body punches and counter-punches. But in the end, Manny Pacquiao got the better end of the exchanges and proved to be the better... More About: World , The World
