"Ganito ang nangyari Tasyo," sagot ni Manding Bisaya. "Tinanong ni amung tonay si Komar ( Kumar) kong panu bokas. Kagaya ng dati e nag- enarti na naman. Bokas, antabayanan mo na lang..."

"Pa-suspense ka na naman Pacquiao!"

Kinabukasan...

"Boss, asan si Kumar? Late na tayo, boarding time na."

"Don't worry Tasyo, naka-una na sya. Isinama ko na sa baggage. Sabi kasi nya kahapon kahit saan sya basta makatipid ang kumpanya."

Abot tenga ang ngiti ni Manding Bisaya habang iniinom ang alak nya, sinusulit ang business class ticket nya!

Tikbalang 2012: Rebirth

The "Beast" is yet to come!

Froch’s win over Bute kills any hope of Pacquiao vs. Mayweather

First published at Boxingnews24.com: By Rasheed Catapang: “I’m always angry.” Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner said in the Avengers movie signifying the beginning of the end for the enemies. It might as well have been Carl Froch saying that. In his own word, he was an animal - the green behemoth unleashed upon a cerebral but helpless Bute. And as Froch ’s brutal honesty manifested itself in the fight as blunt force, the hopelessness of Bute’s cause became more obvious. You know what’s coming but still you’re not prepared. “Hulk smash” is such a wonderful thing to behold. It was perceived before the fight that Lucian Bute would win. After all, he was the talented fighter with the superior skill. The recognized technician should have made Froch crude than he already is and then should have proceeded to dissecting him. It didn’t come to pass. Boxing is not rocket science. If it is, no one was paying attention to Froch’s evolution. Froch is made entirely of different clay, an amalgam of elements forged by the heat of difficult battles. From 2008 onwards, he went against only the best his division could offer. He didn’t always triumph but he evidently came out a better man. A beast forged by fire that Bute is not ready for. There is another thing we can take with us from Froch’s triumph. With Froch’s win over Bute, the superiority of Pacquiao over “Flawed” Mayweather is increasingly obvious. Mayweather has always look good on paper but he has also always taken the path of least resistance. We don’t need a Bunsen burner to know that paper burns. Cotto showed us the real Floyd. Not the modern great many writers painted him to be in that fight but a “Flawed” Mayweather unable to impose his will on a not so willing victim. Applying Mayweather’s logic, and he’s right this time, Cotto is a Pacquiao leftover. How come then that Cotto is not as soft as Mayweather wanted him to be? Floyd couldn’t break him down the way Pacquiao did. He never came close. Floyd didn’t own Cotto. In fact, the opposite was true. Floyd’s face was a bloody mess reminiscent of Cotto’s bloody face when he was at the losing end. Floyd has been feasting on no hopers that it rubbed on him. We are what we eat. Floyd is Bute . And Pacquiao is Froch many times better. Not entirely the truth and not a lie either. Bute is a warrior ever ready to take risk while Floyd would run from it. Pacquiao would deliver his own “Hulk smash”. You’re dreaming if you think Mayweather will stand in the way of that. We weren’t really listening when all along Floyd has been screaming No Mas.

Messiah 666 - Redefining the World

What if everything you had been taught and everything you had learned about the world and religion are but lies? Your whole way of life and your very life is threatened when reality rears its ugly head and comes at you with such brutal force. Pushed to the brink and to the very edge of your existence, you have come to realize but one “Truth.”

But then, you’ve also realized that the “Truth” could not set you free. Rather, it does the complete opposite and drags you deeper to the pit that salvation would come nowhere near.

Welcome to the world of MESSIAH 666. As prophesied you would know the end of the world is near when a whole bunch of Antichrist grabs the limelight – but not for the reasons you and the rest of humanity have been led to believe. There is only one truth in the vast arrays of lies and it holds true up to the very end.

The very end.


We call the that Armageddon. The time when not only man but also gods shall heed the call of battle and fight the final fight. Gods, lesser gods, mythical beings and man mixed it up in recipe sober minds would call disaster.

A bloody disaster.

And such a bloody disaster is what Andrew, Rosabel and the devious Father Paul must evade to make it to the end. At times hilarious but almost always dangerous, their journey would take you to epic heights. (Yes you – you have as much at stake here as everybody else.) And in their quest, the Truth is waiting where it always was - inside you.

As it was in the beginning, so it shall be in the end.

But what is that truth?

That is for you to discover in the world of MESSIAH 666.

You have been warned:

Abandon hope all ye who enter!

The Zoom

The transient rides to nowhere and is everywhere.

The Transcient

The shadow behind you. The glaring light that momentarily blinds you. The here and there and nowhere.
The Ghost. The Transient.
I am.

The 36

(This is historic though none might believe it. But who cares...)

I've seen the Truth. And the truth is ugly.
I've look into man's heart and have seen neither hope nor beauty.
Just emptiness staring back at me.
I've seen the Truth. The truth is ugly.

This is the moment...

"You were always on my mind... you were always on my mind."

Sorry, just can't help it. Just can stop the tears. Flooding my eyes. Can't meet yours. There comes a time. This is such time. I'm sure you are too.

H A P P Y ! ! ! ! !

Finally, the word took on a real meaning.

It's ok. Everybody is.

Now.

Milestone

I really must say today is a good day.

Wake up Mate.

Drive around. Something better is sure to come up.

Floyd Going Gaga

Floyd going gaga: Key to Mayweather – Pacquiao Fight Happening

@boxingnews24

By Rasheed Catapang

There’s no denying the talents Mayweather have that makes him such a massive force to be reckoned with in boxing. In fact, I’d go on to say that at the moment there’s no one at or near his weight that could defeat him. He’s just that good.

Sergio Martinez might be the Middleweight King. I’m sure he’ll lose his crown if he steps into the ring with Floyd. I’d love to see the fight get made though and see the whole process unfold just as I had imagined. Floyd is just that good.

He could be better.

Floyd has that Rubicon he dared not cross. He’ll easily beat anyone at or near his division but the one man who sits atop his own. Perhaps by recognizing the gift of preternatural skills he had in himself, he was alerted the moment the same gifts manifest in others. And for one as risk-averse as Floyd, it must be one scary thought. Pacquiao, by Mayweather’s past and current stance, appears to be just about the man - the sum of all his fears.

We always hear Floyd declaring “Pacquiao’s on power pellets, on this, on that…” but not once did we hear him, or perhaps ever will, saying “the die is cast.”

He had perfected the art of dodging that it might be really wishful thinking at this stage to see him fight Pacquiao. Floyd is just that good.

He’s not great though and will never get there unless an all out war with Pacquiao takes place. Floyd owes it not only to himself but to all boxing fans to cross that rubicon. We’ve travelled this far with him. It’s just one step now to get to that special place. Otherwise, the empire crumbles and we’ll be reminded once more that the emperor really has no clothes.

Mayweather, at the end of it all, will be stripped naked and weighed. Judge against the backdrop of a harsher light, the scale won’t tip in his favor. He’ll certainly be found wanting lacking the scalp of the fighter who matters the most during his time. Mediocre Fighters, Average and Above Average Boxers – he fought them all. But never did he fight an All-Time-Great. The undefeated record won’t stand the scrutiny of time either because we all know by now that Floyd defeated Castillo in their first fight the same way Paul Williams did Erislandy Lara recently – which is he didn’t.

But there’s hope yet. Floyd going gaga in episode 1 of HBO’s Mayweather-Ortiz 24/7 offers hope no matter how slim. He just went ballistic with his dad. All those vitriol, malice and ill will must have come from one deep dark eternal well. Now, if Floyd could just channel those dark thoughts to the proper recipient, he might just go crazy enough to go head on against his real nemesis.

We can only hope because it really is up to Floyd. That Rubicon won’t be there for far too long. It might not be sooner or later than Floyd thinks. It might be too late.

Mayweather’s next opponent is no chopped liver. Ortiz will be more than happy to be the one to cross that line and claim that coveted place. Not farfetched a scene in boxing where stranger things have happened.

Pacquiao - Marquez 3

Pacquiao – Marquez 3 and the Ultimate Guide to Mayweather

@boxingnews24

“There are 4… 5 ways to beat Pacquiao,” Floyd had said so many times. None of them, it seems, involves him getting in the same ring with the little man. Of course we want Mayweather to show us how. But with such reluctance, he appears every inch afraid to try. And nothing in his current stance suggest otherwise.

It might be a bit unfair to question the courage of one who makes a living fighting. In this instance, the words of Blaise Pascal applies: “The heart has its reasons which reason does not know.” Does that make sense to you, Floyd? How apt.

And while we contemplate on that, Juan Manuel Marquez gets the chance to do the job with his third try.

While Marquez gave Pacquiao hell in their first two fights, the soothsayers had end-of-days written all over Marquez this time around. Either people perceived him now to be diminished goods or Pacquiao to be just too evolved – way, way ahead of him by leaps and bounds. No matter though, give it to Marquez because he still believes he’ll win as he believed he’d won their previous fights.

And maybe he will. After all, battles are first won in the minds.

In which case, Mayweather who might as well be 5 fighting levels above the Mexican Warrior, denied himself 3 times (to which Judas by the way did a far better job). By default, he had already lost his war to Pacquiao.

Tyson had beaten Spinks even before he threw the first punch. Mayweather would be damned to go through the motion against Pacquiao. He’s wiser then than I care to imagine. So much for being undefeated.

In reality, Marquez will pretty much once again suffer the pain and humiliation of losing to Pacquiao. There should be no shame in that – it’s just that real champions demand so much from themselves. It’s a better poison though than the pill Mayweather will constantly swallow – enduring the shame of denying destiny’s call and going thru the rest of his life not knowing.

Just who is the better man?

Well, Victor Ortiz might have a say on that if Mayweather is too far gone. This is boxing after all where anything can happen so long as you keep on punching.
