Philippines VS Mexico Once Again!


SCY Four Years in the Making, the countdown begins and let's get ready to rumble!
Pacman (Manny Pacquiao) [color=red]VS[/color] Baby Faced Assasin (Antonio Barrera)
Filipinos, boxing fanatics and sports enthusiasts, what are your predictions?
Me, Pacman by Knockout at 8 round.
Website here: http://www.mannypacquiao.ph/
burton Yeah, this is gonna be a cracker, no doubts about it! Possibly the fight of the year... Am a big PAC fan, and Barrera is my least favorite out of the Mexican boxers, so I hope Manny does it again... BUT, you can never, never count Barrera out! He has become a real crafty veteran in his later years and if he chooses to box intelligently and stick out that jab of his, well it could be a long night for Pacquiao! But hell, I just reckon there's no stopping Manny right now. If anyone can do it, if anyone has got the energy and the KO factor, it's him! I go with SCY: either a KO around RD 8 for Pacquiao. Or a points win for Barrera! :twisted: burton [color=red]LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!![/color]
SCY Burton, I think it's too late knocking Barrera out in round 8. Pacman knockout Morales in round 3, but it wasn't a good show because the main event lasted for 9 minutes only! :lol: PACMAN has to knock his underdog opponent out before the 12 round ends because he could hardly win the score cards. I would like to see the Mexican slugger kissing the canvass again. Manny became very well known in Mexico after he knockout their legend i.e Antonio Barrrera. He also knockout Erik Morales. And still a draw with Marquez. Geesh, I just love watching this sport. It's real and there's drama. panaghoy hey sc, r u watching this at the comfort of ur house? or u know any nice place to hangout and watch this match? studstar pacquiao in 5 rounds,, KO of course burton
Hi SCY,
Yeah, the end came pretty quick for poor old Erik. Actually, it was kinda hard watching that last fight because he's always been one of my favorite boxers...
I agree with you, Manny needs the KO. He can't afford to let it reach a points decision. Especially against Barrera...
Yep, there's a whole lot of drama! Been a lot of speculation too, rumours etc about distractions in Manny's camp, Barrera getting KOed in sparring (is this too fool Team Pacquiao into letting their guard down??)...
Well, all will be decided on Sunday (UAE time) morning! burton
I'm sure there will be at least three Filipino bars showing the fight live.
In the past, they have shown Pacquiao fights at Regent Palace, President, Ratsky etc...
One place which will definitely be showing it live is 'Tia Maria' in the Chelsea Hotel. And that is where I will be in the early hours!
:D SCY Thanks for that beautiful photo, burton! After losing the May Election back home, I think Manny has to vent out his political frustrations in the ring. Hehehe! Freddie Roach has said Manny is ready to win the score cards. He earned more technical skills during the training. Mexico wants Pacquio and Philippines wants Barrera! This has been long over due for the two countries to watch. Tickets Sold Out and Betting is getting more exciting with Barrera as the underdog. :lol: Can the Southpaw knock out Baby faced Assassin once again?! hmm..Let's watch this bout! SCY
Me and the rest of the Filipinos will be there too! hahaha..

burton I quite like 'Tia Marias'. The band suck but the actual place is a bit more chilled out than some of the other clubs... I was there about two months ago for the Boom-Boom fight - just me and the two managers at 4 in the morning, not another soul in sight! Oh well, perhaps we'll bump into each other then SCY. In the meantime, you can enjoy this little advert I found: / Seems that Erik has become more popular in defeat! :lol: DaWarrior Hi there guys! Ei burton, how are you doing? My prediction is Manny Pacquiao by Unanimous Decision although I'm still hoping he'd score a KO. Manny has gathered up alot of strength the last time he fought Barrera and the fact that he has developed his right hook and jab is something to watch out for. yujinn
ironyX2! :lol:
Pacquiao by KO in 4th :wink: SCY
What the heck?! Our very own Philippine Magnolia Company hired Erik to endorse their beverage products and doing commercial ad along with our champions - Patrimonio (Basketball) & Angel (Actress). :shock: I didn't see that advert. Hmm..the boxer is now a commercial product endorser.
I doubt Erik went to Philippines for the shoot, but he's still handsome.
------------------
It was hard for Erik during the bout. He has misunderstanding and not in good terms with his father trainer during his bout against PACMAN. Behind the scene situation does affect boxer's performance in the ring.
-----------------
OK, Let's reminisce the 1st fight of Pacman and Baby Faced Assassin.
ME: I was happy that Pacman won, but i shed tears when the brother of Barrera went inside the ring and throw white towel to his bloody brother. It was a real life drama and very touching also. Filipinos and Mexicans couldn't forget that dramatic bout.
How about you? What do you remember about their first bout? burton Hmm... I just remember Barrera getting more and more worn out, just gradually falling apart at the seams...and then, becoming more and more disillusioned and petulant - lots of pleading looks/calls to the ref etc.. That's probably the main aspect of his character that I don't like - when his plan is going well, fine. No problems. But he can start to 'play up' a bit like a kid when things don't go his way. Just take a look at the Naz fight, and even more recently against Marquez... Aside from that, just the general feeling of history being written before our very eyes. It was, after all, one of the greatest boxing upsets at the time. And the official entry onto the boxing world stage of the Pacman. After that fight, everything changed! SCY Barrera's rematch with Morales was terrible. They're both pissed in and out of the ring. It's also evident that Barrera is a dirty fighter. But they've learned something from Manny i.e Sportmanship. Manny told them, they're enemies inside the ring only, holding grudge like what Barrera & Morales have for each other, is giving the sports of boxing a bad name. burton Check it out people! Pacman in training, on the bag and focus mitts: Believe! Medvezhonok God help us if the philippino guy doesn't win, because it will be followed by the most unprecedented amount of whining the world has ever seen. "the IBF is trying to be funny even if it means stooping so low to offhandedly rig a fight. I believe this is racial prejudice against Filipino boxers. Maybe the ignorant promoters don't know that the US recognizes boxers and professionals from the Philippines without even requiring them for additional beatings in the US. We’re calling Filipinos in Middle-East NOT to support BOXING AS A SPORT. Disgusting! Public Apology is mandatory." :roll: burton
Blimey, I can sense another blow-up! No comment!

:lol:
But in all honesty Med, since you have made the remark, Filipinos - generally speaking - are not regarded as 'whingers'.
In fact, it's quite the opposite - the accepted stereotype is their ability to look on the bright side of life and laugh in the face of life's troubles, the daily grind and even things of more disastrous proportions...
Medvezhonok
Ok, it must be just a few that signed the petition and their health secretary (who apparently has more important things to do than attending health issues, like sending angry hate mail to TV shows) who are whiners, most Filipinos are nice people though. RedLion I think it will be Pacquiao by 5th round stoppage. At this point of his career, he is just too unstoppable. His speed, power and age will be his main weapons. If it goes the distance, it will probably go to Barrera. He's quite a savvy and very adaptive to different situations. He is a true boxer-puncher, definitely one of the best featherweights of all time. But he may be at the twilight of his career. RedLion
say, what? :lol: burton Damn! I just spoke to the manager at Tiya Maria, Chelsea Hotel. They are NOT showing the Pacquiao fight!!! I hope to god I can find another place. If anybody does know a club or bar which is showing it, LIVE, please update us... :cry: :evil: :evil: SCY Damn 2! Filipinos and boxing fanatics in mid-east cannot watch the show live via webcast. :evil: burton Pictures from the weigh-in:



Still haven't found a place to go see it live!
Time is running out, the hour approaches...
:cry: SCY Thanks for posting that photos Burton. Geesh, Barrera is still "Baby Faced" despite the extreme preparations and hardwork. Manny looks shock! We've subscribed to Orbit "Pay Per View for dhs. 45/-". I have to wake up as early as 4:00 am tomorrow. SCY [color=red] CONGRATULATIONS MANNY "PACMAN" PACQUIAO! [/color] You made all your kabayans proud of you!
Perfect Match, Excellent show! Pacman is now the Super Internatioanl Featherweight Champion of WBC, and the Republic Enemy of Mexico (as per the commentator) :lol:
In fairness to Barrera (Baby Faced Assassin), he's still the technical and intelligent fighter of all time. His aim is not TKO, because he would like to retire from the boxing world gracefully, and he got it. NO TKO, but lost the score cards.
Everybody is happy with their bout, and most especially the Philippines!
Hmm..I am looking forward to a rematch of JMM and Pacman. yujinn Congrats! Though I wasn't able to watch it... :( *whine* *whine* *whine*..... SCY You can still watch the re-play. The fight ends in 12 rounds with Barrera trying his usual dirty tricks in round 10. Pacman by unanimous decision. :D My first time to watch Manny winning the score cards. And yes, his speed and other technical skills have improved. Thanks to his american trainer, Freddie Roach. Very nice bout, you better watch it! burton Aaaaaarghhh!!!! DaWarrior, I'm gonna kill you!!! :evil: So here I am, been waiting to download this fight all morning. And of course, I've been avoiding any news/results of the fight - you know, looking forward to watching it and finding out myself. What happens? DaWarrior sends me a text message ( I didn't think not to open it) telling me the result!!! :( :cry: :lol: DaWarrior Sorry burton, didn't intend to ruin it for you. :roll: Thought you were able to subscribe pay-per-view. burton
Nah, jus kidding. :wink:
Anyway, am not really sure if I missed much - the reports I am getting say the fight was poor, definitely one to forget...Barrera happy just to survive and Pacquiao showing none of his spark.
In fact, a lot of peeps are saying Pacman looked decidedly off-form....could this be too many distractions? Late training?
This is just what I'm hearing, will see the fight for myself but at this rate, I think JMM will be screaming for a rematch...
:shock: Medvezhonok Played Fight Night Round 3 last night, I picked Joe Frazier as my fighter and that skinny chump Paquio or whatever his name is as the opponent (and by "opponent" I mean punching bag) just for the fun of it. It was a slaughter. Each of Frazier's overwhelming blows resulted in jaw-dropping damage to Pacaio's puny frame, the sound of breaking ribs only adding to Big Joe's determination to obliterate his weaker opponent. Nevertheless, Paqaio persevered with the stubbornness of an epileptic child fighting a grizzly, only to be KO'd in the first round after a devestating haymaker from Frazier landed straight to the pinoy's glass jaw loosening a few of his teeth in the process. All in all it was an awesome fight, my only regret is that it only lasted 52 seconds. SCY :lol: In your dreams... Medvezhonok
No, on my PS2 burton
Heh, that's the beauty of Fight Night,
mis-matches plus creating your own characters...
Of course, the incredible part is that the real Pacquiao in real life - all 130lbs of him - would inflict the same kind of damage on you, me or anyone else on this forum, as his PS2 generated likeness was made to suffer at your hands...
:lol: SCY Most Filipinos could not afford PS2, but look what we've got in our PS5. :lol:
Pacman the contender:
One of the best trilogies in boxing history:
&mode=related&search=
The controversial Draw:
Enjoy! Medvezhonok How could they not afford a PS2? You can pick up a used one for 200 Dhs. studstar
used PS2s in philippines cost around 500Dhs, and the average monthly family income is 800Dhs RedLion
for the not-so-knowledgeable about boxing.....
Weight matters alot in boxing- that's why you have different weight classes. Pitting a superfeatherweight against a superheavyweight is a complete mismatch whether you have it in real life or in PS2's fight night. Frazier would definitely annihiliate Pacquiao the same way Pacquiao would dismantle a Minimumweight boxer. :lol: :roll: Medvezhonok
Damn, and all this time I thought they had weight classes just for the heck of it, who could have ever guessed it was because weight matters?
The whole purpose of the fight was to smash Paqaio's face in. The featherweight class (aka boxing for sissies) is not boxing. burton
Lol! Med, you're quite funny mate. Either you are:
1) Blatantly taking the piss, or
2) Admitting that you know nothing about boxing.
If it's the first one, by all means keep it up. I can take a laugh!
:lol: :wink: RedLion
yup, it's just like lewis ternman's proposed scale for classifying IQ scores
Over 140 - Genius or near genius
120 - 140 - Very superior intelligence
110 - 119 - Superior intelligence
90 - 109 - Normal or average intelligence
80 - 89 - Dullness
70 - 79 - Borderline deficiency
Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness
see you around, minimumweight! :lol: SCY Med, :shock: But, as what Burton said, "i can take a laugh." I can too. Umm..try another strat to piss and diss...g'dluck. Medvezhonok
I see that when it comes to grasping sarcasm, you're as expert as a palsy victim performing brain surgery with a pipe wrench.
I used to think "you have a low IQ" jokes were funny, but then I turned 12. Medvezhonok And SCY, you can take a laugh just about as well as Pacaio can take a right hook from Frazier to his glass jaw. If someone whining about a quip on a TV show doesn't deserve the label sissy , then I don't know who does.
Hope I didn't hurt your feelings, I'll be sending you a box of Tampax to help you deal with your constant PMS. RedLion [quote="Medvezhonok"]
aawww..you can dish but you can't take? :roll: 8)
seriously, man, if you know nothing about a particular topic, why don't you just not comment about it? just because you're hiding under a cloak of anonimity here on the net, doesn't mean your lack of knowledge can be hidden too. :wink:

... and about pacquiao's jaw:
have you even seen pacquiao's real (not playstation :lol: ) fights? if there's anything wrong with him, it's not his jaw. it's his footwork. that's what makes him look awkward (although he's shown good improvement since his first fight with morales) everytime he gets hit in the head . his three losses were against:
1. torrecampo- courtesy of a wicked body punch (pacquiao was a VERY YOUNG fighter)
2. erik morales - on points
3. medgoen singsurat- body punches (pacquiao lost the wbc fly title at the scales- since he didn't make the weight limit, he was stripped of the title which also means pacquiao got dehydrated trying to make the WEIGHT)
the only fights i remember where pacquiao was knocked down with a punch to the jaw were:
1. nedal hussein- pacquiao got up and beat him by 10th round TKO
2. Serikzhan Yeshmagambetov- pacquiao got up and beat him by 5th round TKO (this was pacquiao's first fight as a featherweight).
glass jaw? i don't think so, buddy. :lol: Medvezhonok
Wow, so he has the ability not to get knocked down in fights against guys who barely weigh more than my girlfriend? SNORE. I've lifted dumbbells heavier than this guy.
While we're at it, lets also claim that 4 year old kindergarten bullies don't have glass jaws because they win fights against their equally feeble classmates.
You do make a good point however, when you talk about... oh wait, my bad, I started reading my response to you; you have no good points. RedLion
:lol:
i get more satisfaction in taking a crap than discussing boxing (or anything) with you. you basic knowledge about the sport and your logic is waaaayy below par. Medvezhonok
I must have missed the part when this turned into a "discussion". Wow, if only I had galvanized the sarcasm so clearly in my previous posts, you wouldn't have made this shallow assertion. Oh wait... I guess I did make this case, and you ignored it. My mistake.
Stupidity this severe can't be fixed. It's like trying to stop the flow of a volcano. The best you can do is hide and hope that the stupid doesn't contaminate you. RedLion
oh, you mean that feeble attempt to save face? :roll: yeah.. very brilliant. Medvezhonok
No moron:

Holy sh*t, how can people be so stupid? Is there no end to the barrel of stupid they drink from? RedLion
okay... 8) Medvezhonok
You wouldn't happen to be this guy's cousin would you?

Looks like Pinoys run out of originality rather quickly. SCY
I am done with this. Filipinos like me who signed the petition get what we wanted - ABC apoligized. Enough said.
And oh, tampax isn't for Filipino ladies (99.9% of filipino ladies don't wear that thing, that's too invasive for us), try recommending other remedies for PMS. Perhaps you can recommend tampax to other posters who are whinier than i am (as you say). I have not posted "rants and whines" on a daily basis. Check the DF trend, if you know what i mean.
Hmm.. please pick someone else now.
