Mayweather vs Cotto

Mayweather vs Cotto, both parties have agreed to undergo Olympic style drug testing – a precedent set by Mayweather himself. Mayweather will take on Cotto at 154 pounds, a step up in weight for the WBA super welterweight belt. He is coming off a 10th-round knockout win over Antonio Margarito in December 2011. On the other hand, Mayweather’s last fight was a 4th-round win over Victor Ortiz last September 2011. In over 2 years, he has only fought in 4 rounds.

Do you think Mayweather is going to have problems with Cotto? As far as boxing ring, Mayweather will run circles around Miguel Cotto. I don’t care if he says that Cotto is an undefeated fighter, Cotto got his spirit broken twice, first by Margarito and then by Pacquiao. Mayweather is a master at finding weaknesses in his opponents and he will expose Cotto as a broken down has been and stop him late in the fight. Mayweather is known for his great footwork and speed as well as his unmatched boxing skills. He is highly favored to win. However, Miguel Cotto has a lot of skills, himself.

Cotto does have problems with guys that bring the fight and pressure to him, but Floyd won’t do it. Miguel eats slick boxers for breakfast. Miguel will give problems to Floyd with his shot gun jab and he will try to break him down with ribcage rattling body shots. That new trainer from Cuba gave Miguel renewed confidence in his skills and abilities, plus they will be fighting at 154 pounds with Cotto being stronger and bigger man

Cotto, 31, said he would take that added confidence into the ring against Mayweather. Although he’s the champion, Cotto is a heavy underdog, with many feeling Mayweather possesses superior speed and counter-punching ability.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is 35 years old. He has a record of 42 wins and 0 losses with 26 Knockouts – including TKOs. He has a weight of 147 lbs, a height of 5 feet 8 inches and a reach of 72 inches. Miguel Cotto is 31 years old. He has a record of 37 wins and 2 losses with 32 knockouts. He is 5 feet 7 inches tall, weights in at 154 lbs and has a reach of 67 inches. Both fighters are known to be quick on their feet, both using the Orthodox stance. Mayweather is a very good counter-puncher. Cotto is a solid 154-pound champion who displays great footwork and goes for quick strong punches. The Mayweather vs Cotto will be seen on HBO Pay Per View live on May 5, 2012.

Koncz said he expects to be gone also be a problem with Bradley’s camp, the current undefeated (WBO) Junior welterweight titlist.

“I do not assume there will be a problem from the Bradley side. We came to terms with Top Rank on the fight and Manny has approved everything, “said Koncz. “This morning I had a number of conversations with Bob negotiating the June 9 fight and I relayed everything to Manny.”

The 33-year-old Pacquiao left behind because Floyd Mayweather Jr. select Miguel Cotto for his May 5 fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, while Juan Manuel Marquez will probably face Lamont Peterson in July. The winner of that fight will face Manny Pacquiao in November bout.

Pacquiao carried 53-3-2 win-loss-draw record also includes 38 knockouts compared to 28-0-0 (12 KOs) slate of 28-year-old Bradley.

“We are going to be having conversations with Bradley and Further His management early this week and hopefully finalize the deal,” said Top Rank president Todd duBoef. “But the truth is my agreement with Bradley Certain lays out parameters for a Pacquiao fight, so there is a framework already.”

Called ‘Desert Storm’, defeated Bradley by Joel Casamayor of Cuba via eighth-round TKO on the undercard of Pacquiao-Marquez III on November 12.

“Bradley is a young, undefeated fighter who deserves a chance,” said Koncz with Bradley, compelled to seize the WBO welterweight crown wearing Pacquiao.

It’s been already stamped to us since our forefathers and passes to our next generation. The change of times does not break the preservation of celebrating Simbang Gabi. A traditional Filipino belief, however, is that those who complete the novena will have a special wish or favor granted by God.

The votive masses are held not only in the Philippines but in other countries where there are Filipino communities. But whether the masses are celebrated early in the morning or at night, whether in the Philippines or elsewhere in the world, the reason for celebrating remains the same – we prepare for the Birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.

After the mass, there is another old custom: the partaking of native delicacies sold in stalls outside the church like rice cakes (bibingka), puto bungbong, and suman taken with ginger tea (salabat), coffee or hot chocolate. But we should not overlook the meaning of Simbang Gabi to us. It is not just the custom that is distinguished because we need to do so.

It is important not only it supports relationships among family members but also because it is the stage where our devotion is strengthened. This is the phase where we generally feel the presence of our God because it is the spiritual preparation for Christmas, the birth of Jesus. It doesn’t matter if you couldn’t complete the novena, what really important is what is deep inside our heart.

This Miguel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito 2 fight is something special. Cotto, has emerged as one of the most noticeable athlete. Margarito, was born in California and grew up in Tijuana. Both Cotto and Margarito bring an aggressive style to the ring marked by explosive punching power, a potent left hook and a good chin. Margarito could have trouble trying to counter a relentless attack to the body by Cotto, who has appeared particularly strong since moving to welterweight from 140 pounds in 2006.

Cotto demonstrated his resilience and durability in brutally physical encounters with Zab Judah and Shane Mosley last year. Relying on a more rounded set of boxing skills, the champion should defend his belt for a fifth consecutive time in a close but unanimous decision.

I hope they will gave their best in this fight to entertain their fans and we forget that last three fights happen this year. Boxing fans knows that Miguel Cotto will avenge his defeat against Antonio Margarito. What are you waiting for fans?

San Miguel Corporation is eyeing a piece of the broadband battle with Qatar Telco. Other broadband providers are Lopez-owned Sky Cable Corp., which offers broadband services that piggybacks on its main cable TV infrastructure. The different way to offer broadband services has only reinforced a three-pronged race: cost, speed, and mobility. Unlike households or office-based users who favor the conventional wireline or fixed wireless broadband access, the mobile broadband’s market is individual consumers who are on-the-go.

Considering there are more mobile phone users than those who depend on wireline-based services in the Philippines, an archipelago of over 7,100 islands, experts and industry players have banked on the dynamism of the wireless sector for broadband growth. In fact, Smart has been determinedly sponsoring broadband neighborhood-based Internet cafes to extend wireless usage in remote areas, casually cloaked as a corporate social responsibility effort.

With deep pockets, largely due to Smart’s many years of heavy earnings from the voice and text-based products, it has offered a wide and experimental variety, only to kill the ones that don’t catch fire. In the end, how the changing telecommunications landscape will develop when the newcomers begin to give details of their own bag of tricks will help the consumers in terms of cost, speed, and mobility.

The choice over which phone to get has been agonizing. And finally, the real choice presents itself: iPhone 4G, Samsung Galaxy S2, or LG Optimus 2X? Aw, crap.

After many hours of internet research and interrogating of co-workers, I came to a few conclusions:

• iPhone 4G: I entertained the idea of getting the new iPhone but when I saw how much it costs combined with the subscription to Globe, I changed my mind. It’s not worth the price considering that there were alot of other phones out there with much more features and functions. Personally, I think the iPhone 4 is overrated. But the iTouch, though, that’s sweet.

• Samsung Galaxy S2: This phone is beautiful! I really wanted it when I saw it on the Net and read reviews. After the iPhone 4G, the Samsung Galaxy S2 was my next option and was the first phone that I found on the Net that was labeled as an “iPhone Killer”. I tried out a test unit at one of my student and it was pretty cool. What I really like with Samsung Galaxy S2 is it Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors and 8 megapixel. 16GB/32GB storage, 1 GB RAM. MicroSD, up to 32GB. It comes with YouTube, Calendar, Google Talk, Picasa integration, Adobe Flash 10.1 support. The Samsung S2 is made up of Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread). Android has been in the game for longer, and seems much more committed to fixing bugs and improving the OS on a regular basis. Unfortunately, I’m holding back in buying this one because of its price is insane. P35k? I could spend that kind of money on something else instead.

• LG Optimus 2X: Begun the dual-core revolution has. Dubbed as the world’s first dual-core Android smartphone which made it to the Guinness Book of World Records. LG Optimus 2X is built with Dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 proccessor, ULP GeForce GPU, Tegra 2 chipset. 512 MB RAM. 8 MP autofocus camera with LED flash. 8GB internal storage and microSDslot for up to 32GB cards. Adobe Flash 10.1 support, YouTube, Google Talk, Social networking integration and many others. Despite similar technology LCD isn’t quite as impressive as the iPhone4 screen. At a retail price of Php27,990, the LG Optimus 2X is a good buy and is so far the only dual-core smartphone currently available locally so there’s nothing else to compare it with. My guess is that it will still probably be the cheapest in its class even when the Samsung Galaxy S2 and HTC Sensation.

Among the three choices I’ve presented the Galaxy S2 I think is really what I need. Even my colleagues also suggest it to me. I haven’t bought the phone yet but I’m really itching to get it. See full specs of the Galaxy S2 here. And to show how cool I think this phone is, here’s another video!

“It’s done. The Donaire vs Narvaez fight is happening,” said Arum, “As far as I’m concerned, it’s a done deal.”

Omar Narvaez (35-0, 23 KOs) is southpaw who will be making his debut as a full-fledged 118-pounder. The 36-year-old from Cordoba is coming off a unanimous decision over William Urina in June, the third successful defense of the title he took from Everth Briceno in May of last year. Narvaez won the WBO flyweight belt by beating Adonis Rivas, flooring him once in the seventh round in July 2002. Narvaez then made 16 successful defenses of that title.

Nonito Donaire (26-1, 18 knockouts) last fought on Feb. 19 in Las Vegas, scoring a second-round knockout of Fernando Montiel (45-3-2, 35 KOs). That was Donaire’s 25th consecutive win and his 10th KO in his past 12 fights. It also was the 28-year-old’s second fight as a bantamweight, following a fourth-round knockout of ex-titleholder Wladimir Sidorenko.

Donaire said after facing Narvaez, he will move up to the superbantamweight division and likely fight in January against the winner of the Oct. 1 showdown between WBC 122-pound titlist Toshiaki Nishioka of Japan and Mexico’s Rafael Marquez. Is the Donaire vs Narvaez worth it to watch by a boxing fan’s around the world? Let’s all find out and watch Donaire vs Narvaez on October 22.
