Manny Pacquiao beat the crap out of Miguel Cotto

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

It’s Sunday afternoon (Saturday night there in USA), and we went to 1 of the MANY boxing parties here in Cebu, Philippines. It was a packed house, curtains drawn to give it a more night-time feeling. Big buffet of good filipino foods and a crowd of many pinoys ready to watch Manny beat the crap out of Cotto!

And what happend? Of course that DID happen, just about the entire 12 rounds Manny was beating up on Miguel. Was a great fight, lots of action and goshdamn that Pacman is QUICK!!!!!

Great fight!!!! Congrats to Pacquiao and to Philippines!!!

From the words of our coach Halburt Miller:
“Hey everyone, here is a pic of my travel basketball team, we made the final 4 this weekend in the Moline tournament! I’m really proud of them, they have made tremendous strides this year! The sky is the limit! Enjoy, Hal”

Top row- Pepper, Noah, Richie, Ziggy, Ryan
Bottom Row- Jason, Givon, Nikki, Tyzell, Payton

Being an uncle and brother-in-law to 2 of the teamsters, I am VERY proud of them all also, it was great to see my little-big nephew and his friends schooling the other teams, you can see how hard and dedicated they practiced and learned the game, they ROCK!!!

UPDATE!!!!! I just heard our team won the Championship in Maquoketa this Sunday March 8th 2009 :) GOOD JOB GUYS!!!!

If you want to take a good stab at a marathon, make sure you try out the QC Marathon, it’s bar far the best in the USA.

If you do, make sure you remove your wastes in a proper location beforehand so you dont look like this guy LOL

Payton got 14th place in the 7 year old kids bracket, Maddie did awesome in the 3 year olds. Zachy missed the race, he was too hungover and sleeping:( The Bix 7 is awesome!!! Pics coming soon!

Manny Pacquiao vs Erik Morales!

Sunday, November 19th, 2006

Manny (Pac-man) Pacquiao defeated Erik Morales in their 3rd match together! Manny whooped his ass in only 3 freaking rounds!!!! What a letdown for the Mexicanos!!!

Me being Mexican myself, and watching the fight from the Philippines made it extra special for me, too bad it didnt turnout different. Good thing i didnt go to the betting place like I had planned to, i would’ve lost a lot of pesos betting on Morales

Pacman is unstoppable!!!!!
