Manny Pacquiao beat the crap out of Miguel Cotto

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!!!!
