Donaire’s Hands Cleared of Major Injuries

Just recently, Nonito Donaire Jr was able to bag the WBO superbantamweight title over Wilfredo Vasquez Jr and prove again that he belongs to the great boxers that we have today. He was able to win a split decision after 12 rounds of boxing, but the news got serious when after the bout and after the gloves was removed, there were bloodstains on Donaire’s right hand and his left hand is swollen.

It was believed that the damage to his hands was the result of him pummeling Vasquez. He said he hurt his hands between second and fourth round, but still able to stagger Vasquez in the ninth round that brought his opponent down to the mat for the count.

After the match, he went to the doctors and had an MRI on his hands. It was reported that his hands did not have any major injuries, and it looks like no delays will occur for his next fight, which will be against former WBO superbantamweight champion Jorge Arce.

A while ago while I was browsing through other boxing news, I got to this online shop boxxerworld.com which sells great stuff such as mma shorts, boxing shorts, jackets, beanies and caps. I just couldn’t resist it and I went to buy boxing shorts.

Take a look at what I got! Great Stuff!

Mosley Up for the Ride, Claims Pacquiao Using Steroids from an Anonymous Internet Source

Just days after the Pacquiao-Mosley fight, Sugar Shane made an offensive attack against the Filipino slugger, but not how every boxer would do in a fight. Mosley saw a tweet, took it, and ran with it like a gospel in the bible as he preached the following in his own Twitter account:

“Pacquiao ex-sparring partner came out a couple days ago stating that he would inject him w steroids – since Ricky fight look that up”

This statement was quoted literally just days after his poor-performance lost in the ring from a source only known as “The Shadow”, where an alleged Filipino ex-sparring partner of Pacquiao said he regularly injected the WBO champ with HGH/insulin.

The same exact tweet can be seen in Bella Gonzalez’s (Mosley’s girlfriend) Twitter account. Continue reading

No Mayweather VS Pacquiao? Well, bring Donaire-Montiel at least!!!!

Fernando Montiel vs Rafael Concepcion Fight Result: Montiel wins by 3rd round TKO

Montiel once again proved his abilities after beating Concepcion hours ago via 3rd round TKO. Now it’s time for promoters to setup a fight between Donaire and Montiel. Being a Filipino, I’d definitely route for Donaire but after seeing Montiel fight his last 3,4 or 5 fights, Man! Montiel is definitely someone to be scared of in his weight division. Yes, Montiel was definitely beaten by Z Gorres years back but then still he was gifted a win via decision (a fight which should’ve been a win by Z Gorres). After that fight, Montiel definitely came back with vengeance and he really improved his skills. I love seeing those double hooks he throws to the head and body (they’re definitely paralizing!). A Donaire and Montiel fight is something to be excited about by boxing fans! I’d definitely love to see this fight more than a rematch between Cotto and Pacquiao. This would be the toughest fight for both fighters! Donaire would surely use his height, speed and reach advantage while battle-tested Montiel would use his power and experience to catch and hurt Donaire. I’d give Nonito a slight edge because of his speed and height. Definitely, some of those lightning quick punches would catch Montiel’s face or body. If you’ll look at the two fighters, you would think that Donaire is quicker but if you look closely, Montiel’s hands are also quick. Donaire might be quicker on his feet but Montiel has same handspeed as Nonito or even a split Continue reading

Mayweather VS Pacquiao: Bring it on! Ok, Keep the fans waiting!

This was one of those rare mornings that has ever been. Every morning, as soon as my eyes open, I grab my Ipod to check out the latest news in Pacland! Well, it’s just a surprise that the site is down because of too much connections! It redirects to another websites and it shows an error: “Too many connections”. Well, it then came into my mind that perhaps, millions of people have been waiting for the news! What is it? Then I remembered, it was the date of the deadline given by Bob Arum to Floyd Mayweather to sign the contract. Perhaps many people are anticipating whether he would sign the deal or not. Well guess what, it’s been hours after the deadline but Mr. Mayweather was a no show as expected. Do you think Mayweather would just come in and sign the contract upon Bob Arum’s request? Of course he wouldn’t! It would just Continue reading

Philippines vs Puerto Rico

Last Sunday was not quite a good day for Philippine Boxing. Thanks to Nonito “The Flash” for saving the day. I screamed in awe when I saw Bernabe Concepcion hit JuanMa flush in the jaw. I simply thought that it would be a turn around of events after Concepcion has been battered in the first round. In the second round it just showed that there’s really no chance of Concepcion beating the Monster JuanMa. It was an expected result though but I just thought that he’d get lucky. Almost Bernabe… Almost!

Another fight that day that turned disappointing was Eden Sonsona’s fight with Jonathan Oquendo. I thought that Sonsona would get through all the way, but the opponent’s dirty tactics simply prevailed. It was such a disgust and this fighter should be banned from boxing or perhaps he Continue reading

Pacquiao against all odds

Love this picture I’ve seen over the internet a few months back especially that picture of Oscar Dela Hoya sitting on he’s stool! Just imagine the Lil’ mighty congressman from Sarangani Philippines banging up all these guys at the same time! LOL!

Moruti Mthalane: A preview of Nonito Donaire’s opponent on November 1, 2008

Who is Moruti Mthalane?

A while ago I got to watch the tape of the fight between Moruti Mthalane and Hussein Hussein. The fight was kinda lopsided since Mthalane dominated the whole fight. Mthalane throwed a lot of combinations with a lot of speed and pinpoint accuracy which gave Hussein a boxing lesson. Mthalane hit his opponent in the head and the body. He also has a lot of head movement which makes him hard to hit. He’s defense is also tough and he always covers his face with his gloves. Whenever Hussein hits him on the body, his elbows are always there to absorb the punches. Continue reading
