A Lot of Work to Do The Pacquiao-Bradley Fight

Monday, April 02, 2012

Though the fight between Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been cancelled, boxing promoters, including Manny himself, promises their boxing fans, particularly the Filipino people, that his fight against Timothy Bradley will prove to be just as exciting. 

A Lot of Work to Do 
Pacquiao and Bradley are getting an early start on the promotional circuit for their welterweight bout June 9 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas. 

Even while the Filipino congressman and his unbeaten opponent posed for photos and praised each other in the peach-colored ballroom at the historic Hollywood hideaway, Pacquiao and his camp realized Mayweather’s absence looms over the proceedings. 

“I’m willing to fight Mayweather,” Pacquiao said. “But I have to fight the guys who are hungry to fight me. Timothy Bradley is strong, and he can punch. He’s a good boxer, so it’s a challenge to fight a guy like that.” 

Pacquiao, with his record of 54-3-2 and 38 Kos, realizes he’ll have to do plenty of promoting to get fans interested in a fight against Bradley, a 140-pound (63.5-kilogram) champion from Palm Springs, California, who has never been in a fraction of the spotlight that follows Pacquiao across the globe, not unlike Mayweather who have made quite a name in the boxing industry for all his talks and boasts. 

“It’s nice to be fighting a fighter who is undefeated and not worried about losing that zero on his record,” said Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s longtime trainer. Yet Roach repeatedly showed little interest in a bout with Bradley in recent years, citing Bradley’s near anonymity and limited knockout power. 

According to latest Philippines Boxing News, Although Bradley’s record makes him an eminently worthy opponent, he only pulled into prime position for the bout last year when he joined promoter Bob Arum’s Top Rank alongside Pacquiao.

Manny Pacquiao - From a Fighter to Bible Ambassador

Friday, March 30, 2012

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao had been through a number of titles, each of them carrying what he had accomplished through his prowess in boxing. From his starter nickname as Pac-Man, Pacquiao had also earned the titles “The Destroyer”, “Fighting Pride of the Philippines”, “The Mexicutioner”, “The People’s Champ”, “Pambansang Kamao”, “The Fighter”, and the “Pound-per-Pound King”. 


According to Philippines Boxing News, Manny had also plans on many of his businesses. One of those is turning his own bar into a place for bible studies. He also gave all his fighting cocks away so as to prove that he had moved on from that life and into the life with god. 

Boxing Career Now many ask, what will happen to his boxing career? Now that Pacquaio is treading the holy path, many fear that this will dampen his fighting prowess, particularly now that Bradley had agreed to Pacquaio Showdown. 

However, though Pacquiao has vowed to follow the path that god had laid down in him, he will still perform his task as the People’s Champ and the Pound-per-Pound King. And after that, he might finally retire after years in the profession and focus more on being a congressman and as a Bible Ambassador.

When you are young, have you been in zoos, museums and other educational and fun place for kids? 
Well, check out this child-friendly mind museum opens on march 16.

The museum is not a playground, a place to let your kids loose. But The Mind Museum at Taguig (TMMT), which will open to the public March 16, seeks to make science accessible and interesting to kids; it seeks to be both educational and fun for kids.

TMMT promises to be a unique science museum where you won’t have to rein in your child’s curiosity and hyperactiveness. These qualities play to the advantage of kids as they explore over 250 interactive exhibits.

“Think of it as an educational institution,” said Manny Blas, managing director of Bonifacio Art Foundation Inc., one of the museum’s organizers.

“It is a showcase of ‘what we know, how we know it and what we do with what we know,’” said organizers in a press statement. “Teachers can find ways to supplement their science lessons and students can satisfy their curiosity about how the world works.”

The bottom line, organizers said, is to help breed scientific literacy that could inspire people to understand nature and support the sciences. No person is too young or too old for that, they added.

How to fight stressful situations

Thursday, March 22, 2012

Here are ways to move the pressure around and out of your body through what is called energy intervention.

Dead end

Yes, while challenges in life could lead to a dead end, the feeling is just an illusion. Stressful situations trigger fear within everyone. When you are at this point, here’s what you can do: fight depression by first accepting that every cell in your body needs to be revitalized.

When you are depressed, energy is not moving as well as it should. In fact, it gets trapped and is heavy—thus, the expression “I’m down.”

To get the energy flowing again, stretch for three minutes.

Ever so gently, stretch the skin on your face, scalp and neck. Do you know that the effect is beneficial stimulation to the stomach, small and large intestine, bladder and gallbladder?

One quick response is by placing your middle fingers in your upper lip, and tracing the sides of the mouth. Do the same on the lower lip going upward.

Give yourself a light scalp massage while you’re at it by this scalp treatment: Continue reading here...
