SAN FRANCISCO--No less a sagacious, perspicacious boxing oracle than 83 years young Don “War A Week” Chargin finds it ironic that Mexican ringmaster Juan Manuel Marquez is exiting, stage left, from Golden Boy Promotions to insure that he does nail down a historic third fight against Pinoy Idol Manny Pacquiao.
SAN FRANCISCO - It was expected to be mere batting practice for power hitter Mercito "No Mercy" Gesta, this rematch with Mexican Genaro Trazcanos.
SAN FRANCISCO - Promoter Don Chargin thinks Mercito Gesta's rematch with Genaro Trazancos, who the Cebuano stopped in seven rounds last year, will serve a purpose. The fight is set to take place this coming Friday at Longshoreman Hall in San Francisco, California.
Manny Pacquiao and his lovely wife, Jinkee, could be described as knocked out by their meeting with President Barack Obama Tuesday afternoon.
WASHINGTON--I don't know if former amateur boxer and Nevada Sen. Harry Reid ever promised Pinoy Congressman Manny Pacquiao and his "boxing campaign manager" Bob Arum a Rose Garden, but he surely delivered one Tuesday afternoon.
WASHINGTON, DC.-- Freddie Roach, Manny Pacquiao's beloved from Boston to Bacolod trainer, turns age 51 come March 5.
In the interest of fairness and accuracy, let me note that Alex Ariza vehemently denies that he is no longer working as the strength and conditioning coach of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Last week rumors spread that Ariza was dropped from Manny Pacquiao's team, but the rumors were later proven to be untrue. I understand that Ariza is telling other reporters that Pacquiao's agent, Michael Koncz, is spreading these rumors.
It's Valentine's Day, a time for making up rather than breaking up, one might think. But outspoken conditioning coach Alex Ariza, who was recently canned by world champion Amir Khan and who fired back that the fighter's manager-father, Shad is "a cab driver" out of place in big time boxing, seems to have split the sheets with yet another star. Shah Khan was a cabdriver or cab owner before his son became an international ring star. Ariza, a native of Colombia, seems to be in solid with his highest paying client and Main Man-ny, last name Pacquiao. But a boxing birdie reported to me Monday morning that Ariza, who once repeatedly pimp slapped Pacman agent Michael Koncz during a dispute in Baguio, has separated now from another Freddie Roach trained boxer, Mexico's rising star Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr.
If she didn't know it before, female boxer Melissa St. Vil knows it now.
No doubt that Manny Pacquiao is the world's most popular athlete, never mind boxer.
