HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU BUDDY, and nice read ...

IMHO Gabriel "Flash" Elorde is still the best figther the came from the Philippines, he was succesful both in (7 1/2 reign as champ)and outside (financially set his family for life),the ring ...

Manny "PACMAN" Pacquiao has a lot of work ahead of him to surpass the Flash accomplishments to become the best fighter from the PI ....

...watched Elorde destroy Harold Gomes along with 30,000 frenzied Filipinos in March 1960 ...

Why the hell would Elorde want to destroy 30,000 Filipinos?
