Is Manny Pacquiao Praying This Gay Thing Will Go Away?
San Francisco, CA- Yesterday and today, the Internet, huge news sites, as well as those involved with boxing have taken Manny Pacquiao to task for his reportedly saying, “All Gay Men Should Be Killed.” Pacquiao did not come right out and deny these charges, nor did his promoter Bob Arum. Instead, they went into “Damage Control” mode.
PACQUIAO HAS SAID SO MANY STUPID THINGS!
The “heat” that Pacquiao has been taking is almost unprecedented in boxing annals. I mean, Floyd Mayweather says stupid things, but he doesn’t quote the bible or side with a belief that there should be a Holocaust on Gay men and Lesbian women. Oh I forgot, like a majority of men who abhor Gay men having the same Civil Rights that heterosexual males have, Manny didn’t indicate he had a problem copping a free peek of “girl on girl” sex at YouPorn.com or any of the other free pornographic sites.
ON CONDOMS, HOW MANY PEOPLE DID MANNY KILL?
When the most decorated athlete in Philippine history came out over a year ago and said that, “Using a condom was a sin,” I was the only writer who spoke about the impact of his comments. First of all, the guy doesn’t use condoms, for if he did he would not have at least one child out of wedlock. The fact that the mother has to go to the media begging for “child support,” this again illustrated Pacquiao’s shortcomings as a man.

San Francisco, CA- White Cubans, particularly those in Florida are one of the strongest political forces in this country. Unlike their fellow but Black countrymen, White Cubans do not feel the wrath of discrimination here that those with nappy hair do. It has always been that way, and it doesn’t look like it’ll change, not in my lifetime anyway.
FIDEL CASTRO OUTLASTS SEVEN U.S. PRESIDENTS
While I know this will probably get me in “hot water” with my former writer turned political columnist, Frances “The Fight Chick” Martel, Cuba hasn’t done any harm to the United States, even though the “out of control” Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been plotting to assassinate the Cuban leader since 1959. Every other country in the world has trade with Cuba, except the United States of America. Why? Because of the power of those White Cubans in Florida!
CUBAN FIGHTERS LIKE BLACKS ON PLANTATION!
In recent years, we have seen a good many Cuban athletes come to the United States and prosper. Baseball players, they have made out the best, while some Soccer (Futbol) players have enjoyed marginal success. But you can’t find one Cuban boxer who has reaped seven figure bounties in the USA. Even though the Cuban’s have put forth the best amateur boxing teams in the last quarter century.

Fitting Picture of Homophobic Pacquiao
San Francisco, CA- Although I didn’t think I’d be writing about Manny Pacquiao twice within three hours, I feel compelled to write about what a homophobic, hypocritical son of a bitch he is! I get my haircut by a Gay Filipino and have for years. I know openly Gay men of just about every ethnicity because I was born in and was a San Francisco Policeman. Last week, Pacquiao, already out of his mind because he and his promoter Bob Arum know that Floyd Mayweather will lick him like a stamp, said that, “All Gay Men Should Be Killed.”
WHAT KIND OF PERSON THAT BELIEVES IN GOD WOULD CONDONE KILLING?
An uneducated prizefighter who has infidelity issues, problems paying child support for an out of wedlock child he created, a man who is so haunted by Floyd Mayweather that he feels compelled to espouse ignorant rants because Mayweather has turned the table, one that was once in Manny’s control against him.
“THE GROVE” WOULDN’T ALLOW MANNY IN THE MALL!
While some of these so-called Born Again Christians, a variation of the Christian cult, may agree with Pacquiao, the bottom line is that when it comes to talking about killing Transsexuals and Gays, Manny Pacquiao is talking about a significant number of the Filipino populace, not to mention worldwide. While wanting to go a Los Angeles mall called “The Grove,” Pacquiao, who was supposed go live on TV with Mario Lopez, was told he was not wanted on the premises. Officially, “The Grove” put it like this. “Manny Pacquiao is not welcome at The Grove and will not be interviewed here now or in the future.”

UFC Czar Dana White
San Francisco, CA- The “promoter of the decade,” make that the promoter of the 21st century, Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) missed his first ever UFC event Tuesday night as he prepares for surgery on Wednesday in Los Angeles after being diagnosed with Ménière’s disease. The Tuesday night card on Fuel TV featured a main event that was an epic UFC encounter between eventual victor Chan Sung Jung, AKA the “Korean Zombie” and Dustin Poirier, but White wasn’t there for the first time in 11 years of being the face of the UFC.
SUFFERING FROM DISEASE FOR MONTHS
For many months, White has not felt right. At one press conference, after UFC 141, the room started spinning around and White, an avid orator, cut short the post fight press gathering because he was about to pass out. Ménière’s disease is a build up of fluid in the ears that results in Vertigo, a loss of balance, migraine headaches, as well as dizziness and potentially a permanent loss of hearing.
DANA’S CONDITION CAME TO CLIMAX LAST WEEK
While meeting with Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta, White’s condition became so bad last Tuesday that he left the Red Rock Casino in a wheel chair. Thought to be darn near invincible, White was a true workaholic who was dedicated 24-7 to the Ultimate Fighting Championships and their incredible growth from a company that lost $31 million before becoming a $1 billion entity. Quite simply, during the first decade of this century, MMA, particularly the UFC, was the fastest growing sport, some say, in history.

Has Manny Pacquiao Been Reduced To Black & White From Color?
San Francisco, CA- The Manny Pacquiao-Tim Bradley HBO Pay Per View fight on June 9 is hurting badly for publicity. Some say it’s because Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto put on such an entertaining, albeit one-sided, battle on a fortnight ago, that boxing fans might need 200 MG of Viagra to “get up” for Pacquiao-Bradley.
FORECAST SAYS WORST PACQUIAO PPV NUMBERS IN YEARS
When I hit on my TV ratings source on Monday afternoon, he was of the opinion that the Manny Pacquiao-Tim Bradley PPV numbers will bomb when compared to Pacquiao’s numbers before and for last November’s razor-thin (see controversial) decision over Juan Manuel Marquez. Is it because Bradley is unknown (not a big name) outside of a circle of boxing purists?
EXPERT SAID PACQUIAO HAS “LOST HIS LUSTER”
“When the decision giving Manny Pacquiao the win over Juan Manuel Marquez, the best thing promoter Bob Arum could have done from a business stance was to do it again,” said the cable TV guru. “They weren’t going to make a Floyd Mayweather fight, if that was their (Arum & Pacquiao) intention they would’ve pled their case right then and there with the whole (boxing) world watching.”

Chan Sung Jung-Dustin Poirier Pre-Fight
San Francisco, CA- In the old days of boxing, Korean fighters were considered “easy marks” for the most part. One famous and now retired writer used to refer to Korean pugs as “Pee Su S*it” #’s 1, 2, or 3. While the Korea had some good fighters, the majority were not. That line of thinking may have followed over to the UFC and Mixed Martial Arts, as Chan Sung Jung, better known in MMA circles as the “Korean Zombie,” was a heavy underdog entering Tuesday night’s UFC main event on Fuel TV.
BOOKIES DON’T DECIDE FIGHTS, FIGHTERS DO!
Airing live from the Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA, Dustin Poirier (12-2) was thought to be the superior fighter as he entered the Octagon to batlle the “Korean Zombie.” Poirier was in control early on, but when Jung took him down, the tide began to change. Handling Poirier from a side mount, Jung nailed Dustin with an elbow that opened a huge cut in Poirier’s cranium that was ugly to put it mildly. But Poirier was not detoured as he regained control of the action as the two stood and fought to conclude the opening round.
“ZOMBIE” WORKED WELL ON THE FLOOR!
When Jung caught a kick from Dustin in the second stanza, it put Dustin on his back where the “Korean Zombie” landed a number of solid strikes (punches). Although Jung did well on the ground, it was his out punching Poirier standing up that was a bit of a surprise.

Karim Mayfield
San Francisco, CA- If you have had a lengthy tenure writing about boxing, or even athletics in general, you always have the “home town guy” problem. What I mean by that is either you “shill” for the local guy or tell it like it is, meaning you let the chips fall as they may. When I picked Andre Ward to win the Gold Medal in 2004, I was accused of “shilling” by one famous radio talk show host in particular.
S.F. BAY AREA HAS PRODUCED PUGILISTIC GREATNESS OF LATE
The same thing happened when I predicted greatness and championship gold for Nonito Donaire and Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero, both multi-division titleholders. In reality, the aforementioned trio, especially Ward, lived up to the raw talent I saw in them as budding amateur fighters and early on as professionals.

Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao Will Never Happen!
Los Angeles, CA- In the minds of his detractors, “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather didn’t look so pretty after his clear 12 round victory over WBA super welterweight (154 lbs) champion Miguel Cotto Saturday night. Say what you want, Floyd sure was effective in beating Cotto to the punch most if not all night. What amuses me about the bout is that some feel because Floyd had a bloody nose and a couple of bruises, people equated that with taking a beating or that Cotto did well. Some people had the gall to even say the fight was close. This fight was the perfect example of the underdog performing better than expected, and Mayweather normally looking unbeatable. Unfortunately for the naysayers, Floyd clearly dominated the fight for the most part. The only thing I noticed and what people tend to overlook is that Floyd is 35 years old and most of all he is human. As Pedro Fernandez stated on Ring Talk Boxing & MMA” radio the day after the fight, and I am paraphrasing, “All fighters get hit!”
WILL FLOYD STAY AT 154?
There are a couple fighters who I’d like to see Mayweather fight as he is now the WBA champion. His mandatory technically is WBA regular beltholder Austin Trout (24-0, 14 KOs), however a bout against the tall, lanky southpaw boxer seems unlikely. Erislandy Lara(16-1-1, 11 KOs) another southpaw with a powerful laser like left hand also seems to be out of the picture. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (40-0-1, 29 KOs) appears the most likely candidate to face Floyd if he stays at 154 for the time being. While the 21 year-old lacks experience, he also has little to no wear and tear. For Alvarez, if there was ever a time to take a risk and step up to that plate, now is the time. Alvarez has size, speed and power, and as good as Floyd looked against Cotto, it’s clear that he isn’t a 154 lb. fighter. No one would hold it against the youngster if he was outclassed against one of the top fighters of the last 30 years.

WBC: “WORLD OF BUNCO & CONSPIRACIES” WITH EITHER JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ?
May 14th, 2012 By Pedro Fernandez
WBC HAS ALWAYS BEEN PRO-JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ BE IT SR. OR JR.
Julio "The Coward" Cesar Chavez Sr.
San Francisco, CA- There was always speculation amongst some boxing insiders that WBC President Jose Sulaiman was involved in the “financial” dealings of both Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. and Ricardo Lopez, something I could never prove. There are a plethora of reasons that have circulated over the years pointing to this, some of them even the casual boxing fan might even have taken note of. After Frankie Randall clearly beat Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. in January 1994, and beat him decisively, I was astonished as was the great boxing odds maker Herb Lambeck, that Chavez was getting all the play in the Las Vegas betting parlors.
HERB SAYS “STAY AWAY FROM CHAVEZ FIGHT”
“Pedro, Randall beat Chavez pretty good in January. Yet, all the wise guys and the Mexican money is coming in on Chavez and big. I’m staying away from this one as I feel that some s*it might occur and Randall gets *******!” The greatest boxing odds maker in history was correct as Randall was beating Chavez in the rematch, then came an accidental clash of heads and Julio quit! It was the eighth round, Randall was controlling and frustrating the Mexican icon who at times acted like a child, although this wasn’t a kid-like move, it was a bitch-move and Julio Cesar Sr. just flat out quit at the at the 2:57 mark of a May 1994 encounter. After the heads clashed, Sr. just turned away from referee Mills Lane and quit!

Andre Ward
San Francisco, CA- The unbeaten World 168 lb. (super middleweight) champion Andre Ward (25-0, 13 KOs) will meet Chad Dawson (31-1, 17 KOs) sometime in September in Ward’s adopted hometown of Oakland, CA. Born in San Francisco, Ward began his boxing career that included an Olympic Gold Medal in 2004 and culminated with his winning the “Showtime Super Six 168 lb. Tournament” in December 2011 with a UD 12 over Carl Froch.
INJURED WARD FOUGHT WITH BROKEN HAND
Although he continues to draw critcism by some members of the media, Ward shined in his 12-round win over Froch, especially seeing the converted left hander was fighting with a broken left hand. Throughout the tourney, Ward showed his supremacy at 168 and appears to be looking for “bigger fish” to fry. Dawson is coming off a 12 round rout (even though one judge called it even) a fortnight ago over Bernard Hopkins.
PLOT THICKENS IF DAWSON CAN MAKE 168!
Reportedly, Dawson has stated he would be willing to come down to 168 lbs. and put READ MORE…
Anthony Dirrell
BEATS CANCER & LOSES TO ASPHALT!
San Francisco, CA- At one point and time not so long ago, the other Dirrell brother, Anthony, NOT Andre, was fighting for his life against an almost unbeaten foe in Cancer. After beating “The Big C” (non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma) and with a proposed WBC 168 lb. title fight on the table for July, Anthony (24-0, 21 KOs) got into a motorcycle accident over the weekend that resulted in his breaking an arm and a leg!
DIRRELL BROS. HAVE “DARK CLOUD” SYNDROME
One might recall that Andre Dirrell, who in the minds of some is the lesser boxer of the two brothers, was seriously hurt after Arthur Abraham hit him while he was down and knocked Andre out. Soon thereafter, Andre (20-1, 14 KOs) took what could best be described as a 20-month “Neurological Sabbatical” before returning in December 2011 with a TKO 2 over Daryl Cunningham.
ANTHONY HAS HAD SHARE OF PROBLEMS!
In 2008, Anthony was arrested on suspicion of robbing a Franklin Bank branch. After being pulled over by the Flint, MI Police, driving a car that resembled the one used in the robbery, Anthony had a handgun in the car. He was released the following day and no charges were ever officially filed. Having been to Flint, I can tell you that I might want to have a gun if I were driving around the impoverished and crime ridden community.

WEEKEND WRAP OF BOXING AND MMA FEATURING ROBERT GUERRERO
San Francisco, CA- The one-hour Sunday edition of “Ring Talk Boxing & MMA” differs from the Saturday show in that we combine boxing and the UFC into a one-hour package, while the Saturday show is two hours long with an hour on boxing and the the other hour on MMA. On this particular show we were joined by Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero, and we talked about his WBC welterweight (147 lbs) fght in July. In addition, Robert expressed his views as to whether or not he thought that the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight, if it ever happens, will be a competetive fight! “The Ghost” accused one of the two or fighting behind “Smoke & Mirrors.” Listen and let the darts fly!

Pasig City, Philippines- Brian Viloria, (112 lbs), Wiapuha, Hawaii TKO 9 Omar Romero, (112), Guadalajara, Mexico
(WBO 112 lb. title). Viloria (31-3, 17 KOs) was all over Romero (31-5-2, 13 KOs), punching him at will, thus causing the corner to stop in at 2:07.

Carlos Zarate-Alfonos Zamora
San Francisco, CA- They used to call Alexis Arguello, “The Explosive Thin Man,” and it was a fitting moniker. Still, being around the fight longer than I care to admit, Carlos Zarate fir the “Explosive Thin Man” tag more than the late great Alexis. I’m not going to beat around the bush here, when Zarate wrested the WBC bantamweight (118 lbs) crown from Rodolfo Martinez in May 1976, he was already 39-0, 38 KOs. At 5’8 and at 118 lbs., the Mexican truly was an “Explosive Thin Man.”
TITLE WIN EXPECTED AS ZARATE LOOKED UNBEATABLE!
The Gonzalez win in May 1986 was expected as Zarate, in boxing circles was thought to be the “unstoppable” force at 118. Always “fighting sharp,” Zarate fought the following month in addition to in August 1976, both KOs before defending the WBC diadem against Paul Ferreri of Australia, who had lost only three times at that point before being stopped (TKO 12) and eventually retired at 78-13-5, 26 KOs. Two fights and KOs later, both title defenses against Japanese journeyman Waruinge Nakayama (KO 4) and Fernando Cabanela (TKO 5) before the fistic meeting known around the world as, “The Battle of Z Boys.”
“BATTLE OF Z BOYS” A FIGHT FOR MEXICAN PRIDE
Zarate vs. undefeated Alfonso Zamora (then 29-0, all 29 KOs & eventually 33-6, 33 KOs) was such a big event with Zamora being the WBA champ, Zarate the WBC titleholder, yet this was a “non-title” affair April 23, 1977. Joe Gagliardi, then the Godfather of “Closed Circuit TV” had the fight at a bar in San Jose, CA. What a fight, at least as long as it lasted as Zarate went to 46-0 with a TKO 4 over Zamora. To Zamora’s credit (who finished at 33-5, 32 KOs) as WBA champion he had stopped future featherweight kingpin (then undefeated) Eusebio Pedroza, but Zarate was the immovable object he couldn’t beat.
