Margarito-Pacquiao MASSIVE SLIDESHOW, BIG FIGHT NOTEBOOK

THIS IS IT, WHITE GORILLA MICHAEL’S MARLEY MASSIVE MANNY PACQUIAO-ANTONIO MARGARITO BIG FIGHT MASSIVE SLIDESHOW AND EQUALLY AWESOME NOTEBOOK

ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES

GRAPEVINE, TEXAS?There won’t be too many Ghanaians at ringside or anywhere else inside Cowboys Stadium Saturday night for the Antonio Margarito-Manny Pacquiao rumble and understandably so.

Ghanaians who turned out at the same venue on march 13 were sorely disappointed by the less than stellar fight effort given by their then favorite son, Joshua Clottey. All the son of Accra, son of glorious African nation that Ghana is, did was a 12 round cover up which made for a one-sided and boring bout, none of which was Pacman’s fault.

But boxing’s legendary Ghanian is here the HOF former world champion, my good and highly respected former ?colleague? at Don King Promotions.

SEE VIDEO BELOW OF MASTERFUL ?PROFESSOR NELSON?

Yes, I am speaking of Azumah ?Zoom Zoom: Nelson, known to many as ?The Professor? for his polished demeanor and conduct inside and outside the ring.

SEE LIFE, TIMES OF THREE TIME RING KING AZUMAH ON WIKIPEDIA.

?I came to talk to Bob Arum about some boxers I have, including my own son, I hope to meet Manny, I think he is a great fighter and great ambassador for our sport. I hope to take some pictures with Pacquiao.?

Nelson is a wealthy businessman back home.

Another Pinoy celebrity was taking photos with fans in the Gaylord Texan Hotel lobby, the legendary politician and power broken Gov. Chavit Singson.

No, the Governor did not bring his pet lions or tigers with him. Something to do with aviation rules and procedures. Evidently only so called human beings who are terrorists can fly where they like.

Certainly this hotel, which barred Manny’s little Jack Russell named Pacman in March, would not let Chavit’s really wild animals roam the grounds.

It is fight time in Arlington, Texas.

Pacquiao UD 12 although the scoring might be a bit warped.

ONE REALLY RELIGIOUS ITEM TO WRAP IT UP

One of Manny’s personal priests if Fr. Marlon Boef, great padre and great guy.

The padre used to work in Westchester County, New York, but got transferred to a parish in Oxnard, California, where Margarito is trained by local hero and ex-world champion Robert Garcia.

The padre’s new parish is 50/50, half Mexican and half Filipino.

Talk about a parish divided over a sport event, lol.

God bless them all.
