LOS ANGELES, MAYWEATHER STRONGHOLD, ACCORDING TO HIS FANS


PhilBoxing.com





Happy 4th!

Ricardo Lois, who infamously declared, ?after Oscar hurts Manny with a left hook to the brain, Pacquiao will be doing the crack head dance? and also fondly referred to by Michael Marley as the journalist Frankenstein he created, is on a Pacquiao bashing spree again.

Even after Pacquiao?s annihilation of the Golden Boy and all his succeeding opponents, Mr. Lois has consistently minimized the pound for pound king?s ring achievements.

Sure, he has written some positive articles about the fighting congressman from the Philippines but those articles were littered with ?buts? and qualifying statements. He seems to simply be unable to give credit where credit is due.

He should be writing for Fighthype.com instead.

If I am not mistaken, Michael Marley told me he is a Los Angeles school teacher. I hope he is not sharing his fallacious logic to impressionable school children.

Headline: Los Angeles Likes Mayweather ?Ortiz Over Pacquiao-Marquez.

Quote: ?During a public?press conference for Mayweather - Ortiz last Wednesday night at the L.A. Live complex, I asked approximatley (sic) 100 fans at the event which did they perfer: (sic) Mayweather's move, or Pacquiao third fight with Marquez.
Apparently, Los Angeles is a Mayweather strong hold, with 68 of those polled gave the nod to his fight with Ortiz.?

A grade school tyke with common sense and half a brain would not even conclude to consider extrapolating a Mayweather-Ortiz crowd to represent Los Angeles.

Obviously, it is a no-brainer that other than journalists (or so called ones, like me), everybody in the press conference is either a Mayweather or an Ortiz supporter. What actually is amazing is that, according to Mr. Lois poll, 32 out of the 100 picked Pacquiao-Marquez.

It is like NBC?s Brian Williams polling the crowd at a Democratic Convention who they like, Barack Obama or Sarah Palin and incredibly 32% favored Palin.

Absurd, but even in his own party, Mayweather cannot escape the ghost of Pacquiao.

Ironic that, Mayweather-Ortiz, two Americans fighting in their homeland USA, is sharing the limelight in their own media blitz with Pacquiao-Marquez, two foreigners from far away land,
Another quote: ?If you ask Hall of Fame trainer Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain who won the first two battles between Manny Pacquiao and his fighter, Juan Manuel Marquez - the straight shooting Mexican will pull no strings?.

"We fought 24 hard rounds with a man who has been made into a mythical figure," said Beristain.? "After both fights, I feel my fighter beat Pacquiao, but the politics of boxing took over?.

If you asked my beautiful and wonderful wife, Maria, a certified Hall of Fame person, who is the better writer between Ricardo Lois and Greg Penilla, the straight shooting Filipina, will pull no strings (or should it be pull no punches?).

?After reading and reviewing articles written the past 24 months by both,? said Maria, ?I feel my writer beat Lois, but the politics of sporswriting took over?.

However, if you ask Mr. Lois? mother, Lois is vastly superior to Penilla.

One simply needs to ask the right person to get the desired answer.
