Boston Celtics
Wednesday, April 8, 2009As the NBA season is about to end, the Boston Celtics found themselves in a tight competition in becoming the best team in the League for the second straight season. The Cavaliers and the Magics are two teams which give them pressure in acheiving their goal to have a homecourt advantage in the entire playoffs.
The Celtics have been troubled with injuries in their roster, including injuries to Kevin Garnett and Brian Scalabrine.
The Celtics looks to be comfortable by being the second seed in the Eastern Conference Division but they look to finish the season strong to keep the teams competitive juices ready for the playoffs.
Pacquiao destroys the Golden Boy
Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao shock the world of boxing as he destroyed the legacy that Oscar “The Golden Boy” Dela Hoya has created for himself. Pacquiao was the underdog before the fight with the analysts asking “why did Pacquiao ever took the fight”.
Dela Hoya has been fighting in the 160 lbs division in his latest fights, he is practically taller than Pacquiao and he is even more decorated compare to anybody that Pacquiao has fought in his career. Pacquiao, the smaller and faster fighter was terribly in trouble as the fight was put on paper.
Pacquiao proved every doubter wrong as he made Dela Hoya to surrender way before the fight was over. Pacquiao has then cemented his status as the boxing’s best pound-for-pound fighter. Dela Hoya was virtually hit by almost every shot Pacquiao has to give; right hooks, straight lefts, uppercuts and bodyshots. Dela Hoya looked very old and slow against the Pacman that night, a very painful view for the Golden Boy’s followers.
Now, Pacquiao looks forward to meeting the English Hitman on May 2nd and again promises another exciting fight.
Nogueira vs Mir
*Late post*
Frank Mir is finally back to his status as the UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion.
Mir was calm and relax as he was able to use his boxing skills on Nogueira. Minotauro was virtually hurt by Mir’s uppercuts, hooks and jabs. Mir was also fighting a very smart fight agains Minotauro. Knowing that Minotauro is best with his Grappling(Jiu Jitsu), Mir avoided tie-ups with Nogueira and box him on his feet.
After the fight, Mir looked for Brock Lesnar in the crowd and told Brock that he had something that Mir owns.(Referring to the UFC Heavyweight Title)
Brock Lesnar chose Mir to win the fight as he was asked before the match. Lesnar said that he wanted to avenge his loss to Mir during his UFC debut.
