just asking?

if pinoys are really world class in boxing, how come only one qualified for the olympic games? Enough with the B.S excuses of unfair officiating… this can be solve by making all our boxers knock out artists.. if pacquiao can do it… im sure others can…. there a lot of pacquiaos out there…. they just have to look hard on the skill not on the money they’ll be making out of these boxers… these so called trainers wanted their wards to skip amateur competition and went pro asap because thats were the money is. f bombom baustista and others were absorb by the national team…im sure with his power and speed… boxers from cuba may look like a punching bag…
why not make roach the national coach..?? why not????

China has done a good job… from the opening and to its medal standing…

But the Americans and its brother British has trying to pin down its performances and its accomplishments… from the opening ceremony with the fire works, singing child performer, and now to its gold medal winner on gymnastic…

If this gymnast was truly an under age, why they are questioning it only now, why not during the submission of list of athletes or screening period, with their own representative, which I’m sure they have…

With the opening ceremony which most people amazed with the performance of Chinese… why again, these people was creating and making simple things into a big controversy…

These country or these people doesn’t want to accept that Asians, like Chinese, Koreans and other Asian personalities in sports can beat them in Olympic which they dominated previously…

Who cares if there are faked materials used by Chinese during the ceremony?… what is important was… billions of people who watched the opening ceremony has observed and witness that it’s really great and China did a good job…

So to Americans and British better luck next time and try hard to surpass the performance of Chinese…

Pacquiao, world class as he is, is not a guarantee that he will win gold in the olympics if ever he will be allowed to join it. He may lost on points as amateur is scored differently. The filipino boxers are still using that old filipino style that is trying knock down the opponent. Onyok has a very ideal style for amateur but he is lacking in reach. The boxing style that would be perfect for olympic is that of Jerry Penalosa and Gorres. With the defense of Penalosa, we will surely be successful in amateur. I remember he should have represented us in the olympics but there was some kind of misunderstanding between National and Cebu boxing official then. Gorres can’t knockout his opponent but in amateur, he don’t have too. Even Roach will not fit as amateur coach. We need new officials to to handle amateur boxing. GO for gold then was successful.

I think Bush should take a look at his own backyard first. He is not credible enough to talk about religion. After what he did in Iraq and earning the hatred of much of the world and he’s talking about religion? My online bible serves better.
