box_g_pacquiao01_400Its finally official! According to reports on ESPN.com, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao (47-3-2, 35 KOs) will take on “The Golden Boy” Oscar Dela Hoya (39-5, 30 KOs) in what could go down as one of the greatest boxing matches in the history of the sport. Both fighters will meet at a catch weight of 147 pounds which requires Dela Hoya to drop to a weight he hasn’t fought at in close to ten years while at the same time forcing Pacquiao to move up two full weight classes.

Both fighters who are well renown for their success in multiple weight divisions will test their mettle in a battle for stereotypical title of being called greatest pound for pound fighter. Dela Hoya currently has the edge on Pacquiao, owning six division championships to Pacquiao’s five.

The fight scheduled to be held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on December 6th, has already started a huge buzz among boxing fans around the world and moments after its official announcement, the phone lines for reservations were buzzing with calls.

Personally I think this is a huge boost for the sport of boxing which has been in serious decline over the past few years. With the rise of mixed martial arts as the worlds most dominant combat sport, its nice to see boxing take back the center stage if only for a moment. Although I do have my doubts about Pacquiao’s ability to compete with a fighter so much bigger and stronger than he is, I’m going with my Filipino heritage and cheering on Pacquiao to shock the world!

Most watched Cartoons of the 1980′s

These were the cartoon’s I’d rush home to watch after school. I’d take the T.V. Guide and highlight all the shows and times so I wouldn’t miss them. Personally, I feel I had the privilege of growing up in the greatest decade of animated television. I can’t see any of the cartoons of this generation coming close to the stuff we had back in our day.

G.I. Joe

“A Real American Hero” It was America vs. The COBRA Organization. The most memorable character for me was Cobra Commander. That eerie laugh of his is unforgettable and recognizable anywhere. The infamous Dreadnocks from the swamps were pretty cool as well and I think it was Zartan who could blend in with the swamp?? Let’s not forget Golobulus and the Cobra La faction. Golobulus’s flying bodyguard Nemesis Enforcer was a beast! He kicked major tail until he met up with Sgt. Slaughter who I thought was overrated! lol. Other favorites of mine included Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Roadblock, Gung-Ho, Mercer, Tunnel Rat, Destro, and all COBRA’s Viper teams. Ninja looking soldiers were just too damn cool!
