Pacman meets the US President

The world's greatest boxer meets the world's most powerful man. Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao visit the White House and meet United States President Barack Obama and had a five minutes encounter with the US President in the Oval Office.

After several victories in the ring Pacman feels another greatest triumph in his life with his meeting with the US President. Everybody must be dreaming of going to the United States of America, much more of meeting the US President. For Pacman, this is a momentous event in his life and one of the greatest thing to happen in an extraordinary boxer turned politician. His visit to the Oval Office glaringly shows that a Filipino boxer must be proud because he has a fan a US President. Pacquiao had continuously gave and uplift the image of the Philippines something that Filipinos should be proud of. And the US Presidents intent to visit the Philippines is an indication of continued support of the US to the Philippines.

We hope that other Filipinos can contribute to repair the image of the Philippines in whatever ways one can do. Give a share because others has done a lot in the likes of Pacquiao and Donaire to name a few.  

Super Bowl XLV: Numbers around the league

  

The Packers joined the 2005 Steelers as the only No. 6 seeds to win a Super Bowl. They are the sixth Wild Card team to win a Super Bowl, and the third team to do so after winning three road playoff games.


The three turnovers played the role of catalyst for the Steelers’ loss, leading directly to 21 points for the Packers. This stat shows the importance of the turnover battle: teams with a positive turnover differential are 33-3 all-time in the Super Bowl. The Packers were +3 against the Steelers and +6 during the 2010 playoffs.


The credit goes to the Steelers for nearly winning a Super Bowl despite those three turnovers. By gaining momentum with a touchdown late in the first half and striking again early during the third quarter, they made a game of it. The Packers failed to convert a third-down attempt (0-for-4) in the third quarter and had one first down before regaining the momentum late.


The man on the look out Mike McCarthy improved to 5-2 in the playoffs and joins Vince Lombardi and Mike Holmgren as coaches to win Super Bowl with the Packers.


This guy Aaron Rodgers didn’t have an epic performance, but he continued a solid run since missing a game in Week 15 against the Patriots due to a concussion. Rogers had 1,094 passing yards during the 2010 playoffs, the second-most in a single postseason in NFL history (behind only Kurt Warner’s 1,147 passing yards in 2008). Rodgers’ nine passing TDs are tied for third-most in a single postseason in NFL history. Rodgers was at his best on his final drive of the game, completing 5 of 6 passes, including a 31-yard strike to Greg Jennings on thirdand-10.


The ever energetic Charles Woodson is the fourth player to win a Heisman Trophy, college national title and a Super Bowl.
A classic style of Jordy Nelson who had an MVP-type performance. Nelson tied a franchise playoff record with nine receptions, and his 140 receiving yards are the fourth-most in franchise history. Nelson and Jennings each had 21 receptions during the 2010 playoffs,  a new franchise record.


 Holding his 37-yard INT return for a TD, Nick Collins is the second player in franchise history with INT return TD in Super Bowl. He joins Herb Adderley, who had a 60-yard INT return TD vs. the Raiders in Super Bowl II.


The Steelers extended their streak to 17 consecutive playoff games without allowing a 100-yard rusher (tied with Redskins for longest active streak in NFL). The Packers bothered to run the ball 13 times, which tied a Super Bowl record for fewest attempts. 


The experience and production of Hines Ward: He now has 88 receptions, 1,181 yards and 10 TDs in his playoff career, all ranking in the top five in NFL playoff history. He has 17 consecutive playoff games with a reception.

A consistent LaMarr Woodley recorded a sack, his NFL record seventh straight game with a sack. His 11 career

postseason sacks ties Charles Haley for fourth all-time.

Nonito Donaire vs Fernando Montiel

On February 19, 2011, Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire will meet the Mexican boxer Fernando "Cochulito" Montiel at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, Nevada to challenge the Bantamweight Champion. Donaire a two division world champion will revive again the long time boxing rivalry of the Philippines and Mexico. A native of Gen. Santos City, Philippines, he has in his record an astonishing  25-1-0, 17 KOs going to this fight. This will surely go to the distance considering the experience and ability of both fighters. Donaire is an intelligent fighter known for his quickness in the ring. A very humble and a discipline fighter Donaire has a big chance to make another  
record in his career. While it is possible to beat the Mexican but Nonito has to maintain his composure and 
tactics to demolish the multi belt Mexican. He has a little advantage over his opponent with his reach of 68" but is much younger against Fernando Montiel at 31 with reach at 66.5" 


Fernando "Cochulito" Montiel is a great fighter in his division. He has won so many championship titles with his record 44-2-2, 34KOs. With an orthodox style Montiel, is one of the many fighters who has a very impressive boxing record. This fight will show both fighters might in the ring and will show who could withstand the pressure. This is surely a fight to watch....
