I tried to focus on the Pastor’s sermon as I sat at the back pew. “Encourage one another” he says. My mind rushes to and fro the Pacquiao – Marquez 3 fight but I knew that the main card will happen past 12 noon here in Philippines, an hour after the Sunday service. So I shutoff my twitter-connected celphone and listened intently to the preaching.
Right after service, I opened my laptop. Since the free livestream site that I used to frequent is down, I had no choice but to watch the match through Twitter’s eyes. Read the rest of this entry »
I haven’t had the chance to follow the badminton tournaments lately. Even the local tourneys I used to join, I skip them for one reason or another. But a lunchtime conversation with a friend, in which he was very animated describing the badminton game he watched on TV, sparked my curiosity.
I know the days of the Kennievic and Kennie are gone already. It’s the teenagers that ruled the badminton scene these days. And our country’s best young shuttlers entered the 2011 BWF World Junior Championship held in Taipei, Taiwan.
UFC 140: Jon Jones vs Lyoto Machida this December 10, 2011 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada will be an exciting fight to watch. The 24-year old current UFC light heavyweight champion will defend his title against the former titleholder and karate expert, Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida.
Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire defeated Argentina’s Omar “El Hurican” Narvaez in an unanimous decision to retain his WBO and WBC bantamweight title belts at the Theater in the Madison Square Garden.
Donaire wasn’t able to show his flash and excellent power and skills as the 5’3″ Narvaez was unwilling to engage throughout the fight. Remember the Pacquiao vs Clottey match? Seems like the Argentinian champ came up only for the money.
All the judges scored the bout for Donaire, 120-108. Now it’s time for Donaire to move up and find a worthier opponent.
A major accident involving 15 cars at the Indy Car Race in Las Vegas claimed the life of Dan Wheldon, the reigning Indianapolis 500 champion and 2005 series champion.
The crash started in front of Wheldon, and his car launched off of a car in front, flipped and erupted in flames. At some point, cars were airborne and upside down. See crash video below:
Dan Wheldon was in line to win $5 million if he had captured the checkered flag at Sunday’s race. He was 33 and left behind a wife and two children.
The Philippine Azkals will meet the Singapore Lions in a football game tonight October 7, 2011, at the 6,000-capacity Jalan Besar Stadium in Singapore. Even though this is just one of those friendlies, Philippine fans are eager to know the results of this game. Philippine Azkals vs Singapore Lions – who will roar loudest, or who will wag its tail in defeat?
A friend already posted in her Facebok page that she is now on her way to the stadium to watch the game live. She was already wearing blue with the Philippine map stitched on the left breast portion. Expected to cheer for the Azkals are plenty of Singapore-based countrymen. Read the rest of this entry »
Welcome to Ceblogger's Sports Blog. I'm no journalist but just a normal fan boy. The posts here are my own analysis of certain sporting events like boxing, tennis and football.
