Mayweather vs Ortiz Result: Mayweather wins vs Ortiz via TKO in 4th Round

Floyd Mayweather Jr remains undefeated when he won vs Victor Ortiz during Saturday night's WBC welterweight title fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada (Sunday morning, Manila time).

The "Mayweather vs Ortiz" bout was no ordinary fight (but not surprising) as 34-year-old Floyd Mayweather Jr knocked out Victor Ortiz, who's 10 years younger, during the 4th round of the fight (4th Round TKO).

It was Mayweather's grand comeback on the ring after 16 months of rest (and just watching Manny Pacquiao's fights?)

Floyd Mayweather Jr now has 42 wins (26 are knockout wins) and 0 losses while Victor Ortiz's new record is 29 wins, 3 losses and 2 draws with 22 knockouts.

Watch a Youtube video of how Floyd Mayweather Jr knocked out Victor Ortiz in 4th Round:

It was an amazing knockout but many were not impressed with how Mayweather did it, especially that he did it immediately after he and Ortiz emerged from a break, and the latter wasn't ready yet to resume the fight.

Mayweather reportedly got booed by the audience after he knocked out Ortiz.

During the post-fight interview, Mayweather also had an argument with the 80-year-old commentator Larry Merchant. Watch!

Marian Rivera binatokan si Manny Pacquiao sa Party Pilipinas, May 15 episode

Marian Rivera and Manny Pacquiao "batok" incident on Party Pilipinas last Sunday, May 15, is still being talked about as people continue to debate if it was just okay or not for Marian Rivera to do it to Manny Pacquiao.

Manny Pacquiao who won the fight against Sugar Shane Mosley last May 8 was given a homecoming party on GMA 7's Sunday musical variety show "Party Pilipinas" where he performed 6 songs (3 English and 3 Tagalog) along with Ogie Alcasid, Janno Gibbs and Lito Camo.

After his performances, Marian Rivera, Manny's co-star in "Show Me Da Manny", made a surprise appearance and there the "batok" incident happened.

Here's a screenshot of what happened:

Marian really hit Manny hard, but for close friends, I think it wasn't a big deal.

But for some viewers, they think it was kinda not proper to do it on live national TV, most especially to a Congressman and Pound-for-Pound King like Manny Pacquiao, who's well-respected and being idolized by many people around the world.

Here's a video of Manny Pacquiao's guesting on Party Pilipinas last Sunday, May 15, with Marian Rivera's "batok" incident happening on the last part:

What's your opinion on this Marian Rivera-Manny Pacquiao "batok" issue?

GenSan's True Colors is Showtime Season 3 Grand Champion / Winner

Another GenSan pride emerged as Grand Champion on ABS-CBN's talent program "Showtime".

The Showtime Season 3: All-Star Barangayan Grand Finals was held this morning, May 14, at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City and proclaimed as grand winner was the group "True Colors" from General Santos City.

The group is now the 2nd from GenSan to win on Showtime. The first was Season 1 grand winner XB GenSan.

"True Colors" got a near-perfect final score of 9.92, with all judges except one gave a perfect 10. The group won P1 million cash prize plus another million peso cash for Barangay West Dadiangas in GenSan, the barangay they're representing in the show.

Watch a video of True Colors' winning performance on Showtime:
Here's the final and official results for Showtime Season 3 Grand Finals:

1. True Colors from Barangay West Dadiangas, General Santos City 9.92 - Grand Champion
2. Vision 20 from Brgy. Sinalhan, Sta. Rosa, Laguna 9.83
3. Yuri Crew from Brgy. Bata, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental 9.75
3. The Next Level Octomix Dancers from Brgy. Libis, Baesa, Caloocan City 9.75
5. Negros Dance Collective from Brgy. Mansilingan, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental 9.67
6. Street Noise from Brgy. Poblacion, Guihulngan, Negros Oriental 9.38
7. Artist Youth of the Philippines from Brgy. Bulac, Sta. Maria, Bulacan 8.67
8. Cool Guyz from Brgy. San Miguel, Majayjay, Laguna 8.58
9. Asian Pride from Brgy. Old Zaniga, Mandaluyong City 8.46

12. Anonymous Edition from Brgy. Palangoy Binangonan, Rizal 8.00

The "Best Intro" award was given to Brgy. Poblacion, Guihulngan, Negros Oriental who cheered for Street Noise. They won a cash prize of P100,000.

"True Colors" was able to make it to Twitter's trending topics in the Philippines but the groups "Yuri Crew" and "Negros Dance Collective" who finished 3rd and 5th respectively were among the trending topics on Twitter not only in the Philippines but also worldwide.

I'm actually rooting ever since for Negros Dance Collective coz their performance was something new and of world-class caliber. What the group did was something you would love to watch over and over again.

I think including kids on the judges' line-up was a bad idea.

Judge Vice Ganda and host Kim Atienza revealed after the grand finals which group they actually loved to win and it's Negros Dance Collective.

True Color's victory as Showtime Season 3 Grand Champion just shows that GenSan is indeed the home of champions. Boxing champs Manny Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire Jr, PBB Big winner Melai Cantiveros, Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2011 Shamcey Supsup and Showtime's Season 1 Grand Champion are all from GenSan.

***

LAST GROUP GOT A SCORE OF 1 FROM JUDGE XIAN LIM
While the scores were being shown, a score of 1 was shown coming from judge Xian Lim for the group "Street Noise".

The said score pulled down the group's final average score, which when computed resulted to 9.375.

Though Street Noise won't win even if it was a score of 10, the group still didn't deserve to be given a score of 1.

Vice Ganda defended his crush Xian Lim on Twitter for the latter's controversial score. According to Vice, it was a system error.

vicegandako: "10 ang totoong score ni @XianLimm dun sa isang group. System error kaya 1 lang ang lumabas sa monitor. Wala syang kasalanan."

And since coming from Vice it was supposed to be 10, Street Noise's score should have been 9.75, tied in 3rd place with Yuri Crew and The Next Level Octomix Dancers.

If it was a system error or there was a possibility of a system error, then it's also possible that there were also errors in the scores for other groups.

Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez 3 possible in November 2011

Manny Pacquiao could possibly have Juan Manuel Marquez as his next opponent this coming November 2011.

Mexican boxer Juan Manuel Marquez has already agreed to fight again for the 3rd time with Manny Pacquiao, according to Manny's promoter Bob Arum.

Los Angeles Times reported that Pacquiao and Marquez will fight at a welterweight catch weight of 144 pounds, with Marquez guaranteed with $5million.

However, the Pacquiao vs Marquez is not 100% sure to happen as Marquez's promoter Golden Boy has the contractual opportunity to match the deal and it could put Marquez in the ring against another opponent, still according to Los Angeles Times' report.

So it will really be all up to Golden Boy for the Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 to push through.

Pacquiao and Marquez first fought inside the ring in May 2004 which resulted to a draw. It was a controversial fight as one of the judges admitted after the announcement that he made an error in the scorecards. Pacquiao could have won the fight had it been the said judge did not commit the mistake.

Then Pacquiao faced Marquez again in March 15, 2008, and the Filipino boxer won the match via split decision. It was again a controversial decision. Two judges favored Pacquiao and only one for Marquez, but most boxing analysts believed Marquez should have won the fight.

Since then, Marquez was asking for another rematch with Pacquiao but that time, the latter was firm in his decision not to fight with Marquez again.

And this 2011, the Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 is possible and it's going to be a lot more interesting that Pacquiao's recent fights.

Who do you think will win the fight?

Paris Hilton and Manny Pacquiao on video

Paris Hilton she watched the fight of Manny Pacquiao against Shane Mosley in Las Vegas and Paris made headlines not because she fulfilled her promise to watch the fight, but because she was able to get close with Manny Pacquiao and wife Jinkee Pacquiao.

Paris Hilton and Manny Pacquiao were photographed during the post-fight conference was a hit on the internet and turned out to be more interesting than the fight itself, which according to most boxing fans, was a boring match.

There's a video on Youtube of how Paris and Manny were photographed together. At first, it was the three of them, Manny, Paris and Jinkee, being photographed and later just Manny and Paris with Jinkee being left out on the side.

Jinkee actually didn't know where to position herself during the photo session as Manny was seen on video instructing his wife.

You can also catch Manny on the video looking at Paris' "you know" in two instances. Lol!

It's okay Manny! That's normal!

Here's the video just in case you haven't watched it yet.


Paris Hilton has already hinted on Twitter that she will open a "Paris
Hilton Beach Club" here in the Philippines with Manny Pacquiao reportedly as her business partner.

Dionisia Pacquiao's birthday wish: Paris Hilton attending her 62nd birthday celebration

Manny Pacquiao's mom Dionisia Pacquiao is turning 62 in 5 days and she reportedly wants American hotel heiress Paris Hilton to attend her birthday celebration.

Mommy Dionisia Pacquiao will for sure have the grandest birthday celebration this coming May 15, a week after his son Manny fought and won against Shane Mosley in Las Vegas.

And even before Manny won the said fight, Dionisia was already promised to receive a green Hermès luxury designer bag worth P1 million as Manny's birthday gift for her, as reported on abs-cbnnews.com last Friday.

But if there's one more thing that would make Mommy Dionisia happier on her birthday is if Paris Hilton would attend her birthday party in GenSan.

Reportedly, upon knowing that his son Manny is now friends with Paris Hilton, she allegedly requested Manny to invite Paris to come for her birthday celebration.

GMA News TV's "On Call" has reported yesterday that among the invited guests at Mommy Dionisia's birthday are Comedy Concert Queen Ai-Ai delas Alas and former President Joseph Estrada, who she worked with in the Star Cinema film "Ang Tanging Pamilya".

And the report also mentioned that Mommy Dionisia indeed wants to invite Paris Hilton on her birthday.

Paris has already revealed on Twitter that she's coming to the Philippines for business and will visit Manny and Jinkee Pacquiao, but she hasn't revealed yet when she is going to the Philippines.

Will Paris grant Mommy Dionisia's birthday wish?

Paris Hilton went there not to cheer for fellow American Shane Mosley but for new friend, Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao.

On Twitter, Paris was among the happiest when Manny Pacquiao won against Shane Mosley.

Paris Hilton tweeted the photo above of Manny Pacquiao after the fight while the Filipino boxer was held up high inside the ring and she described Manny as an incredible fighter.

And then she later posted that she's hanging out with her new friends Manny Pacquiao and wife Jinkee. "Hanging out with @MannyPacquiao and his beautiful Jinkee. They are such a sweet & down to earth couple! Love them! :)"

Paris Hilton then shared that she's going to visit the Philippines for
Manny and Jinkee Pacquiao. "Wow! Such an honor to be brought on stage by Manny & his wife Jinkee after the fight. Can't wait to visit them when I go to the Philippines."

Coming from Paris herself, her visit to the Philippines will be for business when she posted another tweet about her Philippine trip after she had bonding with Manny and Jinkee Pacquiao, "I'm so excited for my trip to the Philippines. I am really looking forward to my newest business endeavor."

And then she added, "So lovely spending time with Manny and his gorgeous wife Jinkee. Such a beautiful couple! #Pacquiao Rules!" with a link to a photo of them together:

Paris also tweeted the photo of her and Manny, and told her almost 4 million followers that she loves the picture and that Manny is a nice guy.

@parishilton: "Last night was #Epic! Love this picture of @MannyPacquiao and me. Such a nice guy! :)"

Can't wait to see Paris Hilton here in the Philippines!

Manny Pacquiao joins Twitter, gets 10k followers in just 3 days

I have just followed Manny Pacquiao on Twitter and I'm now among his 10,000+ plus followers there.

Manny Pacquiao posted his very first tweet on his Twitter account (@MannyPacquiao) last Sunday. He said, "Kamusta kayo 'hi everybody'".

Very Manny Pacquiao, isn't it?

And it's his only tweet so far, but amazingly, his Twitter profile is already a verified account.

As of yesterday, Manny has 4k+ followers, and as of today, 1:50 PM, he
now has 10,500 followers.

Indeed, it's rising too fast and he is already ahead of Nonito Donaire
(@filipinoflash) who has 9,042 followers but joined Twitter before Manny did and still unverified.

But Manny is still far from the verified account of Floyd Mayweather (@FloydMayweather) which has almost a million followers.

Manny for sure will overtake Mayweather on Twitter. Let's give him a month, but for now, he has to beat Anne Curtis first who has 750k followers and is the most followed celebrity from the Philippines.

Mark Salling and Manny Pacquiao together in Boracay on Christmas Day

Mark Salling has finally confirmed that he's indeed in Boracay and he's absolutely loving that beautiful island in the Philippines.

At around 6PM today, the GLEE star posted this greeting on Twitter:

"Merry Christmas from the beautiful island of Boracay."

That's 4 days after Mark was reported going to Boracay when photos of him and some Filipino flight attendants heading to Manila surfaced on the net.

But it looks like he has arrived in Boracay, just now.

Well-traveled Filipino blogger Ivan Henares could confirm this on his blog because he was on the same flight with Mark today, from Manila to Boracay. He has some photos with Mark and here's one of them:

How can he be so lucky? For sure, Ivan had one of the most unforgettable travels of his life.

So, where was Mark, from Tuesday until Friday?

Last night, while everyone's waiting for the Christmas Eve, GMA 7
reporter Joseph Morong tweeted that he saw Mark eating at a local pizza chain in Makati. "saw glee's Mark Salling, eating at a local pizza hut a wyl ago. A mom and her daughter askd 2 have their pics taken w/ him. I was too shy to ask."

He then went on to describe Mark as very tall and his guy companion as too small. "Mark Salling in Makati with a guy who could have been d guy from The Mentalist? Myt be too small. Was there around 840sh pm. Wore gray. Very tall."

"Very quiet. A mom and a daughter took a pic with him. Girl asks: Are u from Glee? Sed yes and obliged hehe,"

That goes to show Mark is very approachable and accomodating to the fans.

I have also known from a source just today that Mark checked in to the A. Venue Hotel Suites in Makati City last night.

Could it be possible that Mark arrived in Boracay on Tuesday, then flew to Manila yesterday and then back to Boracay today?

Whatever!

But what's all that matters now is the confirmation from Mark himself that he's in Boracay now and he finds it beautiful - a big boost to the island, which is among the top tourist destinations in the Philippines.

And guess who celebrated Christmas with Mark Salling in Boracay?

Mark Salling posts on Twitter: "Christmas dinner with my boy Manny Pacquiao".

Watch out in 2011: Manny Pacquio guesting on GLEE? Haha

AFF Suzuki Cup 2010: Philippine Azkals OUT, Indonesia IN for the finals

The AFF Suzuki Cup 2010 Finals is going to be between Team Malaysia and Team Indonesia (Garudas) after the latter won tonight its semi-final game, 1-0, against the Philippine Azkals.

As shown on Studio 23, the 2nd leg of the semi-final game of Garudas vs the Azkals was again held at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia before a
70,000 Indonesian crowd.

And just like last Thursday, the Indonesian President was watching again live at the venue. He's not a busy President, isn't he?

Cristian Gonzales of Indonesia once again scored that only goal in the game, which puts Indonesia in the finals of AFF Suzuki Cup 2010 happening after Christmas.

Here's a video of Gonzales' amazing goal:

The Garudas generally did a good job except for the "drama"! Their goalkeeper (Markus) fell twice, acting like he was hurt so badly by a Filipino player.

I pity the Filipino players, most especially to Phil Younghusband (who has a flu but he still played and tried his best), who received lots of boos from the Indonesian crowd.

It was also not so obvious that the referees were too biased to Team Indonesia.

Worst of all, some Indonesian fans were reportedly seen giving a middle finger to the Filipino players during their bus ride to the stadium.

Now, between Malaysia and Indonesia, I definitely like Malaysia to win AFF Suzuki Cup 2010.

The Azkals may have lost the chance to break in to the finals, but still, they've won the hearts of many Filipinos and even football fans in the world.

They're supposed to be the weakest team in the tournament, but they ended up in the semi-finals. That's pretty something!

Now moving on, let's all look forward to the 2012 AFF Suzuki Cup, which will be hosted by the Philippines.

By that time, we already have the world-class stadium and finally, we get to cheer out so load for the Philippine team.

Billionaire boxer Manny Pacquiao I think MUST donate a stadium for them, what do you think?

Hayden Kho Jr 'fascinated' by Jinkee Pacquiao Belo Billboard

Jinkee Pacquiao already has this "Don't Get Mad, Get Beautiful!" Belo Billboard installed along EDSA-Guadalupe:

And aside from Jinkee's husband, Manny Pacquiao, there's another guy who loves the new Jinkee in the said Belo billboard.

And he happens to be Vicky Belo's special friend Hayden Kho Jr. (Baka magselos nyan si Vicks!)

Hayden couldn't hide his fascination with Jinkee Pacquiao's new, sexy look. "Jinkee Pacquiao looks amazing in her Belo Billboard. Artistahin na!" he said on Twitter yesterday.

Yeah, I agree, Jinkee already looks every inch of a star, that's why she's already thinking of joining showbiz, atleast playing leading lady to Manny in a movie.

At times, Jinkee can already be mistaken as Kristine Hermosa.

She really needs to look sexier and beautiful, especially that her billionaire husband is a chic-magnet and lots of sexy girls are willing to steal him from her.

Are you ready to see Jinkee on swimsuit someday?
