Surprise Surprise


Okay, its only a few days till Zonio leaves for Iraq once again so we are kicking it as much as possible before that happens...it's been hard to do so because it is also finals week at school, but on this Friday, after watching Star Trek (which was pretty dope) for free, it was another night of beer pong, and out of nowhere in comes the homie from Vegas: Uly. I should have known actually, the way his messages online come way more frequently right before these surprise entrances that makes. After all the screaming and everything is done with, and a few games to break him in, its his turn to take the boot...apparently this is much easier with light beer...I'm going to try and get the videos of everyone else trying it from when Zonio first came back...they are a must see.

The Battle of East and West

Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton
The build up to this fight was incredible...two fighters who come forward in an endless pursuit to destroy any foe in front of them are finally in front of each other in the quest to prove who is really the number 1 pound for pound fighter in the world. Many believed thatthe the difference in this fight would be Hatton's size advantage; after all, he has been undefeated at 140 pounds (his natural fighting weight)his whole career, and this was Pacquiao's first trip into the division. Others thought it would be Pacquiao's hand speed that would sway the fight in his direction, but no matter what anyone thinks, no one (except Pacquiao's trainer Freddy Roach) ever thought it would end as swiftlyand as devastating as it did. I myself predicted that Pacquiao would win by knockout via 7-8th round tko...however, Pacquiao shook up the boxing world and proved whyhe is considered #1 pound for pound. The fight that seems to be looming in the horizon is a historic fight against the undefeated Floyd Mayweather(who was regarded as #1 before his premature retirement), who is the one other person who defeated Ricky Hatton; clearly that would be Pacquiao's most difficult test because of Mayweathers huge size advantage and the fact that he is probably the most gifted pure boxer of our generation...however, no matter what happens Pacquiao has clearly cemented his legacy: 6 division world champion and #1 pound for pound...Manny Pacquiao
here it is...the battle of East and West, enjoy

Z man is back! (from Iraq)

It's been quite a while since i last updated this blog. Theres been a lot of things going on, a lot of issues to talk about, but the real highlight is my homie Alez Zonio coming back from Iraq. He is only here for 2 weeks but its been just like old times so far and its good to see that being in the war hasn't changed him a bit. A lot of events have been going down since hes arrived, ill be sure to update this whenever I can.
