Cu4tro Cantos

The Four Songs of Life

Cu4tro Cantos is the new Ala Eh Blog. Since I cannot provide pure Batangueño articles, I decided a revamp of the site, which I think is more appropriate. Cu4tro Cantos refers to the four members of the Cantos Family. In spanish, Cuatro means Four, and Cantos means Songs.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez

Then my Pacquiao vs. Marquez predictions did not come true; except to those for politicians. It is still something to be happy about because once more, Manny Pacquiao triumphed over Juan Manuel Marquez.

But the fight was not as intense as Pacquiao - Barrera or Pacquiao - Morales. It’s not worth the excitement, it’s not worth the PPV, it’s not worth anything. The scores are somehow questionable as well. 115 - 112 for Marquez, 115 - 112 for Pacquiao, 114 - 113 for Pacquiao. I don’t know anything about scoring the match but it’s not convincing for me. This is just my opinion.

Pacquiao vs. Marques: A Prediction

Dubbed as “The Unfinished Business”, the Pacqiao – Marquez bout will continue on March 16th. Once again, all Filipinos around the world will reunite for this big event. I don’t know what power Manny Pacquiao has that everytime he goes to the ring, we forget our problems until the fight ends.

But there’s a gut feel in me that Manny Pacquiao will lose this time, unless he knocks out Marquez. Somehow, I sense that there’s an “over-confident” side on Manny that may cause him to be careless. In this fight, Maquez is the underdog.

GMA 7 is once again very proud to announce that they will air the fight. But I know and I am sure that they are not after the “free fight for kapuso” but after the ROI they will get from advertisers. Once again, I am sure that commercials in between rounds will be longer than the round itself, just like the Pacquiao - Morales and Pacquiao - Barrera. F them. They should effin stop it. It doesn’t effin work. They don’t have to air it LIVE, They just have to minimize effin commercials. Air commercials after every two rounds will be just fair for the viewers. As long as it doesn’t use twice the time.

On the other side, I am certain that many politicians have booked their flights already for this event. Have they scheduled a seminar in Vegas on this date? Or there may be an Economic Conference they will attend and coincidentally, it’s Manny’s fight. Disclaimer: This is just an opinion with no basis.

Then after the fight, the next faces you’ll see on your TV screens are the faces of the Arroyos, Lito Atienze, Chavit Singson and some other politicians pretending they are Congratulating Manny but in fact, they just want to be seen by the people. It’s like “Hey, I’m close to Manny, close din tayo ha?” They are parasites using Manny for some attention. They must stop. And to the media, please stop interviewing them after the fight. They just make a suppose-to-be-the-best-show suck.

And oh, I almost forget. Just in case you’ll be looking for other politicians during the fight, maybe for a Senator or a Congressman, just hang out in Rockwell or SM cinemas. You’ll surely find them there. But don’t disturb them on that day alright? Respect their time. It’s a time for themselves and for their families. Set an appointment the other day.

Mayweather vs. Hatton video

I missed the Mayweather - Dela Hoya match months ago and I was wondering how did Mayweather defeat Dela Hoya. Oscar Dela Hoya is way advanced compare to him but when I saw his match against Ricky Hatton, I got the answer.

Last weekend I watched this much awaited match subbed as “UNDEFEATED”. Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather were both undefeated fighters and this match made Hatton not undefeated anymore. Hatton vs. Mayweather video. via Metacafe

On very disappointing (GMA and ABS-CBN) coverages of Pacquiao’s fights

Here’s a post that has been in the pipe line for a long time. We have done a lot of editing to lighten up the originally tense and pissed-off context of this post about the surprisingly lame coverage of local TV networks of ultra-hyped Pacquiao fights. Please read on.

Sunday (October 7, 2007 Philippines) The most awaited make-or-break Pacquiao-Barerra fight for the Super Featherweight title.

Manny Pacquiao is one of the best fighters in the history of boxing (that’s for sure). He’s won amazing fights and he’s a hero to many Filipinos. Yes, he deserves all his successes in his career and his personal life.
