Fellow Mindanaoan and the world’s best pound for pound boxing champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao has defeated Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto just a few minutes ago. Pacquiao won against Cotto on the 12th round via TKO. The boxing referee had to stop the fight with only 55 seconds remaining in the 12th round.
Filipino boxing champ Pacquiao, who now has 7 boxing titles, has successfully grabbed the World Boxing Organization welterweight boxing title. The Pacquiao versus Cotto fight took place Saturday night at MGM Grand Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
During the fight, Cotto was knocked down twice and his ears, nose and most of his face got bloodied.
Congratulations Manny Pacquiao! The world, especially the Philippines, is truly proud of you!

Mindanaoan gani, lahi ra gyud! 
Another Mindanaoan boxer is the current toast of the boxing world! General Santos City native Marvin “Marvelous” Sonsona recently defeated veteran Jose Lopez in a fight in Canada. Ang get this — Marvelous Marvin Sonsona is just 19 years old! Wow! Which reminds me…Perhaps Marvin should reconsider his boxer name and change it to Marvelous Mindanaoan Marvin Sonsona! Hehe
Lopez is said to be undefeated for 6 years. Unfortunately for him, a Mindanao boxer took up the challenge and…well…the world now knows who’s better 
Sonsona, who boxing experts say has powerful southpaw stance, fought in the junior bantamweight division. He defeated Jose Lopez via decision.
AYOS!
Found this video, by the way, courtesy of Queensberry Rules (check out more videos in that site too):
Hopefully, Marvelous Marvin Sonsona’s victory over Jose Lopez will further inspire our government to support local sports and athletes especially those coming from Mindanao, Philippines!
Congratulations to Team Sonsona!
Too bad for people who want to watch Mindanaoan superstar boxer Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao share the silver screen with Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger (a Filipino-American-German). Solar Films’ Wilson Tieng has confirmed that Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger has dropped out of Manny Pacquiao’s Metro Manila Film Fest entry, “Wapakman.” Sayang!
That could’ve been a great movie to watch…just imagine our fellow Mindanaoan Manny Pacquiao squaring it off with Nicole!
Also, Tieng has confirmed that Fil-Am wrestler Dave “Batista” Bautista will also not be in the movie.
I’m not too sure if this Topel Lee-helmed movie has started shooting already. In any case, I still hope that Filipinos will still watch “Wapakman” even though Batista and Nicole aren’t part of it anymore.
Here’s the trailer of “Wapakman” (pretty funny!)
