Larios is Highly Beatable

There is concern aired by some fans of Manny Pacquiao that his next opponent, Mexican former champ Oscar Larios, is a dangerous opponent. Well let’s have a little look at history from Ringside Report.

LARIOS

The first three years of Manny Pacquiao’s career (1995-1997) he fought an amazing 23 times, with only one of those being a loss. The last time Manny won a decision was on September 13, 1997; which moved his record to 21-1, 13 KO’s. Since that time, “Pac-Man” has had 23 fights-two draws and a loss to Morales. That leaves twenty victories. All twenty of those have come by way of stoppage. If that does not sound impressive enough, or you think maybe his competition was not that good, the combined win/loss record of those twenty contestants is 590-72-14. For all of us statisticians, that is an 87% win ratio.

We don’t have to talk about Larios’ records to see if Manny Pacquiao can beat him. Manny’s records tell what will happen to Larios.  Needless to say, Manny has confirmed that he’s going to train in Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Gym.  Larios should prepare seeing stars in the morning of July 2.

For the information of many, the minimum qualification to teach in the tertiary level is a master’s degree.

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has to contend with the fact that many teachers in colleges and universities do not have master’s degrees and to solve the problem, the Commission has come up with a program to help concerned teachers.

The program called CHED HEDP Faculty Development Program extends financial assistance to deserving applicants. Among other things, the assistance covers full tuition fee assistance, transportation costs, book allowance and even a monthly stipend.

If you’re planning a tour which not only gives you the photo excitement, video ecstasy, challenging encounters but palatable munches, buzzing beaches and hassle free travelling as well, then you should not miss Dagupan City, producer of the world’s tastiest milkfish (bangus).

Dagupan City resurrected from the rubbles of the July 16, 1990 earthquake in an incredible manner. Many thought that it would take at least five years for Dagupan to recover but in a matter of two years, Dagupan City was bustling again. With renewed vigor, the place has even developed into a premiere tourist destination when its efforts to stamp its class on the world map came via its local pride–the Bonuan bangus, said to be the largest and tastiest milkfish in the world. It also registered its name in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest grill.

Inihaw na Bangus, Relyenong Bangus, Bangus Lumpia, the world famous Boneless Bangus, Kilaweng Bangus, aside from the normal Sinigang na Bangus with Shrimp, Inselar ya Bangus ed Malunggay Leaves. These are just some of the delectable menus for the pride of Dagupan City.

Come here because we have prepared not just the bangus for you, but many other things as well.
