Your postman here is not really a sexist. He just knows what words to put as far as gender issues are concerned. Here is one thread that will boost the morale of women.

“A woman can be delicate
Yet strong and vibrant too,
In fact, I know a woman
For whom this all is true.”

Actually, it’s quite long but you will see a more picturesque version if you click here.

The agony of waiting — that is what’s haunting the legendary Marco Antonio Barrera right now.

The finalized schedule of the Manny Pacquiao-Oscar Larios showdown on July 2, 2006 has virtually put the period on the attempts of Barrera’s camp to register a Pacquiao-Barrera II this year. No less than the biggest dome in RP will house the Pacquiao-Larios fight — the Araneta Coliseum, venue of the historic Ali-Frazier II blockbuster.

And after Manny’s scrimmage with Larios, his next appointment is a third and possibly final scuffle with Mexico’s Erik “El Terrible” Morales. That brawl is tentatively scheduled in September although it will likely be set in either November or December.

That means Barrera has to nurse longer his damaged pride which Pacquiao humiliated in November 2003. Since his loss to the Pacman, Barrera has rebounded dramatically even getting the champion’s belt–the belt which he used to entice Pacquiao to a rematch this year.

Barrera may have his time in 2007 to exact revenge against Pacquiao. Hopefully, Pacquiao will hurdle his two next fights successfully so as to add more hype and color to the most awaited boxing rematch this decade.

Was their ever someone who said, “Boxing is for animals”? NONE.

I’m having some sort of trouble figuring out two skeds in Manny Pacquiao’s Order of Battles.

First, his match against Oscar Larios is July 2, 2006.  That is about three months from now and training-wise, there may be no problem.  I am bothered, however, by the many appointments Manny is making these days.  I hope his extra-boxing businesses will not hamper his main craft.

Second, the third meeting with Erik Morales tentatively scheduled in September this year is barely two months after the Larios fight.  From the expert’s perspective, the interval is too short.  Even if they are going to schedule it in October, that may not even be enough for Pacman to get in tip-top shape when he faces “El Terrible”.  For sure, El Terrible will punish himself to bring some redemption into his sagging career.  He is too proud to admit that he could lose three in a row.

My prayer is not for the Larios fight to be re-scheduled since it’s a done deal.  I’m praying for a Morales rematch in either November or December.  By that time, Manny will have prepared well his menu for Morales . . . then  . . . Barrera.

Did somebody ever say, “Boxing is for animals”? NONE.
