TWEETS FROM PRO ATHLETES AFTER PACQUIAO VS MARQUEZ 3 : Im not a boxing expert. I am not a professional boxing judge. I am just your typical boxing fan

2011-11-13T18:12:00.000-08:00

Im not a boxing expert. I am not a professional boxing judge. I am just your typical boxing fan . Boxing is a very difficult sport. I love to watch boxing and I went an extra yard to take boxing lessons so that i can better understand the sport. After the Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 fight, I honestly though that it was a draw. I am glad i was not a judge or else I would have fucked it up (excuse my french). I am expecting a lot from Manny, a TKO or KO, but Manny is not God and he has flows like all of us humans,in which Marquez capitalized on. In my opinion, if Marquez worked harder in the later rounds he could have conviced the judges for a draw or a win. If Marquez was awarded the win it would have been an injustice to the champ because he had more punches throwned and landed, although Marquez did have the cleaner punches that were showned in TV. He didnt really hurt or put Pacquiao in a dangerous postion to convince the judges that he was the man of the night.

Let me repeat. I am not an expert, I am just fan who is following the champ since 2007.

anyways here are the tweets from popular athletes after the fight.

WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (25-1, 17KOs) and IBF champion Zab Judah (41-6, 28KOs) meet tonight at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas in a classic crossroads fight pitting the young champion in Khan against the cagey veteran in Judah.

Amir Khan won another 140-pound title Saturday night by stopping Zab Judah in the fifth round of their scheduled 12-round fight.

Khan threw a right hand that landed just at the belt line of Judah, who went to the canvas. Judah stayed there on his knees as referee Vic Drakulich counted him out at 2:47 of the fifth round. Khan defeated Judah by KO in the 5th round with a body shot.

Ward started out slow with Abraham, trying to find a way to penetrate his tight defense. After a competitive first few rounds, Ward seized control of the fight, using his ring savvy and instincts to control Abraham. Although Abraham was somewhat passive at times, he gave an earnest effort and frequently threw combinations that were mostly blocked by Ward. Abraham hurt Ward a couple of times in the final round, but it wasn't enough to finish Ward, who had dominated the fight and won a lopsided unanimous decision

Pacquiao-Mosley, 16,000 sold in three hours on released date

2011-02-09T14:54:00.000-08:00

The Pacquiao-Mosley boxing bout sold 16,000 tickets in the three hours when first released to the public on January 31 2011

The Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley boxing bout will take place on on May 7 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand for the WBO welterweigth title. Arum says Pacquiao chose the bout because Mosley is the most accomplished and famous boxer in the field of candidates, which included Juan Manuel Marquez and welterweight champion Andre Berto.

“He’s the most recognizable name, and it’s a difficult fight for him,” said Arum, who met with Pacquiao in the Philippines last week. “People are also saying, ‘Well, why hasn’t he fought an African-American fighter?’ He’s doing that, but mostly it’s because Mosley is the biggest name.”

The Pacquiao-Mostley boxing match is one of the biggest ticket runs in Las Vegas boxing history. On January 31 2011 when the tickets were released to the public between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. PT, 16,000 tickets were sold to the Manny Pacquiao vs. Sugar Shane Mosley world welterweight championship. Barely 1,000 seats remain for Pacquiao’s return to the Fight Capital of the World, where he hasn’t fought since 2009.

“Incredible. Simply incredible,” exclaimed Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum when he heard the news today. “I have never promoted a fight that has sold so many tickets so quickly. Manny Pacquiao never ceases to amaze the world with his achievements. The excitement he generated today with the initial ticket sales makes it feel like fight week already!”

Boxing’s No. 1 pound-for-pound box office attraction and the Fighter of the Decade, Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KOs), the lone congressional representative from the Sarangani province in the Philippines, defends his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title against three-division world champion and future Hall of Famer Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs), of Pomona, Calif. Pacquiao vs. Mosley erupts on Saturday, May 7 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nev.

Promoted by Top Rank, in association with MP Promotions, Sugar Shane Mosley Promotions and MGM Grand, remaining tickets to Pacquiao vs. Mosley, priced at $1,000, $750, and $300, can be purchased through Ticketmaster.

We all know that the real money is made in pay per view sales, not ticket sales. This is an excellent sign that the PPV numbers might be huge as well. Fans will be buying tickets and PPV to see boxing megastars Pacquiao and Mosley.

Manny Pacquiao or Sergio Martinez for Boxer of Year?

2011-01-04T07:31:00.000-08:00

Opinion by Ian Palmer

When the New Year rolls around it’s always the time most sports awards are handed out by various media publications.

When it comes to boxer of the year, it’s basically a tossup between 32-year-old Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs) of the Philippines and 35-year-old Sergio Martinez (46-2-2, 25 KOs) of Argentina.

A strong case can be made for each of them -- even though they only fought twice apiece in 2010.

Sergio Martinez
To casual boxing fans, Martinez basically appeared on the scene out of nowhere in December of 2009 when he lost a controversial 12-round majority decision to American Paul Williams (39-2, 27 KOs) in an exciting middleweight bout.

However, serious fans might have also caught several of his fights earlier in his career, including a draw with Kermit Cintron, a TKO loss against Antonio Margarito, and wins against the likes of Alex Bunema and Archak TerMeliksetian. The fight against Williams was a definite step up in class for Martinez and he handled himself exceptionally well on the televised fight.

Martinez traveled to Atlantic City on Apr. 17, 2010 to take on 28-year-old American Kelly Pavlik (36-2, 32 KOs), who was the reigning WBC and WBO Middleweight Champion. The outcome was never really in doubt after the first few rounds, and Martinez took Pavlik’s belts by a unanimous decision, with scores of 115-111, 116-111, and 115-112.

He returned to Atlantic City on Nov. 20 to take on the 29-year-old Williams again in a much-anticipated rematch and put his WBC Middleweight Title on the line, even though the bout was fought at a catch weight of 158 lbs. Most fans were hoping for a repeat of their first bout, but what they got instead was a sensational knockout when, during the second round, Martinez landed one of the best left hooks in boxing history. The fight was over in just four minutes and 10 seconds.

While the knockout itself was a thing of beauty it lacked drama because it came so early in the fight. This wasn’t Martinez’s fault, of course, but it wasn’t as spine-tingling as Sugar Ray Leonard’s 1981 KO over Tommy Hearns in their first fight or Muhammad Ali’s when he knocked out George Foreman to regain the heavyweight crown in 1974.

Martinez had an excellent year and has turned into one of the world’s most respected boxers. Not bad for a 35-year-old guy who didn’t start boxing until he was 20.

Manny Pacquiao
Pacquiao also had a great year, both in and out of the ring. He was elected to congress in his homeland and attracted 90,000 fans to his two fights at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

The first fight against Joshua Clottey (35-4, 20 KOs) of Ghana, which took place on March 13, was a letdown right from the get go. This is probably because of the choice of opponent. Everybody was hoping for a showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr. but had to settle for Clottey. While Clottey’s a good fighter, he was coming off a split decision loss to Miguel Cotto nine months earlier. Pacquiao didn’t have any problems with the African and won a decisive, unanimous decision by scores of 119-109, 119-109, and 120-108 to retain his WBO Welterweight Championship.

Pacquiao returned to Dallas on Nov. 13 to try and win an eighth world title in eight different weight divisions when he took on 32-year-old Antonio Margarito (38-7, 27 KOs) of Mexico for the vacant WBC Jr. Middleweight Championship.

Again, some people were disappointed at the choice of opponent, but negotiations with Mayweather broke down earlier in the year. Margarito entered the ring with advantages in just about all size and weight categories, but Pacquiao picked him apart over 12 entertaining rounds to win his historic eighth championship.

It was a good fight, which Pacquiao might have won by stoppage if he wanted to and the scores of 119-109, 120-108, and 118-110 were fully deserved. In his two fights Pacquiao showed his dominance by winning every round on the scorecards
of two judges, losing just one round on three judges’ cards and two rounds on the cards of the sixth judge.

Both Martinez and Pacquiao entertained fans across the world in 2010 and gave them their money’s worth. But if you could only pick one of them as fighter of the year I’d simply flip a coin and hope they can both keep it up in 2011.

WORLD BOXING COUNCIL: THE BEST OF 2010

2011-01-04T07:22:00.000-08:00

Fighter of the Year: Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez. He won the WBC Middleweight world title by defeating Kelly Pavlik and he also dramatically knocked out Paul Williams when Martinez made his first title defense. Two great fights in the year.

Fight of the Year: Jean Pascal vs. Bernard Hopkins. A bout that was held on December 18th, in Quebec (the first city founded in Canada) and was a total sell out. It was one of the greatest fights of the last years.

Knockout of the Year: Sergio Martinez vs. Paul Williams; a bout that was staged on November 20th, in Atlantic City. A knockout that will go down in history.

Exemplary World Champion of the year: Vitali Klitschko; WBC Heavyweight world champion; there is no boxer who can defeat him in addition to the facts that he is a champion who has an exemplary behavior and is a model for the young people of the world.

Most Dramatic Fight of the Year: Fernando “Cochulito” Montiel vs. Hozumi Hasegawa; a great bout held in Tokyo, Japan. Montiel landed a punch on Hasegawa that broke his jaw, and thus won the WBC Bantamweight world title.

Antonio Margarito vs Sergio Martinez years ago on February 19 2000 at Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas

2010-11-21T10:44:00.000-08:00

Antonio Margarito vs Sergio Martinez years ago. Antonio Margarito won via TKO in the 7th round. But this was years ago and doesnt matter now. I feel that Sergio Martinez can put on a good show against Manny Pacquiao. Usually if a boxer doesnt say bad things towards Pacquiao they match them up ala Cotto, Clottey and Margarito. Forget Floyd Mayweather after he saw what happened to Paul Williams last night (11-20-10), he doesnt want any from either guys.

Antonio Margarito won via TKO in the 7th round

Sergio Maravilla Martines knockout Paul Williams in the 2nd round.

2010-11-21T10:30:00.000-08:00

Sergio Martinez obliterated Paul Williams via electrifying knockout in less than two rounds last night before a crowd of over 5,000 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City at 1:10 in the second round. It was a left hook that put Williams to sleep who couldnt make the 10 counts or more ala Manny Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton.

Martinez is now 46-2, avenging his loss to Williams from a year ago. He says he’s willing to hear offers for fights and that he would be willing to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Manny Pacquiao at 156 pounds.

Being a Pacquiao fan. I would say if you have 2 clowns fighting each other no matter who won , he is still a clown. But I think Sergio Martinez is for real and he belongs in the top 3.

I think the Pacquiao - Margarito boxing bout on November 13 is gonna be an exciting fight. It is beyond of a reasonable doubt Margarito belongs in the top 10. My personal top 3 rankings are Pacquiao, Mayweather and Sergio Martinez.

Miss Universe will be held on August 23. Pacquaio authographed boxing gloves sold for $450

2010-08-15T19:30:00.000-07:00

A pair of boxing gloves signed by pound-for-pound king and “Fighter of the Decade” Manny Pacquiao fetched $450 at the 2010 Miss Universe National Gift Auction at the Palm Foyer on the 3rd Floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on Sunday, Manila Time.

ABS-CBN Las Vegas correspondent Bev Llorente reported that a pearl necklace also from the Philippines was auctioned off for $1,250. The funds raised are for the benefit of the Nevada Cancer Institute .

The Philippines candidate Maria Venus Raj personally auctioned off the prized item from her home country just like the other 82 contestants in a show hosted y KSNV Channel 3 personality Alicia Jacobs and featuring current Miss Universe Stefania Fernandez.

The Miss Philippines winner auctioned off the signed gloves along with a photo of the congressman representing the lone district of Sarangani signing the gloves as a form of authentication in an affair which, according to Llorente took some two hours.

Prior to her departure the Miss Universe candidate paid a courtesy call on Pacquiao, the national sports hero who advised Maria Venus Raj "you must be confident. Just think you are in the Philippines. There are many of our countrymen there who will support you. I will call our friends who are there to help you."

The ABS-CBN correspondent reported that several Filipinos had traveled from across the United States to attend the affair and to show their support for Miss. Philippines with tickets costing $100. She also said that Raj received a lot of attention from the international media “not because of the items she auctioned off but because of her standout appeal.”

Tim Tebow first round draft pick by the Denver Broncos

2010-08-04T02:15:00.000-07:00

Getting down to brass tacks of Tebow deal

The contract details on Broncos rookie quarterback Tim Tebow show that his five-year deal is worth $9,713,500, not the $11.25 million the industry reports, according to a union source.

The difference is a one-time playing time bonus of $1,537,500 that the players association counts because it's "easy to earn." Almost all first-rounders hit the one-time playing bonus, but Jarvis Moss and Brady Quinn from the 2007 draft are among those who have yet to hit their one-timers. Tebow will be well on his way to his first NFL million on Friday, when the Broncos pay him a $975,000 advance, which essentially will be counted as a signing bonus for prorated salary cap reasons. Some details on the Tebow deal:
Base salary

2010: $1,295,000 (fully guaranteed)

2011: $1,618,750 (fully guaranteed)

2012: $1,942,500 (fully guaranteed)

2013: $2,266,750 (fully guaranteed)

2014: $2,590,500 ($567,500 guaranteed)
First payday Friday

Advance-signing bonus:

$975,000 on Friday (salary reduced to $325,000)

$6.275 million due 29 days after start of 2011 league year. Typically season starts March 1, but it's written this way in case work stoppage delays start of season. (Salaries from 2011-14 reduced to offset advance.)
Put me in, coach

One-time playing time bonus: (contractually considered likely to be earned)

Tebow collects $1,537,500 if he plays 35 percent of the offensive snaps in 2010, or 45 percent of the snaps in any of the seasons 2011-14.

The bonus rolls over from year to year until Tebow reaches the playing-time threshold, and expires the first time he hits it.
High thresholds

Mid-tier incentives: (contractually considered unlikely to earn)

Value of Tebow's contract doubles from $11.25 million (including one-time playing time bonus) to $22.5 million if he reaches multiple thresholds, including:

55 percent playing

Which quarterback do you wish to see take the majority of snaps as the starter this year for the Denver Broncos?
Kyle Orton: The incumbent will flourish in his second season under coach Josh McDaniels.
Brady Quinn: Given a second chance in a new system, his vast potential will be realized.
Tim Tebow: Why wait? He has proven himself a winner at the highest levels of college ball.
time in two of his first three seasons, 2010-12, or 70 percent playing time in 2013.

The Broncos make the playoffs, he reaches certain QB ranking thresholds, and receives unspecified honors.
Playoffs, honors equal bigger check

Max value: (contractually considered unlikely to earn)

The total value of Tebow's contract can escalate to $33 million if the Broncos reach the playoffs multiple times in his first four years, he has multiple top-five QB rankings, and he has multiple league honors such as NFL MVP and Super Bowl MVP.

TRANSCRIPT of efforts to secure a Pacquiao vs Mayweather had failed. Floyd funked out.

2010-07-17T11:05:00.000-07:00

BOB ARUM ON THE TOP RANK DECISION
By G. Leon

Dan Rafael ESPN: My question for you is, uh at what point you while you were negotiating with uh, with the uh, reps for Cotto and for Margarito umm, how deep into it would you be willing to change if Floyd presented himself uh, do you need to uh, have a signed contract with these guys or could you be up to the last minute and tell these guys, hey by the way in case Floyd decides to come out of hiding and take this offer, we're going to cut you off right here. How are you going to handle that?

Bob Arum: "The answer is that we wouldn't need a signed contract if Manny committed and I committed to Cotto or Margarito, that would be a deal. The signed contract would be later, but while these negotiations are going on while I'm talking to Manny, if Floyd came to the table, that's the fight that we want more than all othes, no question about it."

Dan Rafael ESPN: During this entire period did you have any direct conversations with any representatives of Mayweather or did you go strictly through Ross Greenburg?

BA: "Strictly through Ross Greenburg."

Dan Rafael ESPN: Did you find that to be unusual?

BA: "Well, you know Ross was committed to make the fight happen. As the head of HBO Sports I felt the best chance to make it happen was to do everything through Ross, almost like he was the mediator. I still think it was the right way to go. Obviously it didn't work out, not because Ross didn't go a good job, because I think he did in talking to myself an Al Haymon. Obviously the problem was, Floyd for whatever reason and I'm sure he's got some valid reason, did not want to committ."

Kevin Iole YAHOO SPORTS: Specifically, why was the deadline today, as opposed to next week or a little bit later after Roger's trial?

BA: "Good question. You understand what the deadline is? The deadline is the end of the exclusivity period. We now have to go out and secure an opponent for Manny Pacquiao, assuming that it won't be Floyd. We then have to mount a campaign, we have to get in touch with the television networks, the indemand, Direct TV and dish and get everything in order. Time is going by and we have to start scheduling press conferences. With Manny Pacquiao, I'm not dealing with a normal type of fighter where you can schedule press conferences willy-nilly. He's over in the Philippines and he has his duties which he takes seriouosly as a congressman in the Philippines, therefore we're limited as to when we can schedule a press conferences in the United States."

Kevin Iole YAHOO SPORTS: Did you or Todd reach out to anybody on the Mayweather side and say, 'hey is there anything going on?

BA: "We have never talked to anybody on the Mayweather side. All conversations on our part were through Ross and he reported all conversations from the Mayweather side through Al Haymon."

Kevin Iole YAHOO SPORTS: You said on June 30 that you thought there were no more issues remaining and it was pretty much done. Is that still your position now and it's just that Floyd's decided he doesn't want to fight this year?

BA: "Yes. That's based on my conversations with Ross Greenburg. Understand, I've never talked to anybody on the Mayweather side. I've only talked to Ross Greenburg, who represented to me certain things that he had discussed with Al Haymon on behalf of Mayweather."

Kevin Iole YAHOO SPORTS: Lastly, I know you mentioned Cotto or Margarito. Most speculation has been Margarito. If it happens to be Margarito, given the circumstances of his 2009 fight and given that he hasn't won a big fight subsequently, why does he deserve a chance for Manny Pacquiao?

BA: "I'm not going to take that up now. That's something that you can editorialize if and when a fight with Margarito is made."

Kevin Iole YAHOO SPORTS: If the Mayweather fight doesn't made do you think it will have a negative impact on the sport?

BA: "I am sure, I am sure without knowing that there is a very, very good reason that Floyd Mayweather has for not committing to a fight at this time? Now I'm speculating, one of the reasons could be the uncertainty surrounding Roger Mayweather. For people who don't know Roger Mayweather is scheduled before a court in Nevada regarding criminal charges. I know how Manny would feel if he had to go into a fight like this without the services of Freddie Roach and presumably, Floyd would feel the same way going into a fight like this without the services of his uncle Roger who has been training him for a number of years."

Greg Leon BOXINGTALK: With um nearly four months out between now and November, why the rush? The first time around the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight seemed to be in discussion all the way up until the first week of January. The fight with Clottey was scheduled on two months notice. Why the sudden need to implement a deadline and have this call because the exclusivity period is over four months out? Isn't there another week or two of leeway that could have been given since this fight is so big?

BA: "No, not really because now I'm dealing with a very unsual situation. I'm representing a fighter who is also a congressman and he has legislative duties and he has committments in the Philippines and I have really short windows to handle various aspects of the promotion."

Greg Leon BOXINGTALK: Right, but if he's going to fight on November 13 the date of the press conference wouldn't change, would it?

BA: "Yes it will. I'm going to have to do press conferences a lot further out than might ordinarily be the case. Indeed when he'll be training for the fight, he'll be training as a congressman and he'll have to fit his training into legislative sessions. I understand that the congress sits three days a week."

Greg Leon BOXINGTALK: How quickly do you anticipate you'll be able to verbally close a deal with either Margarito or Cotto?

BA: "I have no idea, but I would assume a week or so. I would have to get Manny's views. I would have to discuss with Manny who he preferes etc, and then get everything put together."

Greg Leon BOXINGTALK: All three athletes are under your banner, so Top Rank would have promotional control. Is the ultimate decision as it relates to who the opponent will be, does it fall on Manny or is it a Top Rank executive decision?

BA: "It falls on Manny."

Greg Leon BOXINGTALK: If you had your preference who would it be?

BA: "I'm not going to say because I don't want to have prejudice on the situation, I want Manny to decide. He's a very intelligent guy, he's going to know what the considerations are, and whoever he selects is who we're going to go after and make the fight."

Greg Leon BOXINGTALK: You're a very intelligent guy too. Although you suggested to Kevin that he can editorialize it how he chooses earlier; in your opinion, do you think that Margarito deserves such a fight?

BA: "It's the same answer I gave to Kevin. Do we have another questioner?"

Steve Kim MAXBOXING: When you talk to the representatives of Margarito or Cotto can you tell us what the timeframe you would tell either side they have to make a deal?

BA: "Yeah, it would be the next 10 days."

Greg Logan NEWSDAY: You said that you did everyrthing through Greenburg and you thought you had a deal. How close do you feel you were? Did the other side relay any hint of why Mayweather wasn't ready to committ?

BA: "It's a very good question, the answer is no. They kept assuring Greenburg, based on what Greenburg told me, Haymon told him that he was working on it, to expect an answer shortly. Of course, it just never materialized. I don't blame Haymon, I think he really tried, at least what I get from Greenburg, Haymon really tried to get the fight together."

Greg Logan NEWSDAY: You mentioned Richard Shaeffer before, kind of obliquely. What involvement, if any, did he have, did you get any indication the he was also on board?

BA: "Again, Shaeffer's name was never really mentioned by Ross. Al Haymon, the only feeling I had that Golden Boy might be involved, or that Haymon might be talking to Floyd, was when Oscar said on the radio that the deal was very close to being closed. So I assumed, at that point, that Haymon had talked to Shaeffer, and that Shaeffer had talked to Oscar."

Greg Logan NEWSDAY: As far as the specifics that Manny agreed to, regarding blod testing for drugs, we've seen it reproted that there was a two week window, a cut off period. Did Haymon, through Greenburg, agree to that?

BA: "I'm not going to go into specifics, but I think that issue was resolved, Not as clear cut as you're saying it, but I believe it was resoved. I don't want to go into the details."

Greg Logan NEWSDAY: But you were satisfied that Haymon, their side, could accept whatever conditions you...

BA: "That's what it seemed to me, based on what I was hearing from Ross. Remember, like I said, on any impression to be out there, that I ever thought that Haymon or that Shaeffer, or anybody else, I didn't."

Greg Logan NEWSDAY: If you do have to move on to Margarito or Cotto, what would the attraction be for a Cotto rematch?

BA: "The Cotto rematch would be that Manny's going for a title, fighting at a higher weight, and that Miguel would have Emanuel Stewart in his corner, one of the great cornermen of our time. That certainly would give Cotto more ammuntion going into the fight than he had last time.

Greg Logan NEWSDAY: Granted. If it's Margarito, as far as the California Comission putting off any further hearing on him, where do you go for him?

BA: "Well, number one, we ask for the Nevada Comission, based on California putting it off, to give him a conditional lisence to fight in Nevada on the 13th of November. Hopefully, from Margarito's standpoint, they will agree to that. If not, then if Manny decides that he wants Margarito, we would do the fight in Monterey, Mexico. Manny would do the fight outside of the United States."

The rest of the blah, blah, blah was irrelevant for the most part

Deadline for Floyd Mayweather to sign a contract to fight Manny Pacquiao is Friday July 16 2010 at 11.59 pm

2010-07-16T00:06:00.000-07:00

Floydies unwillingness to talk with Top Rank and let the clock expired indicate that he is not willing to fight Manny.

Top Rank had given up to the demands of Floydie in regards to the drug testing issue.
Floydie and family accused Manny of using PED s and wanted a special drug test.
Top Rank agreed to the 14 days time period.

Moneywise, each boxers will get to the tune of $50million each and Floydie balked.

Therefore, we get a conclusion that Floydies is avoidancing Manny at any cost. This fight needs to happen the latest is 2011. If latter than that, the bout would not be as good as the earliest since both fighters will be a little older.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs John Duddy fight is on July 26, 2010 (Live boxing fight match Stream Online )

2010-06-26T13:12:00.000-07:00

Tonight's Top Rank pay-per-view main event between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and John Duddy is one of those fights that you absolutely have to be a boxing fanatic to care much about at all, or, if not a boxing fanatic, a diehard Mexican boxing fan, or a diehard Irish or Irish-American boxing fan

Four-time winner of the “Trainer of the Year” award Freddie Roach predicts that if the “Son of the Legend” Julio Cesar Chavez Jr follows his instructions by working effectively behind his jab then he could knock Irishman John Duddy out in ten or eleven rounds.

Chavez has been training under Roach at his Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles and has impressed both Roach and conditioning expert Alex Ariza with his dedication and hard work and his ability to take in all that Roach has taught him.

Chavez's father is, you can say, the most famous and most revered Mexican fighter of all-time. Chavez (40-0-1, 30 KO) undefeated record will be tested against Duddy (29-1, 18 KO)

Manny Pacquiao: Will fight as boxer and congressman

2010-05-16T15:41:00.000-07:00

World boxing champion Manny Pacquiao believes he can continue his phenomenal career in the ring while fulfilling his dream of helping his poor countrymen as a politician.

“It just needs discipline. You just need time management,” he said.

Still on a high after winning a congressional
seat representing impoverished Sarangani province, Pacquiao, 31, said he would continue fighting—both as an athlete and legislator for the people.

“There are many problems in my province, many people who need help and, one by one, we will decide what to do to help them,” said Pacquiao at a grand celebration in his hometown Saturday night.

“I am happy that I won and that people voted for me but it is also a great responsibility and so I must help my countrymen,” said Pacquiao, known as Pacman, who grew up dirt-poor until boxing brought him world fame and riches.

Amir Khan vs Paulie Malignaggi Video Replay Highlights, Results 15 May 2010

2010-05-16T15:36:00.000-07:00

Light-Welterweight Title Contest commences on 15th May Saturday, 2010 in WAMU Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York between WBA Super Lightweight World Champion Amir Khan against native hero Paul Malignaggi. This will be the debut for the champion in America.

Both the fighter will be looking forward to a huge display at 140 lbs with a victory. Though, it was not certain that Khan will face Malignaggi in his American Debut. There were other in the race like Juan Manuel Marquez and Marcos Maidana against Khan and finally Malignaggi was up the race. Khan has the perfect talent and the speed, by which he can trouble any opponent. Against Malignaggi, Khan can definitely match his speed and can outdo him in power.

Malignaggi on the other hand is a tough fighter here. He is skillful and smart as well but not a guy with power punch, but his confidence and dexterity viaduct the gap. It has been noticed that sometime in bigger matches, he comes loose against his opponents. Malignaggi has been with his new trainer Sharif Youman and it appears that he has evoked his potential

Martinez vs pavlik result: Martinez beats Pavlik to claim middleweight title.

2010-04-17T21:29:00.000-07:00

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.—Nobody could deny Sergio Martinez the victory this time.

The junior middleweight champion dominated the final five rounds Saturday night, winning a bloody and impressive unanimous decision over Kelly Pavlik to claim the WBO and WBC middleweight belts at Boardwalk Hall.

Martinez (45-2-2) moved up to 160 pounds to challenge Pavlik, who had never been defeated at his natural weight. The 35-year-old from Argentina put on marvelous display of speed and footwork, though, rallying from a questionable knockdown in the seventh round to batter and frustrate the pride of Youngstown, Ohio.

When the final bell sounded, Martinez immediately ran for the corner and leaped onto the ropes in victory, his promoter Lou DiBella storming into the ring. Pavlik solemnly raised his own arm, his face awash in blood—just as it been at the end of every round after the eighth.

Judge Roberto Ramirez scored the fight 116-111, Barbara Perez scored it 115-111 and Craig Metcalfe had it 115-112. The Associated Press also scored it 115-112.

Pacquiao Ahead on Poll Surveys, Election Win Predicted

2010-04-17T21:28:00.000-07:00

According to Manny Pacquiao's lovely wife Jinkee, her husband is ahead on poll surveys as the election day draws near. The Filipino boxing champ is running for the second time as a lone district congressman for his province of Sarangani, Philippines.
Barely three weeks before election day, poll surveys reveal Manny Pacquiao is ahead of his political rival for the lone congressional seat in Sarangani province in southern Philippines.
Pacquiao's good showing in poll survey results could be traced to the active participation of his wife Jinkee in the campaign. Jinkee, whose family and relatives are from Sarangani has been actively campaigning in remote areas of the province to help the Filipino boxer in his election bid.
“We are actually ahead in the surveys but now we really have to maximize our efforts and time,” Jinkee reveals
Pacquiao is running for a congressional post for the second time. He lost the race in his first attempt against a lady congresswoman from General Santos City.
Jinkee says she is confident her husband can make a difference—especially in the life of poor residents.
“We talked about it and I believe in his good intentions to serve the people of Sarangani,” she says. “Manny and I can’t let our supporters down. The people need help.”
During the campaign, Manny Pacquiao told his constituents when asked how he will make a difference as a politician:

“I’ll show you how to make a big difference. I want you all to idolize me not just in the ring but above all, in public service,” Pacquiao tells the crowd in Glan town on Thursday.
The boxing superstar has delivered issue-based speeches on the campaign trail. He shuns personal attacks practiced by traditional politicians.

Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum earlier announced he will fly to the Philippines onto Sarangani to show his support to the Filipino boxer's fight outside the boxing ring. Arum is very popular in the Philippines for having helped budding Filipino boxers in their quest for excellence in the sports of boxing.
The topnotch boxing promoter is much more popular In General Santos City and Sarangani where Pacquiao and his family maintain residence.

Bob Arum says the Pacquiao vs Clottey boxing match on May 13 2010 will be a sell out

2010-02-27T11:01:00.000-08:00

Bob Arum says less than 8,000 tickets are left in the welterweight @ 147 pounds on May 13 2010 at the huge Dallas Cowboys Stadium. This will be definately be sold out in the week of the fight. This will be a great fight because Clottey will come to trade punches with Pacquaio like he did when he fought Cotto. In the Cotto/Clottey match ,in my opinion he beat Cotto that night but being a challenger the judges votes weighted heavily towards the champ Cotto.

Bob Arum did a great job in matching Pacqauio versus Clotley. I think the Clottey fight is much better than a Mayweather match. A more exiting bout would have been a Shane Mostley / Manny Pacquio boxing match.

Shane will be fighting Mayweather a month after the May 13 2010 Pacquaio vs Clottey match. I dont care about this Mostley/Mayweather but, being a Mostley fan im rooting for Shane to knock out Mayweather. If Mayweather wins via judges decision and make this a boring fight. The sport of boxing will suffer and make the UFC more appealing to the sports fan.

Tips for using laptops. Laptop sales are going up. Improper posture can hurt neck ,back and wrist. Proper laptop set up.

Laptop Ergonomics

Laptop computers were once used mainly as secondary computers; for travelers who couldn’t get to the office or students to take to the library. Not so anymore. More and more laptops are becoming the primary working computer and most of the time laptops are designed with portability, not good ergonomics in mind.

Computer users who use a laptop on a frequent basis must usually compromise either wrist posture or neck posture. Normally, with a desktop computer, the top of the monitor is positioned around eye level, and the keyboard is placed at about the same level as the elbows. With laptops however, the keyboard and the monitor are attached, so the positions cannot be adjusted independently. The result is that comfort must be compromised. Placing the laptop at a low enough level for a comfortable arm position means that the neck is tilted forward to view the screen; raising the screen to an acceptable level means that the hands are too high. Looking down at the monitor or bending forward for long periods of time can cause neck and shoulder pain.

Person using a laptop

A chair that is too low or a table that is too high can cause poor wrist posture or contact stress between the wrist and the surface edge. This can lead to hand and wrist problems. Laptop users also tend to use their laptops wherever they are—in bed, on the dining room table, on the floor—locations that generally don’t promote good working postures, especially for the neck and back.

A few simple improvements can greatly improve comfort and reduce the chance of injury while working at a laptop computer.

* When using a laptop as your primary computer use an external keyboard, mouse and ideally, an external monitor. This way you can attain an ideal working posture. At the very least, use an external keyboard and mouse and follow the next point for raising the laptop.
* Raise the laptop up off the work surface so that the top of the viewing screen is at approximately eye level. There are many different types of laptop risers available; if possible the riser should be height adjustable to ensure a correct height and accommodate different users. If no riser is available, the laptop can be placed on top of books or a box (just make sure the fan can adequately cool the laptop).
* Take frequent breaks and change postures frequently. Mini-breaks—as short as 10 seconds—are recommended throughout the day. Research has found that short, frequent breaks are actually more beneficial than longer, more infrequent beaks.
* Use a document holder to get documents off of the desk surface.
* Sit in an adjustable chair with good back support. Ensure that your workstation is adjusted so that your wrists and hands are in line with your forearms and not resting on the edge of your laptop.
* When transporting your laptop, use a rolling laptop bag versus carrying it over long distances or a backpack with well padded straps to distribute the weight evenly across your shoulders.

Manny Pacquiao and Tim Lincecum: The 2 highest paid athletes right now.

2010-02-16T13:31:00.001-08:00

Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants agreed deal is worth $23 million over two years. When the two sides exchanged figures last month, Lincecum asked for $13 million while the Giants offered $8 million.

NBCSports.com is reporting that the first year is for $9.5-10 million, which would make the second year worth closer to the $13 million Lincecum wanted for the upcoming season (SI.com is now reporting that the deal is for $8 million in 2010, $13 million in 2011, and with a $1 million signing bonus for each year).

While that means Lincecum is pulling in an unprecedented salary for a player with less than three full years of experience in the majors, it looks like the Giants have come pretty close to hitting their price points for a player tha has won back-to-back Cy Young Awards in his two full big-league seasons.

It's hard to put a price on that kind of production from such a young player. And while Lincecum might not be getting quite the money he wants, if he keeps pitching at an elite level for these two seasons, then we get to do this all over again in 2012.

A lot of people thinks he can get more money and just make a deal for one year instead of 2 years. There are alson athletes who shine in their first 2 years and then later on fade but I doubt this will be Tim bacause his arms are perfect. I have a feeling that Tim will eventually end up with the Yankees you have deep pockets because Tim will end up asking for more in the future because his performance will get better and better which can command more money.

Tim Lincecum. What is his ethnicity? He is white but also Filipino.

2010-02-16T13:27:00.001-08:00

Theres no doubt he is white. The correct answer is Tim Lincecum is white and Filipino. Im rooting for him cause he loves his Filipino side. I might become a San Francisco Giant fan but eventually he will become a New York Yankee in the future when the time comes that he demands more mullah. I guess, Ill just wait it out.

Tim is 5'11" and 172-pounds. He is 25 years old. Tim Lincecum is a starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants and he has been absolutely dominant since he first made his debut in May of 2007. He is the first pitcher in Major League Baseball history to win the prestigious Cy Young Award in each of his first two full seasons. He is also the only pitcher to strike out more than 260 hitters in each of those two seasons, and his competition isn't even close.

And Becky Asis, his mother.

A second-generation Filipino-American, Becky is one of Balleriano and Philomena Asis' 10 children—eight girls, and two boys.

Their father Balleriano was born in Honolulu, HI and his father, Genaro Asis was born in Mindanao, Philippines; his mother, Alberta Alcoy was born in Cebu City, Philippines.

Their mother Philomena was born in Stockton, CA and her father, Leoncio Marcigan was born in Batangas, Philippines; her mother, Anustasia Dominguez was born in Siquijor, Philippines.

Outside of baseball, Lincecum is a homebody and a family man. He has two nephews who "love to play ball with their Uncle Tim," and dozens of cousins. He also was extremely close to Balleriano who passed away in August of 2007, and it showed on the field.

Just days after his passing, Lincecum had to pitch against the Chicago Cubs. Through the first eight innings of the game he was his usual dominant self, but in the ninth inning everything came crashing down.

Tim Lincecum in action. The 2008 & 2009 NL Cy Young Award winner.

2010-02-16T13:22:00.001-08:00

To me baseball is life. When i was growing up, I played baseball, softball and stickball. I was a crazy kid growing up so they give me a cathing position which i get bruises when on the chest, legs, arms and etc because sometimes you can just cant predect and catch the ball. To lazy to go to the park, we play on the streets. I have broken a few glass windows with a baseball in the neighborhood and i have gotten in trouble with somebodys mother because i told this kid her mom was a whore and she told her mother. So her mom summoned me and i had to make some excuse to get off the case.

Growing up, I love the New York Mets and the Yankees. I idolize Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, Don Mattingly and etc. There were a lot of Latino baseball superstar and maybe one filipino baseball superball which is as rare as a fish in a contaminated river but nothing as great as the San Francisco Giants Tim Lincecum. He is the 2008 & 2009 NL Cy Young Tim Lincecum. Thats back to back awards yo know how difficult that is yo all. Now I have a reason to enjoy baseball more. Although he is not purebloodied Filipino. Ill like the guy and draft him in my minds team. Also in his family tree he had somebody from my hometown of Cebu. So Tim Lincecum is my new favorate baseball player. I cant til spring comes in 2010.

His April 2009 bout versus Antonio Pitalua is now 300,000 hits and growing.Valero has his second defense in February 6 2010 against Antonio Demarco the current Interim champ will come to life.

This is a recent video.

Backround:
Edwin Valero (born December 3, 1981 in Bolero Alto, and raised in El Vigía,Venezuela) is an undefeated southpaw boxer who fought in the super featherweight (130 lb) division until he moved up to lightweight. His professional boxing record is 26-0 (26 KOs, 19 of which occurred in the first round). Valero is a former WBA Super Featherweight champion and current WBC Lightweight champion who is primarily known by hardcore boxing fans for his exciting style and devastating punching power.

On February 25, 2006, Valero set a new world record by winning his first 18 fights as a professional by first-round knockout (that record has since been broken by Tyrone Brunson). The previous record for consecutive first-round knockouts was 15 by Young Otto (record), who accomplished the feat in 1905. In Valero's nineteenth fight (March 25, 2006), Genaro Trazancos ended the first-round knockout streak by surviving until the second round.

Because of his awesome punching power and perfect knockout ratio, he became the darling of hard core boxing fans. His biggest backers in the sport includes Doug Fischer of maxboxing.com (who regularly covers Valero in his articles for the website which also aired videos of his workouts and sparring sessions) and Boxing Inside with Peter Palmiere (Boxing Inside airs on SPTV Channel 33 every Thursday night at 7pm.) The Los Angeles local cable show also aired Valero's workouts, sparring sessions and interviews conducted by journalist Palmiere.

Good foods for gout . whats should i eat i have gout?

2010-01-26T04:14:00.000-08:00

Cherries have a natural anti-inflammation power.
Drink a Glass of cherry juice or 20 pieces of cherries
or 1 tablespoon of cherry concentrate.

What Should You Eat?

Dietary restrictions suggest what people should not eat, but what should people eat? What foods will help control gout attacks? The American Medical Association recommends the following dietary guidelines for people with gout, advising them to eat a diet:

* high in complex carbohydrates (fiber-rich whole grains, fruits, and vegetables)

* low in protein (15% of calories and sources should be soy, lean meats, or poultry)

* no more than 30% of calories in fat (with only 10% animal fats)

Recommended Foods To Eat

* Fresh cherries, strawberries, blueberries, and other red-blue berries
* Bananas
* Celery
* Tomatoes
* Vegetables including kale, cabbage, parsley, green-leafy vegetables
* Foods high in bromelain (pineapple)
* Foods high in vitamin C (red cabbage, red bell peppers, tangerines, mandarins, oranges, potatoes)
* Drink fruit juices and purified water (8 glasses of water per day)
* Low-fat dairy products
* Complex carbohydrates (breads, cereals, pasta, rice, as well as aforementioned vegetables and fruits)
* Chocolate, cocoa
* Coffee, tea
* Carbonated beverages
* Essential fatty acids (tuna and salmon, flaxseed, nuts, seeds)
* Tofu, although a legume and made from soybeans, may be a better choice than meat

Foods considered moderately high in purines but which may not raise the risk of gout include: asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms, peas, spinach, whole grain breads and cereals, chicken, duck, ham, turkey, kidney and lima beans. It is important to remember that purines are found in all protein foods. All sources of purines should not be eliminated.

Foods and Other Things to Avoid

• Meat: organ meats, offal, meat extracts, veal, bacon, sweetbreads, meat gravies and broths, consommé/bullion
• Poultry: turkey, goose
• Seafood: salmon, mackerel, trout, cod, herring, sardines, anchovies, mussels, crab, shrimp
• Vegetables: peas, beans, lentils, asparagus, mushrooms, cooked spinach, rhubarb, cauliflower
• Yeast products: baked goods, beer
• Alcohol - it increases the production of uric acid and inhibits its excretion by the kidneys
• Coffee - it accelerates the breakdown of protein into uric acid
• All fried foods - they cause a depletion of vitamin E, which can cause uric acid to rise
• Cream and ice cream
• Rich desserts
• Spices
• Pastries
• Simple sugars, simple carbohydrates and saturated fats - they increase your body's production of uric acid and impair your kidneys' ability to get rid of it. Eliminate fructose (found in food and drinks, like sodas)
• White flour
• Aspirin can raise uric acid levels. If you need to use pain killers, only use ones with ibuprofen.
• Oatmeal
• Whole grains
• Caffeine - it impairs kidney function, which is needed to get uric acid out of the body.

Prevention

• One of the best ways to prevent gout is to drink at least 6-8 eight ounce glasses of water, fresh juices or herb tea daily, especially at the first signs of gout. This will keep your urine diluted and will help your body excrete uric acid and prevent crystals from forming.
* Eat foods high in potassium, as mentioned above.
• Eating generous amounts of other fruits and vegetables helps keep uric acid crystals in solution.
• Take the flavonoid quercetin - see below under Folk Remedies. This should be part of your permanent gout-prevention diet.
• Lemon juice prevents gout attacks by stimulating the formation of calcium carbonate in the body. Calcium carbonate neutralizes acids in the body, including uric acid that triggers gout attacks. After each meal drink the juice of one freshly squeezed lemon in a glass of lukewarm water. To get more juice out of the lemon, bring it to room temperature, then roll it around on the counter with the palm of your hand.
• Taking 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda with meals will prevent gout attacks. This will help alkalize the body.
• Keep the leg elevated.
• A high fiber diet also aids in the elimination of uric acid by absorbing bile acids formed in the liver. These bile acids can act as a precursor to uric acid.

Supplements

Low-purine diets are low in vitamins B, E and other antioxidants, so supplementation will be necessary to prevent damage from free radicals that can intensify gouty problems.

B complex One to three 50 mg tablets of the complete B complex daily, plus 500 mg of pantothenic acid (B5) in divided doses to assist the body's conversion of uric acid into harmless compounds.

Bromelain 500 mg twice daily as an anti-inflammatory.

Fish oil Take 2 grams of fish oil capsules 2x a day to reduce the chances of gouty inflammation.

L-glutamine 500 mg four times daily on an empty stomach - is an antacid.

L-glutathione 500 mg twice daily on an empty stomach - increases renal cleansing of uric acid.

L-glycine 500 mg four times daily between meals - acts as an antacid.

L-methionine 250 mg twice daily on an empty stomach - detoxifies purines.

Magnesium citrate 400 mg three times a day - an antispasmodic to relieve pain.

Shark cartilage used on a daily basis of 3-6 capsules/day can make the pain disappear and allow you to eat previously forbidden foods within one week without experiencing pain in the affected joint. After approximately one month of continuous use, you may stop taking the cartilage until the pain reoccurs. At this point you will probably only need to take the cartilage (3-6 capsules) for a week or two. You may continue this on/off cycle as needed. Your uric acid level may return to normal, but even if it doesn't, the pain will go away.

Tissue salts To prevent the formation of uric acid crystals, take two tablets of 6X Silicea three times a day. During a gout attack, increase the dosage to three tablets and add an equal amount of Nat. Phos. and Nat. Sulph.

Vitamin C 1,000 mg per hour at the very outset of a gout attack, then reduce to 500-3,000 mg daily for maintenance. Vitamin C helps lower serum uric acid levels.

Vitamin E Low-purine diets are low in vitamin E and fried foods deplete it, so supplementation will be necessary as a deficiency can contribute to the formation of excess uric acid. Begin with 100 IU of natural vitamin E, and slowly increase to 6-800 IU daily.

Acupressure

• Press just below the center of the nose toward the upper lip.

• Press and massage between the ball of the foot and the bottom of the big toe on each foot; then on the left foot only, stimulate a point halfway between the base of the little toe and the heel pad.

• Press inward and upward on the underside of the protuberance at the base of the skull.

• On both hands, press and massage a point on the inside of the pad at the base of the thumb directly beneath the index finger; then on the left palm only, stimulate a point halfway between the base of the little finger and the wrist.

Remedies
Folk

Alfalfa is a good source of minerals and other nutrients that help reduce serum uric acid.

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) Add some rose hips to vinegar and boil; dab on affected area. You may need to apply this mixture several times a day for a few weeks. The vinegar changes the blood pH so that the crystals will go into solution and be excreted.

• Mix two teaspoons each of apple cider vinegar and raw honey in a glass of water and drink at mealtime.

• Soak the foot in a mixture of 1/2 cup of ACV and three cups of hot water.

Bilberry is high in anthocyanosides and flavonoids, which are helpful in overcoming gout.

Black cherry juice Get some natural, concentrated black cherry juice and drink several tablespoons of the concentrate daily. You should expect relief in 48 hours.

Black cohash moderates blood acidity.

Blueberries are high in anti-inflammatory compounds called anthocyanins, which help ease the pain of gout.

Buchu tea helps dissolve and flush out uric acid crystals.

Castor oil packs Soak a piece of white flannel in warm castor oil, wring it out and place over the affected area; cover with plastic wrap and apply a heating pad. Do this for one hour twice daily.

Cayenne pepper Boil one tablespoon of pepper in 1 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water and dab onto the painful joint.

• Mix cayenne with enough wintergreen oil to make a paste and apply to the affected area.

Celery seeds These seeds are quite effective in relieving gout by eliminating uric acid from the body. According to James Duke, Ph.D., a medical botanist formerly with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, celery seeds contain about twenty different anti-inflammatory agents. Although there is little scientific research on celery seeds, according to Kerry Bone, a leading expert on herbal remedies in Australia, "it (sic) works brilliantly in patients." Recommended dosage is 500 mg (standardized to 450 mg of celery seed extract) 2x daily. Note: This remedy is not to be used by pregnant women because of its diuretic effect and the fact that it can encourage uterine contractions, or those with kidney disease because of its potential diuretic effect and that the plant's oils can worsen kidney inflammation.

• Cook a tablespoon of celery seeds in two cups of water until they are soft; strain and drink 1/2 cup four times a day.

Charcoal Take 1/2 -1 teaspoon of activated charcoal daily.

• Make a poultice using 1/2 cup of activated charcoal, 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed and warm water to draw out the toxins.

Cherries If you are lucky enough to have fresh cherries, eating 6-8 cherries daily will relieve the symptoms of gout. This remedy was reported in 1950 by Dr. Ludwig W. Blau who cured his own gout. Frozen and canned cherries may also be used. When you feel an attack coming on, eat 20-30 cherries immediately. Cherries are rich in compounds that prevent the destruction of collagen, which the body uses to form connective tissue. The connective tissue is damaged by gout. Cherries also have an enzyme that neutralizes uric acid and are high in anthocyanins which have high antioxidant properties as well as anti-inflammatory action. For greatest effectiveness eat them between meals.

Devil's claw reduces uric acid levels and is a natural cleansing agent for toxic impurities. Take 400 mg of the dried extract 3x a day for as long as desired.

DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) is very effective in relieving pain and swelling caused by inflammation. It helps dissolve crystalline deposits.

Garlic Eat several cloves of raw garlic daily. Mince the garlic and add it to black cherry juice for a potent remedy.

Ginger Put 1/3 cup of ground ginger (buy in bulk to keep the cost down) in a bathtub of water and soak for 30 minutes. This will cause you to sweat (a good thing) which will help eliminate the uric acid from your tissues. When you are finished the bath be sure to rinse off thoroughly, as the ginger can cause skin irritation if it dries on your skin.

Grapes are high in alkalines which lessen the acidity of uric acid and aid in its elimination from the body.

Hawthorn is high in anthocyanosides and flavonoids, which are helpful in overcoming gout.

Hydrangea is an anti-inflammatory.

Ice Apply an ice pack for ten minutes, then alternate with a moist hot-towel compress, to soothe and numb the pain.

Mullein Soak mullein leaves in a hot vinegar/water mixture. Pack the leaves on the affected area.

Nettle contains alkaloids which neutralize uric acid.

Parsley acts as a natural diuretic.

Quercetin The flavonoid quercetin inhibits uric acid production in a similar fashion to commonly prescribed drugs for gout. Take 1000 mg of quercetin along with 1,000-1,500 mg of the enzyme bromelain (to enhance absorption) two to three times daily between meals. Bromelain also help reduce the inflammation.

Red clover has traditionally been one of the standard remedies for gout, as well as removing toxins from the body, and treating psoriasis, eczema, and hot flashes. Studies have shown that red clover may thin the blood, so it should not be used by patients who are also taking an anticoagulant medication. While red clover is high in isoflavones, the reason it is helpful in treating gout has not been studied.

Saffron neutralizes uric acid buildup.

Spearmint Make a poultice of spearmint leaves and wrap the affected area.

Strawberries Eating a cup of strawberries with each meal should bring quick relief. They neutralize uric acid.

Yarrow Make a tea by using equal parts of yarrow and stinging nettles; strain, cool and drink several cups a day.

Gout is an extremely painful form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid in the system

2010-01-26T03:24:00.000-08:00

Gout is an extremely painful form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid in the system. It's most common in overweight men over age 40. Losing weight, eating right, reducing the amount of alcohol in your diet and drinking plenty of water help reduce uric acid levels, decreasing the frequency and intensity of flare-ups. The recommended diet for gout is low in purine-rich foods (purine is a protein byproduct) and high in anti-inflammatory foods, such as omega-3 fats, berries and cherries.
Uric Acid Metabolism

Uric acid is a normal part of metabolism, made by our bodies when purines are broken down (a byproduct of protein foods). Usually, uric acid is dissolved in the blood, filtered by the kidneys and excreted from the body through urine. Those suffering from gout either produce too much uric acid or are unable to efficiently excrete it. Over time, uric acid condenses and forms sharp crystals around joints, resulting in inflammation and severe pain. Attacks come and go but may last for weeks. Deposits of these crystals (tolphi) build up around joints and cartilage, increasing in size over time. Long-term results may be crippled joints and the development of uric acid kidney stones. Drug therapy and lifestyle modifications are beneficial for decreasing attacks.
Control Your Weight

Obese people have higher levels of uric acid in the bloodstream. Thus, staying in a healthy weight range offers protection against gout. Interestingly, even a slight weight gain (six to 10 lbs.) in early adulthood increases the risk of developing gout. Those who are able to control their weight typically eat a calorie-controlled diet that's low in total and saturated fats.
Avoid Purine-Rich Foods

Eliminate foods that are high in purines. These are typically protein-rich foods, but there are other foods and beverages that contain significant amounts of purines. Doing this helps prevent severe symptoms and may enhance the effectiveness of drug therapy. Foods to be avoided on a low-purine diet include: organ meats (liver, kidney and sweetbreads), sardines, anchovies, mackerel, canned fish, mussels, beef, pork roast, chocolate, beer, red wine and beans. Foods that offer a moderate amount of purines (eat less of these foods) include: peas, legumes, oatmeal, spinach, asparagus, mushrooms and luncheon meats.
Beverages

Drink alcohol in moderation. It can worsen gout in two ways. Alcohol increases the body's production of uric acid, and it impairs the kidney's ability to excrete the uric acid. Heavy red wines have the highest purine content. Drinking water, on the other hand, helps flush the kidneys and dilutes the uric acid in the bloodstream. Juices count as well. Aim for at least 10 cups daily. If you want to drink juice, choose black or tart cherry juice and/or pomegranate juice. Both of these contain phytonutrients (disease-fighting plant compounds) that are anti-inflammatory. Water them down to decrease sugar content. Try drinking non-fat milk as well. Non-fat milk (and low-fat yogurt) have health benefits that include decreasing elevated uric acid levels in the bloodstream.
Eat More Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Consume healthy fats, especially omega-3 fats, in moderation. This essential fatty acid has anti-inflammatory benefits. Choose vegan sources of omega-3 fats such as walnuts, flaxseeds, and flax and canola oil. Cherries and other dark red/blue berries are rich in compounds that protect collagen from being destroyed (an effect of gout). These berries contain an antioxidant flavonoid chemical group known as anthocyanins (that give them their bluish-red hue). Anthocyanins fight inflammation, characteristic of any type of arthritis. Tart cherries are also rich in one powerful antioxidant known as quercetin. Quercetin acts as an anti-inflammatory agent as well. Eating blueberries, strawberries and especially cherries daily may alleviate pain because of their powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
