Juan Manuel Marquez is the current WBC Super Featherweight Champion. In May 2004, he fought Manny Pacquaio to a draw. This was a lucky fight for Marquez. He was destroyed by Pacquao's left hand bombs early in the fight . Manny knocked him out 3 times in the first round. Marquez was so lucky to survive the first round. Later in the rounds he figured out a way to avoid Mannys left hand bombs. They fought in a battle that I though Manny won. The fight ended in a draw. Maybe there should be a rematch between Pacquaio and Marquez since this ended in a draw. This could be a future trilogy.
The Philippines will host the 45th World Boxing Council (WBC) Convention on November 9-17, 2007. This will be the 3rd time for the Philippines to be host.

On January 3, 2007 it was announced that Salonga would return to Broadway in the musical Les Misérables replacing Daphne Rubin-Vega as Fantine on March 6. Her tenure started, however, on March 2, four days earlier than planned. Her casting on the show has been credited with boosting the musical's ticket sales on Broadway. On September 27, 2007, Philippine president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who was in New York, proceeded to Broadway's Broadhurst Theater (235 West 44th Street) to watch Salonga in her new role in the musical. The cast for that night included Filipino-Americans Adam Jacobs as Marius and Ali Ewoldt as Cosette.
Salonga recently made it again to the short list of Broadway.com's Audience Award favorites -- this time for Best Replacement for her new role in Les Misérables. Her contract with the musical ends on October 21, 2007, and she is set to do some performances (including a guest stint in the US Military Academy Band's forthcoming show and her own concert in New York and several projects in Manila and other Asian cities afterwards.

************************************************************************************ WHO SHOULD MANNY PACQUIAO FIGHT NEXT ? ************************************************************************************
MANNY PACQUIAO is now 28 years old. His boxing record is 45-3 and 2 draws. He is the WBC International Super Featherweight Champion. (@130pounds). Manny's wealth increase by $7 million dollars the total payroll he made in his last fight, against Barrera on October 6, 2007.
JUAN DIAZ has WBA and WBO lightweight( 135 pounds) belt. Now he wants MANNYS WBC international belt.He was saying Manny should fight a younger fighter like him(22 yrs old) instead of fighting old mexican legend like his paisano Barrera who is 32 yrs old.
If this match capitalize this will be good fight. There will be a lot of prize money for both fighters. There are a lot of money to be made when a Mexican and a Filipino fight. The question is at what weight, super featherweight or lightweight.Manny is 130 pounds . Juan is 135 pounds. Should they fight be at 135 pounds(lightweight) or 130 pounds (super feather weight)? I would say it is Mannys advantage if they fight at 130 pounds.
************************************************************************************ PACQUIAO BARRERA 2 - October 6, 2007 @ Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas (Mannys last fight) ************************************************************************************ Manny Pacquiao is most exciting boxer right now.

I have a friend that live in Las Vegas whom I considered to be the luckiest person in the world. Why? because he was inside the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas when Mannny landed a powerful punch that knockout for the third time in that bout the Mexican legend Erik Morales in their 3rd and final meeting. Manny Pacquiao achieved greatness by destroying the mexican legend with a K.O. in the third round.
