San Beda rector wants boxing in NCAA
Updated March 19, 2009 12:00 AM


MANILA, Philippines - Amatuer boxing may be included in the roster of events in the next season of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

Incoming league president San Beda rector Fr. Mat de Jesus, OSB, yesterday bared this plan as they gear up for the hosting of the 85th NCAA season unfolding in June.

“We will strongly consider introducing boxing in the NCAA,” de Jesus told The STAR. “There’s no opposition to it and we do have a chance at the Olympic gold in boxing, so amateur sports associations like the NCAA must support it.”

But de Jesus said it would need the approval of the NCAA Policy Board composed of eight school heads and presidents when it convenes this summer.

“It would definitely need policy board approval, we’ll see what happens this summer,” said de Jesus.

The move was in line with the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines’ thrust of strengthening its grassroots with the absolute goal of capturing the country’s first Olympic gold in the 2012 London Games.

SBP executive director Ed Picson said NCAA’s recent move would be a big boost to the sport if it turns out successful.

He said he first broached the same idea to Management Committee member Fr. Vic Calvo, OP, of Letran years ago but it is only now that it finally came to fore through San Beda’s initiative. – Joey Villar

Exciting sigurado pag me boxing sa NCAA. I think patok ito same as the Basketball. Blockbuster yan maraming manonood.

[AltarBoy^_^]

Feeling ko closed-doors match yan, sigurado may mag-babanatan sa stands pag may natalo. At siyempre, may pustahan pa yan. :boxing: :laugh:

[etsok21]

me point ka pareng altarboy, malamang outside the venue me boxing din pagkatapos, hehehehehe:lol:

[AltarBoy^_^]

Makikinabang nga ang ABAP, pero mas makikinabang ang mga sugarol. :naughty: :glee:

But seriously, the grassroots program is ok but the long-term damage brought about by head injuries might have an effect on a student-athlete's studies. But that's just me. :D

[ylle41]

knowing SBC a lot, ang masasabi ko lang kay Fr. De Jesus bago siya magisip ng ganyan he should think of helping SBC's other sports bago siya tumulong sa ABAP. our very own lady spikers don't have scholarships and allowances pa nga eh.

Ginawa na raw yan ng UAAP and NCAA during 50's but it was stopped din agad daw.

[sigmaroh123]

well lahat naman ng sports meron risk for injuries
even sa chess puedeng magkaroon ng psychological
or mental illness ang isang player. sa ibang physical
sports puede rin magka injury.
sa boxing among other sports lang tayo may higher
chance maging champion. mataas ang chance
compared to other sports.

[AltarBoy^_^]

Well I haven't heard of a chess player running amok or getting some serious concussions.

But we are talking about head injuries, think of the Great Muhammad Ali with Parkinson's Disease for instance. Or that great fighter from down south who became deranged and a nuisance to society. These are both physical and psychological damages inflicted upon boxing athletes. If we are to produce Manny Pacquiaos for the upliftment of the sport then it's a great idea, but I'm just thinking of their careers down the line when they can't make the cut for the national team. And of course, the gambling lords having a heyday again since basketball is the one sport that is tainted with gambling odds. What more if we added boxing? :D

[b a d a s s]

^ Injuries are not as prevalent in amateur boxing as boxers wear head gears, use bigger or more padded gloves, engage in fewer rounds, standing 8 counts are in effect, etc.

[magishine]

Boxing is as dangerous as basketball and I don't think it's a good idea to include the former in the NCAA. Another thing is that boxing may spawn evils in the league as the big bosses may try to capitalize more on this "feasible" sport. If the inclusion of boxing in the NCAA pushes through, then I think a mismatch among teams may happen and the Letranites (and their supporters) will be the heavy favorites in this sport. No wonder Manong Ed seems to be elated by the proposal. :D

[letran_torotot]

Yes yes yes.

It will help the Sport and the athletes.

Bakit ba maraming nagboboxing? Kasi wala daw sila makain, ginagawa nilang hanapbuhay. Nagboboxing na lang kesa mag-aral.

Kung ilalagay mo yan sa kalendaryo ng mga collegiate leagues, imbes na gamitin nilang escape sa kahirapan ang boxing, gamitin na lang para makakuha ng scholarship sa at possibly makatapos at magkadegree. Hindi naman lahat ng boksingero magiging Pacquiao, successful sa career di naman nakapagaral. Ay, doktor nga pala yun!

Kung maisipan man nilang magpropesyunal, ala basketball pagkatapos ng college career, nakapagamateur muna sila at ang mga standout, pwede mo ipadala sa international competition. Nasan ba yung mga may potensyal na boxer? Nasa pro, e di sana napakinabangan muna ng bansa bago sila nagpro kung may magandang amateur program.

Sana lang bigyan ng kanya kanyang short ng mga eskwela.

[Drahow ein Ente]

ang saya-saya nito :bounce:


sana sa UAAP meron din. para di sila madaig MMA daw :lol:

[etsok21]

Boxing is a full contact sports, baka hindi maapprove ng mancom, hehehehe, but i think its an amateur brand of officiating with full safety gear and up to 3 rounds only.

But in a bright side, boxing is one of the sport that filipino can compete in the world coz of weight class, maybe this will bring us the first gold in the olympics, from NCAA school pa. Abay we are very proud of that if it happen.

Kulang lang sa support e, no government support sa sports, meron man kulang. We are always focusing on basketball na we know that no chance in the near future to win the gold in World Basketball or Olympics.

Baseball and Soccer pwede rin tayo, now our ASEAN neighbor countries are competing in this sports in the world and play competitive. They have a players in MLB and Premiership and Spanish League.

[fedor]

kung mayroong boxing.....mas maganda isama na din yung MMA..mas exciting toh, mas malakas sa pustahan..hehe

[redsimba]

Pag nag ka MMA...

Next level na NCAA... hehehehe

[Gospel of Judas]

oo nga, puede naman i-enforce yung olympic boxing rules.

masaya dito pag naglaban ang sbc at csjl. 2007 encore.

hindi ka pa siguro nakakakita ng mga nagkakapikunan dahil hindi matalo yung kalaban sa chess. pati miron nakikisali sa away, hehe.

tol pwede ba tag team. Kukunin ko si Apepe para KO kagad.

My mother was a member of the Philippine Team in Chess (varsity player for UE, panahon ni Jawo). God knows how crazy she was when she was still alive but I guess she didn't go stark raving mad when she loses and she only punishes me when I lose either by tongue-lashing and tsinelas (very effective but my chess IQ didn't improve :lol:). Although I hear Eugene Torre and some players do have some unusual quirks like the late Bobby Fisher. Oh yeah, my brother bubuyog plays chess but he's not about to unleash hell upon worthy opponents. :smokin:

My mom's brother and my uncle is still alive and he's still making the rounds playing street chess in Luneta or somewhere the chess sharks can make a killing in Manila. He even went home wearing an LSGH chess varsity jacket (probably won that from the juniors coach). He just goes home drunk I guess. Self-esteem issues? There are a lot of them. But going nuts and planning a killing spree? I'll ask my uncle first. He's probably lived too many times to tell the tales or he has a lot of "resbak mirons". :glee:

RedRidingDragon - Unless I can see a decent survey of chess players' (besides their unusual habits and lifestyles) psyche, I will choose to differentiate their psychological conditions from boxing athletes. :D

You are referring to the once famous WBC Junior Lightweight Champ, the "Bad Boy From Dadiangas," Rolando Navarrete.

Amateur Boxing is not as knockout-oriented as in professional boxing.
For instance, boxers are trained to focus more on technique than on raw power. There is no weight as to the ability to inflict damage: you hit a scoring blow on legitimate areas on the head and the torso, you earn points. A knockdown counts only as a jab. And there are rules on stoppages put in place with the safety of the boxer in mind.

The more pertinent things to note in amateur boxing rules are:

Points are scored when the boxer hits the opponent on the front or sides of the head, or anywhere on the body above the belt. The knuckle part of the glove must make contact to count.

Rules vary for the different governing bodies in boxing. Amateur boxing matches can last for five or six rounds of two minutes each, or three or four rounds of three minutes each.

In professional boxing, title contests last twelve rounds of three minutes each, eliminator contests last for ten or twelve rounds of three minutes each, other contests can be over six rounds of two minutes each, or six, eight, or ten minute rounds lasting three minutes each.

In all contests, there is a one minute break between rounds.

MORE COMPLEX RULES

How a winner is decided

Knockout / Count-out

When a boxer is knocked to the floor, the opponent is sent to a neutral corner by the referee. The referee will count out loud up to ten. If the boxer who has been knocked down does not get up, a knockout is declared and the opponent wins.

There may also be a standing count in amateur boxing. If a boxer remains upright, the referee may begin the count for the knockout if the boxer looks unable to continue. This rule is in place as a safety measure for boxers.

The term knockout does not have to mean literally knocked unconscious.

Points

The winner may be decided by who has landed the most fair punches, or by points awarded by judges.

In both amateur and professional bouts, there are a number of judges by the ring (the number can vary according to the organisers, often five), who will use computer equipment to judge when a fair punch has been landed. The winner is the boxer who has landed the most fair punches.

In amateur boxing the winner of a round gets 20 points, and the opponent proportionately fewer. if the boxers have fought an equal round, they both get 20 points.

Auxilary points (three to one full point) are awarded for scoring punches. They can also be awarded at the end of a contest for attack, defence, leading off, or style.

In most professional matches, points are awarded up to 10 for a round. In both amateur and professional boxing, draws are permitted if both boxers have scored equally.


Stoppages

A bout may be stopped before time for several reasons.

- Disqualification

- Retirement

- Stoppage by the referee


Disqualification

If a boxer persistently breaks any of the following rules, they will first be given a warning, with loss of points, then disqualified after three warnings. The opponent would win automatically.

- Punching outside target areas - below the belt, back of the neck, kidneys.

- Pivot or backhanded hits

- Hitting with the side of the hand, wrist, elbow, head, inside of the glove

- Excessive bodily contact

- Repeatedly ducking below opponent's waistline

- Failing to step back from a clinch when ordered to 'break'

- hitting on the break

- Deliberately punching an opponent when they are on the floor or falling

- Holding onto the ropes for defence or attack (injuries do not count)

In addition, the referee may rule anything as a foul that is deemed to be outside the rules.


Retirement

In this case, this does not mean literally the end of the career, but if the opponent or their team feels they are unable or unwilling to continue, they can retire from the bout. The opponent would automatically win.

Stoppages by the referee

The referee may stop the contest if they decide that one or both boxers are unable to continue.

[letran_torotot]

Tungkol naman sa injuries at sugal..

Sabi nga sa taas, lahat ng sports may risk for injuries. Amateur rules naman 'to eh. Iskoran ang magiging laban dito, bihira naman tko sa amateur, at meron ding rule na pag outscored na ang kalaban, tapos na laban. Meron na rin naman contact sport na taekwondo ang NCAA, ano ngayon ang malaking kaso kung contact sport ang boxing.

Kung ayaw natin ng sugal sa sports, 'wag na rin tayong magpabasketball. Hindi naman magpapapigil ang mga sugarol eh, bakit din naman natin pipigilan ang sports development dahil sa kanila. Pero sa tingin ko rin naman, hindi magiging ganoon kalaki ang hatak nito sa mga manunugal. Magiging isa lang sa mga events ng NC 'to na overshadowed ng basketball. Kasi nga amateur. Sino ba pumapansin sa ibang sports ng NC? Sino din ba nakakakilala kila Tañamor, Galido, Tipon etc.?

Pero syempre sana suportahan ng schools at students ang mga boxers kung matuloy man ito.

[AltarBoy^_^]

Thank you sir MonL for that brief introduction to Amateur Boxing. I just hope that the rules will be followed effectively and that protective gears are used properly when the NCAA approves it. :D

letran torotot - I respect your points as they are valid. However, as long as there are gambling syndicates that can corrupt a boxer by taking a dive or KO, I am not sure of the repercussions or the benefit of the sport when it is approved. The psychological aspect is just one of the things I am concerned about besides the gambling and career-ending injuries that might happen. But a college diploma is the best weapon they can wield beyond the games. ;)

[andyknight18]

my lolo use to tell me that boxing was among the past time of college student in manila during the pre-war era, circa 30' to early 40's. every weekends after school, the old UP in padre faura hold a weekly boxing tourney which the students from different colleges from metro manila participates.

i even recall during an invocation of KNIGHTS sports hall of famer, how they honor two legendary alumnus of the colegio, oympic boxer carlos padilla and jose padilla jr. which saw action during the 1932 olympics

knowing how boxing fanatic we pinoys are, if mancom decided the green light for this one, NCAA might be the stepping stone for the success of amateur boxing in the philippines. *okay*

[toti mendiola]

Pag na aprubahan ang boksing sa NCAA antayin ko sugod ng mga magulang ng mga estudyanteng lalahok at tingnan ko kang kundi boksingin ng mga magulang mga organizer.:D

[ylle41]

oo nga, puede naman i-enforce yung olympic boxing rules.

masaya dito pag naglaban ang sbc at csjl. 2007 encore.

:rotflmao::lol:

I remember it noong nasa Araneta ako and I'm seated at upper A.

at topic: simply no to boxing in NCAA.

[AltarBoy^_^]

If ever it is approved and the point system is in place. Who will be the three judges? Three member schools or people from ABAP?

[red_track]

^ idol ko si apepe. sana bumalik sya. at mag heavy weight

[RedRidingDragon]

College/Amateur boxing could go on and won mostly by points unless hardcore talaga yung boxer sumusuntok ng kalabaw at puno.

[tickle_me_emo]

in terms of being a pure physical contact sports, holding boxing tournament amongst colleges and universities is not unprecedented, taekwondo in college sports exist since the early 90's...yun nga lang taekwondo mas may finesse, at ang mga kasali dito bata pa lang nag te training na and lam nila mga discplines na required sa sports na ito.

[magishine]

Letranites are good in boxing whether it's in the arena or outside of it. It's just so scary to see boxing being included as an NCAA sport and more frightening to watch your school compete in a boxing match against Letran.

[MakaveliLives]

Ok to para sa mga aspiring boxers sa probinsya..kunin sila scholar ng mga school..naging amateur boxer na sila, may education pa sila..kesa naman sa boxing sila aasa at hindi na mag a aral tapos pag hindi sumikat eh wala na..

Hindi naman siguro magiging wild ang fans dito..basketball pa din ang pinaka wild na fans..kase andyan ang passion talaga ng mga students..kaya naman nagkakagulo dahil hindi ma control yung passion eh..nadadala ng emosyon..

Basta there's a good system in place maganda to..with that being said, hindi sha pwede next season..:)

[Big Daddy]

Amateur boxing rules will be implemented here. So, it will probably go to a maximum of 3 rounds only.

The bad side to this I think, is that baka pustahan lang ito ng mga estudyante. Mauuwi lang ito sa sugal and then eventually to game-fixing.

[MonL]

All NCAA sports can fall victim to this, after all, so it's a matter of policing the ranks.

[wildstag]

this is totally ridiculous. Why would they put a sport that features very violent actions. Is this all the commitees have become? Creating something a show that people would tend to get entertained watching those 2 players getting punched and bruised all over their bodies like 2 spiders are on a fight? I have no idea why another good and better sport comes into their mindS. pwede **** synchronised swimming?

[andyknight18]

Amateur boxing rules will be implemented here. So, it will probably go to a maximum of 3 rounds only.

^^same as taekwondo, two rounds of 2mins./per round scoring. a sudden death round will imply incase both score tied after two rounds.

sa boxing siguro usually end by either unanimous or split decision.. what if it ends up at draw? tabla parehas, diskumpyado isulat sa ranking?!:lol:

^^ dito natin masusubukan ang effectiveness ng NBI sa game fixing and gambling involving student-athletes and to the school in particular. come to think of it, after what happen to PCU hindi naman siguro matigas ang ULO ng NCAA members schools eh?!:D

[Drahow ein Ente]

patok sa mga bading ito :glee:

[ylle41]

before thinking boxing, ibang sports muna isipin nila. Napagiwanan na NCAA ng UAAP sa volleyball pa lang.

[arkuo14]

boxing would be great for the league! its even financially appealing to sponsors! imagine a boxing match between san beda and letran! or lasalle and ateneo if it reaches the UAAP!

[calooooy4]

boxing looks interesting pero they should choose the right audience for that. this sport might be too dangerous for young collegiates.

[yohei_mito2]

ayos to boxing additional sport sa NCAA...pagnagkapikunan ang mga basketball players o ang mga fans..magkakaroon na sila ng venue :glee:

pero dapat isipin muna nila itong mabuti...syempre mga elitista makikipagboxing? pwde pero as a hobby lang siguro pero kung gagawin mong varsity team..medyo mahirap pa ata yun..

in addition, di lang naman ang boxing ang may potential na makapagbigay ng 1st ever gold in Olympics sa Pinas..andyan ang taekwondo, judo, swimming, etc.. ang kelangan lang talaga dyan eh suporta ng government..

[renestrauss2004]

gusto mo bang 'buntalin' ka ng mga letranista sa sinabi mong yan:lol::bop:

[pulang leon]

College boxing is usually around 3 rounds lang naman eh. It won't even go to 6 rounds. So parang points lang naman ang paglalabanan, unless you really are that strong and good and can knock out another boxer in 3 rounds or less with all that head gear too, softer gloves, etc.

Amateur Boxing is what you call a "sport martial art" like taekwondo, karate or wushu. It is a demonstration of skill in a specialized sport. Knockout power is a bonus. That's why you have rules and equipment that not only emphasize more the skill of a boxer but also his safety. If collegiate boxing will push through, it will conform to amateur boxing rules.

Professional boxing is more brutal as knockout power is now a prime factor not only in a boxer's chance for survival but also in his marketability to paying patrons, which in turn determines the size of his purse.

[KnightofLetran]

rumble days na naman to pag nagkataon.:lol:

Pero mas maganda sana kung Kickboxing/Muay thai na lang. Parang K-1.

4 new sports eyed in NCAA calendar
By Joey Villar Updated April 02, 2009 12:00 AM


MANILA, Philippines - The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is planning to include four new sports — boxing, fencing, archery and air rifle in its calendar of events starting this year.

“We’re open to any possibility, we have not actually decided on it yet but we are seriously considering adding boxing, fencing, archery and air rifle into our NCAA calendar,” said league president Fr. Mat de Jesus, OSB, of Season 85 host San Beda during Tuesday’s official turnover rites.

The NCAA Policy Board is expected to discuss the proposal when it convenes tomorrow.

“Of course, everything must go through the Policy Board,” said the San Beda rector.

De Jesus earlier announced he would strongly push for the inclusion of boxing in the league calendar in line with the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines’ program of discovering and developing talents for future national teams.

The league is also hoping to include fencing, archery and air rifle, all Olympic sports like boxing.

“It’s the NCAA’s own way of helping the country,” said de Jesus.

Soft tennis, meanwhile, will be a demo sport this year.

NCAA board tackles expansion, new sports
Updated April 03, 2009 12:00 AM


MANILA, Philippines - The NCAA Policy Board will tackle today the last-minute inclusion of at least one more school and the addition of four new sports this season in a meeting today.

League president Fr. Mat de Jesus, OSB, of host San Beda said the board will decide whether or not they with proceed with a seven-team roster or make it an eight-squad cast when Season 85 unfolds on June 27 at the Araneta Coliseum.

“All these possibilities would be discussed,” said de Jesus during the turnover of the hosting rites from Mapua president Dr. Reynaldo Vea Tuesday.

Vying for the eighth slot are Arellano University, Angeles University Foundation, Lyceum or Emilio Aguinaldo College.

The board is also expected to tackle the possible inclusion of boxing, fencing, archery and air rifle into its 85th NCAA sports calendar.

The San Beda rector has earlier stated he would strongly recommend boxing to be staged in the season to help boost the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines’ program of discovering and tapping talents who could be trained and developed to become members of the national team.

“Boxing is a sport where we have strong Olympic potential so we hope to include it in our NCAA calendar,” de Jesus said.

San Beda, seeking a fourth straight championship, heads the cast together with Jose Rizal U, Mapua, Letran College, San Sebastian, College of St. Benilde and Perpetual Help. – Joey Villar

Tuwing napapanood ko yan sa tv bwisit na bwisit ako! Di ko talaga maapreciate yang sport na yan! Parang matayataya! Takbuhan lang ng takbuhan! Napakawalang kwenta talaga ng sport na yan!

Kung Rugby lang din edi american football na lang! Di hamak na mas maganada yun! :lol:

Opinion lang po! *peace*

Pero sa boxing, air rifle, fencing at archery ayos na ayos sakin yun! *okay*

Diba sinisinghot yan. :D

Ah haha! Funny ka bro! :rotflmao: :D Sumakit tyan ko sa katatawa! :rotflmao:

Oo sinisinghot nga yun eh tas pag nasobrahan sila nagiging hyper sila kaya nagtatakbuhan sila. Kaya yun. Kaya lang alam ko bawal sa under 18 yun eh! Kaya kung magkakaron sa NCAA ng rugby hindi pwede magkaron nun sa juniors division kaya sayang lang diba? :depressed:

[Drahow ein Ente]

Rugby? Di maganda yun. Wala namang kwenta yung sport na yun eh! Takbuhan lang ng takbuhan! Lalo na dito sa New Zealand sikat na sikat yung sport na yan! Tuwing napapanood ko yan sa tv bwisit na bwisit ako! Di ko talaga maapreciate yang sport na yan! Parang matayataya! Takbuhan lang ng takbuhan! Napakawalang kwenta talaga ng sport na yan!

Kung Rugby lang din edi american football na lang! Di hamak na mas maganada yun! :lol:

Opinion lang po! *peace*

Pero sa boxing, air rifle, fencing at archery ayos na ayos sakin yun! *okay*

ang saya kaya ng rugby! di lang puro takbuhan yun, kung ma-corner ka bugbog ka na :lol:

Ang mahirap sa american football kailangan mo pa ng special equipment. sa rugby kahit ordinaryong damit pwede na :evil:

[MC21]

Yes. Let boxing, judo, taekwondo, wushu, karate, jiujistu and wrestling flourish in collegiate sports.

i think si taganas of RL pwede sa boxing. he's huge and heavily built. pang boxing din also, hindi lang basketball. just my opinion.

[excusemyfrench]

taganas is big, but fat and slow. if he'd face another heavyweight im sure he'll go down fast. remember, boxing would have weight classes. dang, i wish mma/boxing was introduced years ago.

[MonL]

^First of all, Taganas is not built for boxing, so it's really illogical to discuss further his chances against a real boxer. Training and conditioning of these two sports are worlds apart.

Just as it is not logical comparing powerlifters and bodybuilders. Like apples and oranges, there is no comparison at all.

[rpp18]

ever heard the name butterbean? fat and slow (as in really fat and slow) but was able to dismantle/destroy his muscular and sometimes much bigger opponents. punching power is the name of the game here.*okay*

my two cents worth.

[AltarBoy^_^]

Ah, but it's also speed or footwork. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. ;)

[rpp18]

remember larry johnson? power forward of the charlotte hornets before(now bobcats). he used to be an amateur boxer before going to the NBA. he has a commercial for converse i think(not sure) he's grandma ma.

[MonL]

Butterbean is a novelty at best but really is more a joke than a credible boxer. He has mostly fought 4-round bouts against patsies or club fighters living on skid row. He has NEVER faced any top ten contender or champions from any of the three most credible alphabet organizations, the WBA, WBC or even the IBF. His bout against ex-champ Larry Holmes in 2002 doesn’t even count for credibility as Holmes has long been retired and was what, 50+ years old? when he fought Mr. Bean. Yet Holmes took him to school, winning on a 10-round UD.

Ex-Charlotte Hornet Kendall Gill took up the sport of boxing at age 37 after hanging up his NBA sneakers in order to maintain his conditioning. But he trained AS A BOXER for a long time before climbing up the ring in order to fight.

My point here is of training properly for a particular sport. There is no generic training program for athletes to immediately transit from one sport to the other. To be a good basketball player, you have to train to be one. Same goes with boxers. Otherwise you’d wind up with skills you don’t need and lack the ones you need to play at a high level or survive in a brutal environment of supervised combat.

discussion was finished from the get-go.

no comparison between powerlifters and bodybuilders? dont talk about it. its not your field.

[rpp18]

ok ba mag enroll sa elorde boxing stable/club? theres one in sm southmall. they also teach MMA and muay thai. any feed back regarding trainings.

[MonL]

Big fat and slow? Dont talk about that too. That's not your field, either. Ask guys who played against him

[rpp18]

taganas in one of the underrated players in the ncaa. the kid is hardworking underneath the boards and has good working habits. as far as his basketball skills is concerned i give him a 9. i remember his red cub days he plays center at 6'3. he was an immovable object inside the paint. as a RL he battled the best centers that the ncaa can offer again only at 6'3 for a center. he went up against andaya(6'7) and pep moore of baste(6'8) and he stand his ground. If he decides to try boxing and trains hard, for sure he'll be a force to reckon with. Just imagine taganas "the boxer" just gives u the creeps just thingking about it huh.

[rpp18]

Go san beda fight!

[cute_neat]

sa boxing tayo pang world class. just like manny pacquiao. sana matuloy ito, para ma ka discover tayo ng another sports legend

[Derrick_Rose]

Amateur Boxing naman kaya 3 Rounds lang ito. Saka meron naman sila na gamit na Head Gear, and 10 ounces naman yung Gloves na gamit nila.

[King_neroj]

Sayang wala na ang PCU - jan pa naman sila magaling..hehehe
