Star Power(Mayweather VS Ortiz)

Josesito Lopez-Jesse Vargas

Lopez comes into this fight with more experience. But after the 1st round, he's the one who's bloodied with a cut lip. The battering basically continued until the 3rd round, when Vargas suddenly ate some Lopez knuckles. The round ended with Lopez bangin' away. Vargas' knees even buckled!

Vargas' knee.

In rounds 4 and 5, Lopez was the more aggressive one. But Vargas was the one who was landing the cleaner shots. Despite these clean landings, Vargas was rocked a li'l bit once again.

In the 8th round, Lopez received a low blow by Vargas. Lopez almost automatically had this round 10-8. After that losing round, Vargas seemed to have found another gear, albeit with rubbery legs.

now in the 10th and final round, Vargas almost wen out, but it wasn't enough for Lopez. Vargas wins via split decision!


Adonis Stevenson VS Dion Savage

This was one for the super-middleweights. Heavy punchers I should say. In the opening round, Adonis "Superman" Stevenson from Quebec Canada showed everyone why he's Superman. He had Savage kissin' the canvas. Refere Tony Weeks gave him another chance to fight, but he blew it.Savage wasn't returning any shots so Weeks said that enough was enough. Stevenson wins via TKO.

I don't know why they're so many of 'em black Supermans!

Pablo Cesar Cano VS Erik "El Terrible" Morales

I really don't know anything about Cano. Except that he looks like one young tyke. He basically just outboxes Erik in the opening round.

Now in the following round, Cano had the edge  in punches landed, cutting off Morales' angles. Though El Terrible showed how wily he was, by doin' the basic 1-2's. which more or less connected. This kind of boxing continued 'till the 3rd, where I think Morales stole because he was kinda' bullying Cano, showing the young pup his place.

At this point, I grew hungry, so I decided to grab a quarter pounder and fries. When I came back in the 10th, Cano was a bloody mess! Seemed like Morales used his experience to rack up some points. Erik Morales wins via ref stoppage to get the WBC Lightweight Championship of the World.


Saul "Canelo" Alvarez VS Alfonso Gomez

This Super Welterweight bout was Live from the Staples Center. Which was kinda' weird because Starpower is actually in the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. But anyway, on with the program.

The 1st round was kinda' interesting. As Gomez was duckin' in, he ate a left hook from Alvarez which floored him. The 2nd round was a li'l different for Gomez was sending some body-head-body shots to Canelo. The roud ended with chants of  "Canelo" echoin' all throughout the Staples Center.

I still don't really know WTF Canelo means, and I'm too lazy to Google.

In the 3rd, Gomez had an elbow in, and therefore was booed. After that round, Gomez had a slip. Then a barrage from Gomez commences, with Alvarez cleverly doin' a shoulder roll to avoid damage, and at the same time deliverin' counters of his own. A counter upper actually rocked Gomez.

Same thing happened in the 5th, with Gomez bringin' on the pressure. But Canelo just seemed to relax to back down. I should say the kid's pretty good!

I initially thought that the ref prematurely stopped the fight in the 6th. But if you're the ref, the 13th unanswered punch could be bad news for the boxer who's getting beaten to a pulp. Alvarez wins via TKO.


Floyd "Money" Mayweather VS "Vicious" Victor Ortiz

This is just like a typical Money fight, with lots of pugilists and celebs in attendance like Paulie Malignaggi, Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, Winky Wright, Jamie Foxx, 50 Cent(who was actually part of Floyd's entourage when he entered the ring), Magic Johnson, Denzel Washington, Mike Tyson, Oscar Dela Hoya, P Diddy, Mark Wahlberg, etc. I also was confused because Floyd was comin' in as the challenger, and yet he owned the red corner and came in last. You could plainly see the dirty world of boxing politics comin' into play there.

Of course, the opening round belonged to Money. But Ortiz somehow managed to sneak in 2 heavy ones. Looked like FLoyd didn't like gettin' hit. Same story in the next round, with Money shaken up again. Though Money's just too fuckin' fast. He even threw some strange straight rights, where he was stomping his feet after the punch. It wasn't weird for me. It was just genius how he does it.

In the 3rd, the speed difference really showed. Ortiz can't catch the Road Runner in Mayweather. He really makes stickin' and movin' beautiful to watch.

Now the 4th round was where the interesting stuff happened. Ortiz stupidly gave Floyd a head butt while he had him cornered. Tough luck for Ortiz, since he had a point taken against him. It was now almost impossible to catch up on points so a KO in the usual Ortiz fashion was Ortiz's ticket to victory. After the also stupid ref named Joe Cortez separated the two, the two fighters once again shook hands, with stupid Joe looking at the judges table. It was here that Money gave a sucker punch in the form of a mini left hook. This dazed Ortiz just a li'l bit so he looked to Joe to complain. This was another stupidity in Ortiz's part because he wasn't protecting himself so it gave Money an opportunity to sneak in a straight right while Ortiz wasn't lookin'.

Now you can call Floyd a cheater because in reality, he could have just waited for things to settle down, and he would still win the fight. Victor couldn't catch up with him anyway. and he also wasted my money because I was expecting a 12-rounder! Or at least a 6th or 7th rounder for Ortiz is notorious for gassin' out in the 6th. A big boo for Floyd. Can't wait for the Pacman to beat him. Though I would still imagine that this would be a tall order for Manny for how would he catch Mayweather? That's the question. Floyd's fuckin' bionic!

Transformers 3(Dark Of The Moon)

I was just blown away. I mean, really. The debris on me was so thick. I wasn't bored. Though the 3D-ness wasn't that excellent. Autobots and Decepticons weren't jumpin' at me. I like stuff like that.

Anyway, it's sad to see Ironhide die. He's one of the toughest motherfuckers in the history of the Autobots. And yet there he was, shriveled and dead. Like your old man's penis.

Underneath all that shit is the dead body of Ironhide.

I'm just glad that they didn't focus on human character development that much. I mean, Megan Fox's replacement was hot and all(most especially the accent). but who fuckin' cares about Sam Witcicky's love life?!

Not important.

And Shia should be dead too! I can't see why Starscream couldn't bring him all the way to the Stratosphere, then slam him down to the ground. Just because Sam Witwicky was hangin' from his eye, doesn't mean that he can't fly high.

The face of robot stupidity.

I was like a giddy kid upon seein' Sentinel Prime. The reason being that he's the first Prime that I've seen who came before Optimus Prime. I know there was an excerpt of the ancient Primes at the beginning of the 80's cartoon series. But I was just too damn young to recall.

And why won't they just kill Megatron and let him come back as Galvatron? That would be way cooler, since the Autobots always end up winning anyway. They should place a formidable opponent before the Autobots to make shit much more interesting.

My rating for this flick is a 6/10.
+ 1 for replacing that slut named Megan Fox.

The Hangover(Part 2)

A funny sequel to an original that was just as funny. I knew that this franchise would deliver the goods that we Hangover fans were all askin' for.

My bro and I were actually hoping that this should've been done here in the Philippines, since this place is off the chain man! But I guess gettin' paperwork done there in Thailand to shoot the film is way way easier than the ever so slow process of gettin' stuff done here.

And with these bastards on the loose, you might as well forget about it.

The ultimate comic relief here of course is my boy Zach. I'm just amazed because a fat guy like him could be funny, and yet avoid antics that are usually associated with Jack Blacks and Chris Farleys.

In short, he doesn't have to snort coke and be stupid.

I dunno why Chris Cooper is associated with the funnies to begin with. I've got 2 theories. 1st is that the flick just needed a hot guy so they cast him. 2nd is that Chris has been long time friends with these dudes.

As for the other guys, I just didn't really notice 'em that much. Though I admit that I laughed at the dentist in some scenes.

Any guy with this tatt on his face is laughable in my book.

The big surprise here of course was Mike Tyson himself. He kinda' did a Manny Pacquiao by bustin' his vocal chops, no matter how off-key. It's still cute though, his singin' that is.

But his face? No!

I grade this flick 7/10.
+ .5 for Tyson doin' a Manny Pacquiao.
