Ring Kings








This should've been due more than a week ago. Let's just go ahead with the festivities, shall we?


Deandre Latimore VS Carlos Quintana

A new schooler versus an old school former world champ. I expected Quintana to put on the clamps on Latimore, even if the latter trains at the Mayweather gym in Michigan.
Just because he owns the gym, doesn't mean you win, bitch!
Quintana did a li'l more in and out movement in the first, but Latimore also let some fly too.
I say split this round!


Early in the 2nd, Latimore gave Quintana a low blow. Quintana doesn't take the 5-minute optional breather though. Both these southpaws just kept on exchanging blows, even in the clinch.
It's  just like two orthodox fighters sluggin' it out.


In the next couple of rounds, we see Latimore smotherin' Quintana. But even with all the smotherin', Quintana was still givin' Latimore the ole' 1-2's.


We see both guys throwin' their best combos so far in the mid-rounds. Latimore was blockin' heavy Quintana bombs, but gets nailed still. Latimore had h is hands full with all this Quintana trouble. He may be bothered by the cut on his left eye. Hence, his full hands. Then all of a sudden, Cotto appears.
Shouldn't you be in the locker room?!?


In the 6th round, Quintana just loaded up. Latimore got floored the fuck up with left hooks. He tried to stand up, but he couldn't. Quintana wins via KO!



Jesse Vargas VS Steve Forbes

Evander "The Real Deal"(according to the commentator) Holyfield in the house old schoolers! Tommy Hearns too plus Sugar Ray. This place is packed tonight with legends!
If you would also consider him a legend.


In the first round, Vargas used his punching power over Forbes' vast experience. Steve still has that spring in his step. But it didn't match Vargas and his hangin' out in the fountain of youth.
Vargas just had first dibs on this, sorry!


The fight dragged on to the 10th round, with Vargas landing most of the shots. I actually kinda' dozed off during this fight because I wasn't really interested in its outcome. The fight ended in a boring decision win by Vargas.
Next!


Saul "Canelo" Alvarez VS "Sugar" Shane Mosley

This promising kiddo' is set out to destroy Sugar Daddy Shane. just as we've predicted, destroy him he did. the old man should just hang it up by now.
Bye bitches!


Sugar Shane though still showed his speed that he showed in the last couple of fights. But they were just a bunch of shoe-shine punches. Just enough to gently stroke a fly without it flyin' away because it saw you comin'. But he still put up a valiant effort. He just came up too short.
Sometimes it's OK to be valiant if you don't want to breathe through your nose.


In the end, we hear Canelo callin' out Mayweather, Cotto, and Pacquiao.
Don't you think it's a wee bit too early li'l fella'?


Floyd "Money" Mayweather VS Miguel Cotto

The main event ladies and gentlemen! The much awaited shit. It's what I fuckin' came for. To hell with all the other fights!


The first couple of rounds were just "toying" time for Floyd.
Cotto, in Money's eyes during the first few rounds.
Floyd was just too fast and too technical for Cotto. But his speed decline has reared a bit of its impressively ugly head. So he compensated for it I guess by planting his feet and making it a hitting match. This was well compensated for because Floyd's a goddamn excellent counter-puncher. Plus the fact that his punches have enough power to make your brain swim in cerebral fluid and bump the walls of your inner skull. So there's really no compromise on Floyd's part. Just a lot of blood.
Floyd hasn't tasted this yet 'til now.


Too bad Cotto was a step or two slower. I'm afraid Pacman too could possibly not catch up with Floyd's speed.
Pacman VS Money
But with Pacman's superior footwork, I know that he could close the distance easily.
Add to that the fact that Father Time just texted Floyd.


Just as I predicted, the fight ended in a decision. It was not even close. Cotto just won a single round, maybe two. But the other round was just a giveaway while Money was recovering from fatigue because of Cotto's punches.


There were a couple of instances wherein Cotto seemed to have hurt Money. But even with blood, Money was just shakin' his head, as if tellin' the Puerto Rican Hall Of Famer that his punches were sissy-punches.
It's like when I see a mosquito suckin' my blood. I just shake my head.


If you would use boxing math, Pacman could win against Money because he destroyed Cotto more than Mayweather did. The big question is, can Manny catch up? Floyd's as quick as a vampire. But he showed it here in Ring Kings that he could plant his feet and trade punches. Could Money take Pac's punches? The whole universe is awaiting the answer to that. Make it happen Arum!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows(Part II)











At long fuckin' last! The Harry Potter to end all Harry Potter movies! If you've waited long enough for this, you may wanna cry for you will not see Daniel Radcliffe and friends again for quite some time.
Well you can actually catch him in Broadway once in a while. 


Honestly, I haven't read books 6 & 7 yet. So it was quite a surprise that Severus Snape died a very violent death.
Yes, the Basilisk had a heavy dinner in this final installment. 


I also saw in this film how strong professor McGonagall was. With just a couple of flicks using  her wand, she was able to expel Snape from Hogwarts. It's like the equivalent of your grandma forcing your toughest and meanest uncle out of the house.
Insiders say she's a witty motherfucker as well. 


Now since I haven't read the final books, I feel like I just didn't give a fock even if all of 'em died. As long as Voldemort is also flushed to hell with all the dead, that's all I care about.
He does look like a turd, so the flushing's justified.


As for Harry Potter's stupidity when he threw away the elder wand, well no words could explain that imbecilic act. Would you throw away somethin' that could give you almost absolute power? The only explanation for that would be Harry's paranoia that he would give in to the dark side or somethin'. But that's just plain stupid.
C'mon Harry! You're better than this guy! 


This film gets a 7/10 for me.
-2 for not fully bein' in 3D.
+1 for McGonagall's fight scene(and a line when she said a spell to activate Hogwarts' stone guards.
Overall 6/10!
