Manny Pacquioa’s Trainer Freddie Roach Slams Floyd Mayweather Accusing Him Of Running From A Fight (Video)

Freddie Roach, the successful trainer of well-liked boxer, Manny Pacquiao, has slammed his client’s fellow champion, undefeated superstar, Floyd Mayweather, stating he keeps providing excuses in attempts at running from a fight with the new WBO titleholder. Yes, Roach went there! Oh, this is getting good!

Roach insists Pacquiao is and has been ready to fight Mayweather anytime, any place. He states it is now up to Mayweather to commit. Roach stated he feels public demand for the match up has somewhat waned over the past two years. However, Pacquiao defeating worthy rival, Timothy Bradley, has greatly renewed interest. 

Timothy Bradley and Manny Pacquiao

Roach stated to the Telegraph newspaper, "We'd love to fight [Floyd] Mayweather but there have been so many excuses. He really doesn't seem to want to fight us, but we want that fight. I think my guy beats him...It was not the best I have seen Manny perform, but I'm not annoyed with him, I'm annoyed at myself for not seeing Bradley's plan coming..."I've stopped getting angry about Mayweather refusing to fight my guy, but we've agreed to everything - a 60/40 split of the purse, blood testing, whatever it is... and then he comes up with something else."

Roach further stated, "The problem he has is history will judge this. The thing is he is the one who won't fight us. Manny is going to go down in history as a great fighter, the greatest fighter of his era. Mayweather is going to go down as a great fighter, but the guy who never fought Manny Pacquiao." 

   

Floyd Mayweather  

Mayweather has been silent on Paquiao’s unanimous victory in the Bradley fight this past weekend, though many have sought his opinion on the bout. He is also withholding comment on Roach’s recent statements, accusing him of ducking a fight with Pacquiao. However, Mayweather is not one to bite his tongue for long.

Side Bar: People joked on Twitter that Manny Pacquiao’s mom, who was in the audience during his fight, put a hex on Timothy Bradley, cause he lost the fight and injured his calf. Y'all are wrong for that on Twitter (LOL). Last week I stated on Twitter that she was fervently praying for her son, with a prayer card and cross (rosary) around her hand. She confirmed it yesterday. I said a prayer for Manny last week too before the fight.

Mommy Dionesia says no hex on Bradley, only a sorry

Sunday, 13 April 2014 22:53 - MANILA, Philippines — Dionesia Pacquiao, mother of champion Manny Pacquiao, clarified online trends and speculations that she was casting a spell on his son's opponent, Timothy Bradley, during their match in Las Vegas on Sunday.

"Rosary lang. Habang nagbakbakan sila, nagpe-pray ako para sa kanya. Sabi ko sa Panginoon na, sana pabagsakin niya si Bradley," Dionesia said in an interview with dzBB on Monday. News outfits said Dionesia, wearing a white gown, stole the show during the much-anticipated rematch.

She was spotted pointing fingers seemingly at Bradley, glaring menacingly, kissing a prayer card while reading aloud while the two fighters traded blows. Dionesia, a fervent Catholic, said her prayers seemed to have worked after she saw her son gaining ground as Bradley was losing his footing. "Nakita ko na, four rounds na ... ang paa ni Bradley, 'pag papunta kay Manny, gano'n gano'n na e. Sabi ko, praise the Lord!" she said...

Dionesia was afterwards seen on camera approaching Bradley and speaking with him. "Sinabihan ko siya na, 'I'm sorry, Bradley ... sports, boxing lang ha'," she recalled. "Tumatawa si Bradley sa akin. Humarap siya sa'kin, tawa ng tawa. Sabi niya, 'No problem, mama, I need more time'," Dionesia added...

Fight Week Conditioning with Manny Pacquiao

When boxing star Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KO) steps back into the ring this weekend against Timothy Bradley, he’ll be faster and more explosive than he has been in years, thanks in large part to the return of strength and conditioning coach Justin Fortune, whose old school, power-and-speed based approach helped Pacquiao gain a reputation as a knockout artist on his rise to superstardom...

MANNY’S POWER WORKOUT 

Pacquiao’s strength and conditioning routine is different most days of the week but many of the elements he tackles most often are contained in this full-body thrash devised by Fortune.

Exercise Sets/Reps (or Time)
Plyo Push-Up Circuit 3/101
Plyometric Cone Drill 1/3 min.
Battle Ropes 4/3 min.
Jump Rope 1/10 min.

Manny rarely exceeds one minute of rest between any sets or exercises to simulate fight night recovery demands.

1 Manny shoots for three sets of 10 reps on each of the four exercises (see below) but terminates a set the instant he feels like he is slowing down. “It’s all about speed,” Fortune says. “You want your hands touching the floor or the platforms for as little time as possible.” 

2 Fortune sets up five cones in a cross, or an X, with one of the cones at the center. Each cone is spaced 1-2 feet apart. Starting in the center cone with his feet together, Pacquiao hops quickly to the forward cone and back to the center. Landing softly, he quickly switches direction to a cone at his side or behind him. He works on a variety of patterns for three straight minutes. 

3 For his work on the battle ropes, Pacquaio performs several variations – hands together, hands apart, long waves, short waves and side-to-side – for three, one-minute rounds.

Plyo Push-up Circuit 

Variation 1: Manny starts with his hands spaced narrowly on the floor, just inside of two stable platforms, each 4-10” high, depending on the day. From there, he explodes up and lands softly with his hands on top of the platforms. He pauses only briefly before lowering himself into another push-up, exploding at the top and returning his hands to the floor between the platforms. Each time up and each time down count as reps, so his aim is five up and five down for one set. 

Variation 2: Starting in push-up position with his left hand on the platform and right hand on the floor, Manny descends into a push-up and powers his way laterally over to his right so that his left hand is now on the floor and his right hand is on the right platform. Pacquiao pauses only briefly before descending into a push-up and reversing direction explosively to his left. Each lateral bound is one rep. 

Variation 3: Starting with his hands on the floor between two platforms, Manny “walks” his hands up to the top of both platforms, putting one hand up, then the other. Each time he returns to the floor counts as one rep. 

Variation 4: Performing the standard plyometric push-up with a shoulder-width hand spacing, Manny aims to get as much air as possible on each rep...

Are You Marrying The Right Person?

Love is something special. When you find the right one you know. Marriage is a logical step and a great one. The question is are you marrying the right one. It is a huge life decision that will impact the course of your life. It is not one to be pressured into or rushed into, as that is your life.

Marriage should never be about money or social status. It should be about love and commitment. Making a vow to the one you truly love and believe is your soulmate. Love is priceless. It should not be taken lightly, undervalued or overlooked.

Sometimes people rush into marriage and it creates serious problems in their lives. They end up marrying the wrong one and seriously regretting it. Sometimes people think they are in love, when it is actually lust. They believe they want someone who is not the right person for them, because they are acting on their hormones. Looks fade (that goes for men and women). What you are left with afterwards is what will last in your life, so make sure this is the right person for you.

Compatibility is very important. Sometimes women cling to men who simply are not right for them and rush them down the altar only for it to end in disaster, heartbreak and regret. Sometimes men marry women for all the wrong reasons - lust, pressure from family and friends, an unplanned pregnancy used to trap them.

Speaking of that, family and friends need to be careful about trying to tell others who they should marry. You may mean well, but end up pushing the person into marriage with the wrong person, then later regret interfering. Don't tell people who they should marry.

Prince Charles and Camilla Parker when they were younger

I'll cite a famous example. Prince Charles fell madly in love with Camilla Parker, who felt the same way about him. They were both single, young and very much in love. The compatibility was there, but some didn't see it. His family and friends stated she was not suitable for him, because she did not come from what they deemed the right background and was a year older than Prince Charles.

Camilla, unable to deal with what Charles was being told, broke off the relationship, then ran off and married another man. According to books on the subject, when Prince Charles received word the love of his life had ran off and married someone else, he was devastated. His family and friends' advice had ruined their lives, which would become more and more apparent as time went by.

Prince Charles and Diana never saw eye to eye

Prince Charles later married my favorite royal, Lady Diana, who became Princess Diana. However, Diana and Charles were totally incompatible and he based on his own words, was not in love with her. He was being pressured into marriage by family and friends to produce an heir. After Charles and Diana married, it became apparent they were incompatible. They were like night and day. He loved the country, she loved the city. He loved books, she liked magazines. He loved museums and art, she loved fashion.

The age gap didn't help either. It caused problems between Charles and Diana. Where the Palace thought, like so many do, someone younger was the better choice, they were wrong in this case, as it caused major problems with Diana and Charles, who simply did not relate to each other. There was a generation gap and they did not share the same interests.

A glum looking Princess Diana and Prince Charles whose marriage was troubled from the outset

Worst of all, Charles was not in love with Diana. The man looked glum in pre-wedding interviews and when asked if he is in love gave a roundabout answer that indicated no. That was a warning sign no one heeded. Charles was still carrying a flame for Camilla, which led to ill-advised incidents of adultery during the marriage and Diana cheated with other men as well.

The marriage caused Diana and Charles an enormous amount of misery, heartbreak and public ridicule, rocked the monarchy, then ended in a very acrimonious divorce. They simply did not belong together and the very thing the Palace sought to preserve, the monarchy, took a terrible blow because of a marriage that was not meant to be.

Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla today

After Diana died, Charles went right back to the love of his life, his soulmate, Camilla, marrying her. He should have married Camilla from the start, as his family and friends' advice was completely wrong. They say hindsight is 20/20, but people know who they love before they marry. He and Camilla knew in their hearts it was true love, but other people came between them, building walls and barriers that should not have been there, which is the case for quite a few couples, who go on to regret listening to those that led them wrong, albeit unintentionally.

I've had friends ask me who I think they should marry, regarding someone they were dating, but I don't believe in giving specific advice in such matters, because at the end of the day, I don't know their hearts, who they truly love or who God made for them. It's not my place or anyone else's, other than the two people in love and God, to make such a determination. In such situations, I usually just pray for the person that God will guide them into making the right decision. 

Marrying the wrong person can turn into a nightmare. Sadly, people end up divorcing trying to extricate themselves from a marriage that was not based in true love, via a situation that could cost them all they've worked for, destroying their finances and taking them on a terrible emotional roller coaster.  

There is someone ideal for everyone. People won't always agree on every single thing in their lives, but for each person there is someone out there who is ideal for them. Everyone deserves to find and marry that truly love. Don't sell yourself short. You deserve the best and the one that is right for you.

Before you get married, pray about it. Ask God to show you via circumstances if the person you seek to marry is the right one, lest you make the wrong decision. Ask God for guidance and to show you who the right person is for you, lest you make a mistake you end up regretting for the rest of your life. God can bring the right person into your life. Pray and have faith.

The Dangers Of Trapping A Man With Pregnancy In Trying To Make Him Stay

Some women cling to men they simply do not belong with. They are incompatible and have major differences. However, whether it be believing they love the person, it becoming an unhealthy obsession or trying to latch on to a man who is wealthy and or famous, some women get desperate when a man won't commit to them.

This desperation can lead to them doing unethical things, such as lying about birth control or  sabotaging condoms, in order to trick a man into an unplanned pregnancy. No man wants or appreciates such behavior from a woman, as it creates trust issues and feelings of betrayal in being duped and set up. You also run the risk of the pregnancy not turning out as planned, creating even more heartbreak for you and the man.

If a man wants to leave you, tricking him into pregnancy is not going to make him stay. It's a bad idea. He will be more inclined to leave, resentfully feeling he cannot trust you. If your boyfriend finds someone he deems more suitable and believes is the one for him, he will want to leave whether or not you are pregnant. Men do that all the time.

What happens when you trick him into pregnancy, wrongly believing it will trap him and make him stay, he leaves, marries another and gets her pregnant. He will not give your child the time and attention deserved, as his new family will be the priority. This has happened time and time again. Why put yourself in that situation.
If a couple is not married, there is no use in them staying together when they discover they are incompatible and not right for each other. People also should not cheat under those circumstances, as it is dishonest. It is better to break up than do that.

One needs to be honest with one's self and not get tied down in a relationship for the sake of having one, when you full well know the one you are with is not the one for you. In your heart you know when you find that great love, your soul mate. Settling for anything less is not going to make you happy. You have your life to live. While you sit in a relationship of convenience with someone you know is not the one for you, the one who is the right one for you, will end up passing you by, going off with someone else.

There are many women who have realized the one they have been dating is not the right one for them and let go, backed off, ending the relationship. But some women get carried away, determined they will cling to a man they know does not love them, refusing to let go, even if it destroys his life and their own. If you truly care about someone (that's single) you would want them to find true love, even if it is not with you - hence letting them go. Why would you want a man who does not love you, when you could find one who will.

You need to pay attention to your instincts. That doubt and lack of peace in one's soul about someone is an indicator that something is wrong. People often overlook what they are seeing and feeling while dating, regarding things that are underlying, valid concerns.

It is better to be single and wait for the right one, than linger with the wrong one out of convenience, even living in sin (living together and not married) while the right one passes you by, as it will cause you long term unhappiness for short term sexual gratification with someone you're simply not supposed to be with. You will jeopardize your future in doing so.

Living with someone you're not married to is not the best idea. So much can go wrong (and often does). Not to be judgmental, but there are so many ways both partners can end up hurt and damaged from living together while not married. Then you start making serious decisions that only married people should undertake. One of my friends bought a house with her boyfriend and the relationship deteriorated not long after they moved in. They ended up in court over the house in a very acrimonious legal battle costing them both a lot of money and bad feelings. They walked away from the experience very hurt.

In another incident I know, a man moved in his money hungry girlfriend, who was costing him over $500 per month in gifts and items she kept asking for. She even began costing him business opportunities with her clingy, temperamental conduct, trying to push people out of his life and control him at every turn, fearing he would leave. It's like she knew in her heart he didn't love her and it was all about sex. When he finally met someone he fell madly in love with, the woman rejected him because he had a live-in girlfriend (seriously, who in their right mind wants to date a man with a live in girlfriend). He quickly tried to put his girlfriend out, but during the time he worked on getting her out of the property, someone else began dating the woman he fell in love with and proposed to her, leaving him heartbroken. 

Once you find the right person for you, you will know, just make sure you haven't put yourself in a situation that will put you at a disadvantage in getting them. The best way to gain guidance on who is the right person for you is through prayer. Ask God to bring the right person into your life. Ask God to proverbially open the right doors and close the wrong ones in your life as well, lest you make a mistake in choosing the wrong one and end up unhappy and full of regrets. Your future is depending on it.

Beautiful 23-year-old Lauren Scruggs, the model and blogger that worked as a stylist on the television show "Gossip Girl" is making a remarkable recovery, after accidentally walking into a plane propeller at night, proceeding a flight to look at Christmas lights. Two responding paramedics in Texas that received the call regarding the injured young woman, initially thought she would not survive her extensive injuries, which include a severed hand, cracked skill, damaged eye and shoulder, but began to pray for her after transporting her to the hospital.

Lauren Scruggs before the accident

Their prayers were answered, as she survived several surgeries and has been walking and talking again. Though she has no recollection of the accident, Scruggs does remember and know who she is, which is a good sign. She also began walking and counting the number of steps she takes. When given a mirror to look at her injuries, Scruggs replied "It's not that bad." Well, when you're that pretty, it would take a whole lot to change that (I'm sure you're still pretty). Her faith and positive attitude in this time of crisis will be beneficial to her. She is remarkable. Scruggs' family is asking the public to pray for her, as infection is a risk for people attempting to recover from such injuries.

Side Bar: let this serve as notice to people that do not like free speech. Lauren lost her hand, sustained a cracked skull, damaged eye and shoulder in injuries that would have killed most...yet girlfriend popped back up and said I'm fine. She will be back to blogging in no time, telling everyone what to wear for the season and what not to wear if you do not want to look unfashionable. You can't hold a blogger down. Get used to it. Looking forward to her new blog posts...

Polls: Christian Rick Perry Is Top Contender For U.S. Presidency

Rick Perry

Texas Governor, Rick Perry, who is a Christian, has become the top contender for the job of President of the United States in the 2012 election. Perry's had a very big summer, more than any other candidate, with voters vaulting him to the top of many presidential polls, in the lead up to the election. He has even surpassed incumbent, President Barack Obama, in all the major polls.

Perry has openly professed his faith in God. He called upon people to join him in prayer and fasting on August 8, 2011, in support of America, which is facing tough times, due Washington failing to spot the signs of an incoming financial crisis and allowing rich criminals to gouge the poor and middle class. The government could certainly use Jesus because Washington has lost its ever loving mind (in this article Washington = some in government, not the everyday people).

He has also pledged his support to Israel in stating of it, "I'm a big believer that this country was given to the people of Israel a long time ago, by God, and that's ordained." On August 13, 2011, Perry announced he is running for the post of President of the United States and has been dominating polls ever since. If the polls continue in the manner they have been and the public keeps coming out to supporting him at events, it could very well be President Perry.

Study: Prayer Heals

A recently published mainstream study stated "Prayer Heals." This is something Christians have known for centuries. Many Christians have witnessed as people struggling with life threatening infirmities, made miraculous recoveries. Christians have experienced this as well. Faith is able to make a tremendous difference in people's lives and should never be underestimated.

Prayer heals, study finds

Prayer heals when it's close-up and personal, and there's a study to prove it. It's not just any kind of prayer, but "proximal intercessory prayer," or PIP -- when one or more people pray for someone in that person's presence and often with physical contact -- that was found by a team of doctors, scientists and religious experts to have remarkable results in healing some patients.

A team of medical doctors and scientists led by Indiana University professor of religion Candy Gunther Brown found in the study, conducted in rural Mozambique, that prayer brought "highly significant" improvements to hearing-impaired participants and significant changes to the visually impaired...
