for boxing, reserve Master Sergeant Manny Acquaio taking on golden boy Oscar de la Hoya tonight in Vegas.
The army is suspending operations to watch the fight on wide-screen, more or less; "their guns will still be at their sides, should anyone try to take advantage".

Live on pay per view!
I haven't watched boxing since Cassius Clay at the Olympics. I hope it's a good match for the fans.

Re: The Philippines go Nuts:
greetings everyone....yes, i'm still alive.. 
a lot has happened since last i was around on the old board...will get to that later...
as for the fight tonight, my finacee (might raise an eyebrow or 2 for any old-timers who read this) and her fam are half flip (dad) and half mexican (mom)...needless to say, they're having a hard time choosing who to root for...they ended up choosing manny, since oscar has had his time in the limelight....
nice to be back...
