A saving grace to a “dying” sport….

Friday, November 24th, 2006

Can a 130-pound Filipino carry boxing on his back?

They said boxing (a.k.a. The Sweet Science) is on a swift decline and is ‘dying’. What with all the attention getting somewhere else like Ultimate Fighting Championship, wrestling, and because of the absence of big names in the heavier boxing divisions?

But a saving grace comes along….and he is our very own…a future boxing Hall-of-Fame (HOF) who will join the other Filipino HOFs, Flash Elorde, Pancho Villa and Ceferino Garcia.

Here are two of the BEST video tributes I’ve seen made by one of the fans so far….

Enjoy! J

ISANG BANDILA
Rivermaya

Wag kang mabahala sa kahol ng mga aso
Ligtas ang pag-asang nakasakay sa ating mga palad at balikat
‘Wag mong patulan, ‘wag mong sakyan ang mga talangka
Panis ang angas sa respeto’t pagpapakumbaba
Walang matayog na pangarap
Sa bayang may sipag at t’yaga

Isang ugat, isang dugo
Isang pangalan, Pilipino
Isang tadhanang lalakbayin
Isang panata, isang bandila
