By Ponciano “John” Melo Jr.

Two important dates are on Manny Pacquiao’s calendar this July.
Coming first of course, is his bout with undefeated Keith Thurman Jr. at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on July 20 (21 Manila time).
The second, is President Duterte’s State of the Nation Address the very next day on the 22nd.
With the uncertainty and the delays of a commercial flight, Manny’s camp says they have leased, a G8, similar to what Floyd Mayweather has. The plane, which reaches a top speed similar to that of the speed of sound, will bring Manny back in Manila Monday afternoon, a couple of hours before the SONA in the afternoon.
This, if Pacquiao doesn’t stay for too long in Las Vegas.
That’s why Pacquiao will go straight to the runway and charter a private jet right after his fight just to catch the President’s pronouncements on the state of the Philippines.
Those close to Manny says that they have already booked the direct flight so that Pacquiao can join the proceedings in Congress in the afternoon of July 22, Manila time.
This is less than 24 hours after his 12-rounder, less if by any circumstance a stoppage is done, with Thurman.
Manny, being a Philippine Senator and PDP-Laban (the President’s party) campaign manager, Pacquiao has no choice but to fly straight away back to the country on the account of his important policital affiliation.
But knowing the eight-division world champion, he won’t be one to complain. Though does this indicate that he’ll make easy pickings out of Thurman?
Let’s just see a couple of days from now if that will be the case.

Tyson Fury's Dad sets constraints on the AJ-Fury rematch

The “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury (33-0-1) is set to rematch with two-time former unified world heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua (26-3-0) next year but Fury’s dad pushes Joshua vs Wilder first.

Deontay Wilder, “The Bronze Bomber” (43-2-1), former WBC heavyweight champ, is the first American world heavyweight champ since 2007. He defended his title for 10 times.

But, Wilder lost to Fury twice after their trilogy last October 9, 2021 in an eleventh round KO.

John Fury blurted to The Daily Mail that many boxers are ducking Wilder because they are afraid of him. He added that only his son defeated Wilder twice yet he praised the latter’s power.

As of this writing, the said rematch is still unclear however, DAZN reported last September 23, 2023 that promoter Eddie Hearns got an venue offer to stage the fight next year.

Pacquiao's alleged illegitimate son Eman Bacosa goes pro.

The 19 year old Emmanuel Joseph Bacosa, who is allegedly the son of Manny Pacquiao, fought Jommel Cudiamat in the “Blow by Blow” undercard event last September 23, 2023.

Cudiamat vs Bacosa resulted in a split draw however, as of today, boxing fans are getting hype with Eman’s physique as it resembles teenager Pacman.

Fans are comparing Eman to the legitimate sons of Manny who are having a comfortable life. They are expecting Jimuel Pacquiao “legit son” Pacquiao vs Eman “bastard son”.

Pacquaio promoted “blow by blow” which is coincidentally the start of his illegitimate son’s professional career.

MP Promotions produced Blow by Blow, a weekly sports television boxing program airing on One Sports channel.

As of this writing, Eman’s photos beside Pacquaio are spreading online.

Joanna Rose Bacosa is reportedly the mother of Eman.

Crawford no match to Canelo at 168 – GGG coach

Gennady Golovkin (GGG) former coach Abel Sanchez presumes that Terrence Crawford is no match to Mexican pound for pound king Canelo Alvarez at 168 lbs.

In an interview by Fight Hub TV last October 9, 2023, GGG coach said that Canelo vs Crawford is laughable.

Sanchez is a Mexican-American trainer and coach of Gennady Golovkin who is the real rival of Canelo.

Undefeated and undisputed welterweight champion Crawford (40 – 0) has defeated his rival Errol Spence jr. last July 29, 2023 but still not enough to win vs Canelo.

It can be recalled that both Crawford and Spence Jr. have been craving to fight the Mexican superstar but to no avail.

When asked if Crawford can win vs Canelo, Sanchez said: “He [Crawford] gets beat. So, in my opinion, that’s not a good fight.”
