Top 10 Mayweather-Pacquiao Punchlines


The so-called "Fight of the Century" is done. The result: A unanimous decision victory for Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Technically, I do agree that he won, but still I found the fight unconvincing and underwhelming. With that, here are OPC's Top 10 Mayweather-Pacquiao Punchlines:
  1. Pacquiao was rumored to wear jogging pants instead of shorts to make room for more sponsor logos. But he would still have lost. His jogging speed will still be slower than Mayweather's running.
  2. Mayweather was overheard telling Pacquiao during the match: "You are actually the better fighter, but I am the better lover. So here are some hugs!"
  3. Mayweather was again overheard telling Pacquiao during the match: "You may also be quick to punch, but I'm quicker to run!"
  4. In an interview, Mayweather said: "I was actually just copying Pacquiao's technique. He ran in congress and won. So I tried running in the ring and I won too! Effective!"  
  5. Rumor has it that Mayweather will retire in boxing so he can concentrate on his new sport: track and field!
  6. Breaking news: The referee for the Mayweather-Pacquiao match has just been suspended! He was suspended for his failure to blow his whistle and call a travelling violation against Floyd.
  7. It would have been better if the boxing referee was replaced by a traffic enforcer or a police officer. Hit and run would have gotten Mayweather arrested.
  8. Mayweather said he gave a mediocre performance because he thought it still wasn't the actual fight. He thought it was just a rehearsal; he thought it was still a dry run.
  9. Some people asked me to stop my Mayweather punchlines already. They've had enough. I responded: "PUNCH-lines? It's more like RUN-lines, right?!"
  10. But before I stop, let me give you just one more punchline I haven't thrown yet. I haven't been able to throw it yet because... I've been busy running!

When All Your Fave Teams Make It to the Final Four


There are four teams I closely keep an eye on in the NFL. They are the Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks and the Indianapolis Colts. Throughout the regular season, I cheered them on and was happy all of them made it to the playoffs.

Three of them made it to the bye and one had to go through the wildcard phase, but ultimately, all of them won their respective divisional round matches. That's great! But now I have one dilemma. They now have to face each other. Whose side will I be on?

Pebble Bytes

12:51. I’m speculating that Krissy’s watch was broken when she wrote this song. She and Ericka sing "it's twelve fifty-one" on the first chorus, but if it was exactly 12:51:00 at that time, it would already be 12:52:12 on the second chorus, but they still say "twelve fifty-one"!

One Tab. If a trusted brand calls their tablet One Tab, I'd probably buy it. It would feel like they named it after my Cebuano moniker, Juan Tabian. On second thought, since they named their device after me, maybe they should give me one for free!

Basketball. I used to play basketball when I was in elementary. I wasn’t the best but I say I was competitive enough. But then, I stopped when I was in high school. It was during this time that my playmates started to grow tall... and I did not.

My Fave Family Computer Sports Games

When I was a kid, the Nintendo Family Computer was the popular video game console. I spent hours and hours playing, and it certainly was one of the ways I enjoyed my childhood. Here were (and still are) my favorite sports games on this cartridge-based game system:

Double Dribble


I’ve been a basketball fan since I was a little child, so naturally, this became one of my must-play games. I continuously practiced until I’ve mastered shooting on the sure-shot spots, applying very good defense and winning every match against the Level III computer opponent. The only thing I wasn’t able to be very good at is my free-throw shooting.
