Marsha Norman won a Pulitzer award in 1983 for her play Night Mother and he describe Dreams as an illustration from the book our souls are writing about us…

Z Gorres see all the pain and anguish his brother Jun has gone through after campaigning for a 25-3 record ended his career with a second round crushing defeat against the hands of Lovemore N’dou. Jun struggled to get back to boxing and throughout his career he never had a chance to fight for a title. He had to find a living just to feed his growing family and Z is determined not to follow his brother’s path and worked very hard to continue his brother’s dream after a knife took the life out of Jun in November 11, 2005 a month after Z won the OPBF super flyweight eliminator against Wisanu Pornobnum in front of his hometown crowd in Mandaue Cebu.
I met Z on one of his fight against Mexican Roberto Carlos Leyva I wasn’t part of the press but when my camera pointed on Z and his fellow ALA boxers they were more than willing to pose with the traditional boxer stance. I can see the fiery eyes of Z and his confidence there were no shades of doubt when he took Leyva to only seven rounds for their WBO Oriental bantamweight title. Unlike his brother Jun, Z had gone through a lot of title fights and his fight with Fernando Montiel for the WBO title was a controversy with Z clearly winning the fight but awarded the title to Montiel via a split decision win. Z was very close to his dream to be a champion but lost the fight to the hands of the judges.
That was the closest thing to winning a title and Z never got back to fight for another one when he suffered a blood clot after getting hit by Luis Melendez in the closing seconds of the fight. Z got up to the count of 10 but collapsed on his way to the dressing room.
Feb. 16 would be the day Z Gorres returns home and he will be greeted by thousands of fans not because he won a belt but because he won everyone’s heart. He got up when he was caught by a wayward punch and he fought his way back after being in a critical condition. Z would never become a champion but the dream doesn’t have to end there… Like what Marsha Norman said about dreams… maybe Z’s soul is writing a different path.

The NBA season has already reached the half of the 82 games to be played. This year will be a much intense playoff and finals battle with both conferences stepping the ante as they go to the final half of the season. There isn’t much hype or noises lately but this is what we called the calm before the storm. Expect a lot of trades and key season free agents signing because the teams are looking forward to a busier summer with three top players in the market the reigning MVP Lebron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The three would be quick to negotiate but here comes the most interesting part, after the three there are a handful of quality players also available in the market starting from Joe Johnson, Ray Allen, Shaquille O’neal, Marcus Camby, Jermaine O’neal, Rudy Gay, Amare Stoudemire, Dirk Nowitzki, David Lee, Al Harrington, Manu Ginobili and Carlos Boozer. There would be one or two who would sign back to their respective teams but there would be a big re-shuffling after this summer.
The Heat is trying to sign their franchise player Dwyane Wade back but unless they sign another key player that could make the Heat a playoff contender team, Wade will look for bigger options. Miami can persuade Chris Bosh to join Wade or Amare Stoudemire to make up their post presence to provide another option for their offense but if they would sign Wade they would be losing a bigger chunk of their salary cap which could only deal a lesser caliber player than Bosh and Stoudemire unless they could deal some good trades before this season ends but none the less they could get a Ben Wallace or a Marcus Camby who could really help them in the defensive side.
Lebron James will be the top player available in this summer’s free agency and the Cavaliers will do everything to sign him back. His team is currently on the top standings but the Knicks and the New Jersey Nets are trying to lure him with bigger contracts this summer. James is a winner and he wants a team who could really take him all the way to a championship ring and the Knicks or the Nets are right now struggling in the Eastern conference. In the end it all boils down to James decision. Morally Basketball is about loyalty and sharing the happiness to fans who supported you right from the beginning but practically it’s also about money after all basketball is business. So James would have a hard decision this summer it’s either his back to his red and blue jersey or a starring role in the Mecca of basketball in the Madison Garden.
From the three Chris Bosh is the likely player who will be playing on another team. Bosh is looking forward and not looking back with the Raptors. He is a good double-double player who could really score and rebound the ball pretty well. He has an array of moves and a good post-up forward who can also play the center position. The Raptors is a good team but they are still not a playoff contender team. They are young and inconsistent but still a very versatile team who failed to maximize their full potential. Bosh will be trying his luck on other teams who could give him the feel of a championship contending team but unless the Raptors will sign another marquee player who could give them stability Bosh will be trying his luck in free agency.
There are still 4 months before NBA will celebrate its busiest summer but the hype and anticipation is seemingly increasing by day… Hey it’s the NBA this is where amazing happens…

The Mosley-Mayweather fight has already been sealed and delivered. Mayweather finally signed the contract and will now trade blows with the most dangerous opponent he ever face on his career. The two welterweights have been constantly matched for the past decade. Shane have already fought the strongest competition on the Welterweight division he move up to the light middleweight looking to find willing dancing partners he lost to Winky Wright twice but won two against Fernando Vargas and one against De La Hoya. When Shane Mosley was asking for a ring date with Mayweather, Floyd seems to find the right button to pushed evading Mosley with untimely retirement and silly excuses. Floyd is best known for his defense and cerebral exchanges he also known for ducking legitimate opponents that could ruin his immaculate record. He was offered $8 Million to fight Margarito but he dumped him favoring a fight with Carlos Baldomir like dumping a Rolls Royce for a Corolla. The bad blood has been going on with Mosley chasing Mayweather for years. He even went to the ring after a fresh victory against a bloated light weight Juan Manual Marquez and said to Floyd when will you fight me?
Before Manny Pacquiao is added on the equation Mosley-Mayweather fight is the biggest fight that has to be made. Years before we would laugh when Manny Pacquiao is being matched up with Floyd Mayweather Jr. or even Shane Mosley it was simply a mismatch with a 130 pounder fighting at 147 pounds. But with victories against De La Hoya, Hatton and Miguel Cotto Manny is making noises in that division that it’s hard to ignore. After failed negotiations with Mayweather, Manny will face Clottey and after days of dead air Floyd has finally signed the contract to fight Mosley. If Floyd really wants to fight Shane then why does it took him time to sign the paper? The same thought about Manny when he demanded a random blood testing. If he was really sincere about his intentions then why didn’t he demanded it the first time they were negotiating?
They say Floyd has been running in the later part of his career but this time he is facing a brick wall and had no other choice but to face the music. Shane Mosley had just cornered Floyd the chase is over. He can talk trash whatever he wants or demand a random blood testing up to the day of the fight but I know he is wary of Mosley’s wrath. After all you know what happens when an angry man has caught up to you right? Especially chasing you for almost a decade.

If there is any good that came out from the failed negotiations between Pacquiao and Mayweather then this is it the Mayweather-Mosley fight in May 1. This is nowhere comparison to the $25 million pay out with Pacquiao but still it’s a fight to look forward to. And Manny Pacquiao unknowingly put Floyd into a corner which his bases are all covered and had nowhere to go but to face Mosley. The moment the negotiations went sour team Pacquiao didn’t waste any time and look for the stiffest welterweight fighter available and that happens to be Joshua Clottey. Mosley at that time was scheduled to fight Andre Berto in Jan.30 and it didn’t take a day or a week to make the fight Clottey and Pacquiao was a done deal in just 15 minutes. And that put pressure in Floyd Mayweather Jr. the boxing fans will not forgive him if he fights an undersized fighter and feather puncher Paulie Malignaggi or a class way below him in Matthew Hatton. He must fight a legitimate fighter who doesn’t look like a sparring partner or a bloated light weight who looks like a punching bag. There are only two acceptable fights for Floyd it’s either he fights Paul Williams or Shane Mosley. Andre Berto had to withdraw his fight with Mosley because of the earthquake that happened on his home country Haiti and so that clears the path for a Mosley and Mayweather face off. Floyd knowing Mosley’s history also demanded a stringent of random urine and blood testing and thought Shane would back off but when Shane welcomes the blood testing with open arms it puts Floyd back on the same corner. Mosley has already signed the contract with Floyd demanding on an immediate rematch. If you are a self proclaimed great in boxing why would you put a contract clause of a rematch? It’s the same as the failed Pacquiao fight and now Mosley. Floyd has doubts of winning.

The fight is not yet a done deal with Floyd still not signing the contract. But he will soon sign it because with the looming litigation cases and IRS taxes he is forced to face a legit Welterweight that he has been avoiding for the past decade. Thanks to Pacquiao, Mayweather has no other choice but to face Mosley.

Deron Williams played together with an all NBA selection with Kobe Bryant and Lebron James in the Olympics, he was also named All-NBA second team in 2008 and NBA All-rookie first team in his rookie year in 2006 the new face of the Utah Jazz franchise but for the past 3 years he never made it to the All-Stars. In their draft there are only two who emerge roses among the talented thorns one is Deron and the other who was drafted after him the number four draft pick Chris Paul. Unlike Deron, Paul played three All-star selections from 2008 to 2010 he also went on to grab the rookie of the year award and has played together with Williams on the Olympic team. They are the perfect parody for the saying “the first would be the last and the last would be the first”… unfortunately Deron got the bottom end of the stick.
Following the John Stockton and Karl Malone era, Deron didn’t waste time in replacing the vacuum left by Stockton. He is a smart player who has a quick jump step and passes the ball very well a good perimeter shooter and deceivingly high leaper in fast breaks. Deron have a double-double average in points and assists. It was puzzling to know the times he was ignored in the All-stars after leading his team to consecutive playoffs even having 20-assists on two occasions in the 07-08 season.
The NBA All-star selections normally have three point guards in their line-up 2007 have Allen Iverson, Steve Nash and Tony Parker. The 2008 selection bannered Iverson, Steve Nash and Chris Paul, 2009 have Chris Paul, Tony Parker and Chauncy Billups. Deron for his part will struggle to find his spot in those years even in 2009 when Parker had a good year and Billups had a magical turnaround with the Nuggets.
But i do believe Deron in every word is an exception.
Dallas is a special place for Deron having played basketball in a city in Denton County, Texas called the Colony wherein he lead his high school team to a 32-2 record and what a perfect time to see Deron’s first All-star appearance on a town who first notice his basketball talent. Those 20 assists and double-double performance will always be notice it’s like applying a job with a very impressive resume that you meticulously built in through experienced and your employer will have no other choice but to say yes. Deron rightfully in any other way deserve to be an All-star and he has the right to be rubbing elbows against Chris Paul and Steve Nash as the West point guards…It took him three years to be on this spot and it was all worth it because he earned every inch to be called an All-star.

He was born on the same year a legend was drafted on the NBA the legend revolutionized basketball and was heralded as the greatest player ever… Michael Jordan. On that same year Magic Johnson led the Lakers into the NBA finals as they squared off again with the Celtics winning the championship series in six games. The stars were all aligned on that night and Lebron James was born on the same year two of the greatest legends emerged. He was just destined for greatness, and 25 years later King James has found his throne.
The athleticism of a young Michael Jordan and the wizardry of Magic Johnson combine into a triple double threat establishing 29.9 points per game with 7.8 assists and 7.2 rebounds the six-foot-eight Lebron can play different positions and established himself as one of the greatest player of today. Before going Pro, Lebron was hype up since he was in highschool having a lot of media attention from ESPN and other sports media. NBA players including Michael Jordan go all the way to a small town in Akron Ohio to watch James play. It was the same excitement that happened 4 to 5 decades ago to a young man named Lew Alcindor taking his team to a 79-2 overall record. Alcindor eventually got converted and is known up to this day as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. I came to understand more about Lebron on his documentary movie “More than a game”. He made basketball as his sanctuary and look up to his best friends as his family. The moment he learns to stand up and walk on his own Lebron is already holding a ball and dunking a make shift rim while he was still two years old. His mother who became pregnant at a young age of 16 had to work hard to survive and that made James competitive nature having to survive and having to go through difficulty of life at a young age.
I remember when I was still young and had fear of dogs. Our neighbor would always say he won’t bite but the moment I touch the dog I ended up in the hospital. Lebron is destined for greatness and unknowingly he is headed to become one of the most exciting players of our generation. You can question the way he handled losing opting not to shake hands with Dwight Howard on their eastern conference finals or you can question his fickle mindedness when he says he will compete for the slamdunk competition next year but you can never question greatness… It’s just like saying dogs don’t bite.

I bumped into a very well filmed documentary about the great Muhammad Ali. It featured fighters who faced Ali and their experienced against the greatest fighter of all time. Even from the time he fought Henry Cooper wherein he was knocked down in the 4th round but escaped a TKO win, Ali would brag that he is the greatest of all time even calling himself a God. There would be verbal wars and sometimes it goes way beyond the usual by calling his opponent Gorilla or Uncle Tom. The documentary featured Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Leon Spinks, Larry Holmes and George Foreman each and everyone has a story to tell on their encounters with Ali.
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee… if you are an Ali fan then this is a must see documentary of course I would love to share this with you… download links available below. Enjoy!

These questions has been going around my mind for quite some time if someone is attempting a murder but was spoiled right before going through the whole process of killing someone would he be convicted as a frustrated murderer? Or if someone wants to steal something but was intercepted right before he steps through the yard of his would-be victim would he be convicted as a burglar? The answer would probably a yes or a no but it all depends on one solely justification the word evidence…
Boxing has been through a lot of controversies and as a contact sport putting something to your body like PEDS or steroids and illegal hand wraps to gain advantage could really be damaging it could permanently disabled your opponent or even death. I remember the documentary “Assault in the ring” which featured the ill-fated bout between Billy Collins Jr. and Luis Resto and can be downloaded at this link. Luis Resto connived with Panama Lewis and almost killed Billy Collins Jr. as they place plaster of Paris on Resto’s hands it was like adding a block of cement around his hands and one punch can be really deadly. The story ended with Resto unemployed, Billy Collins Jr. died on a freak car accident then Panama Lewis continues to spread his malice and mischief in boxing till now.
Antonio Margarito who has been banned for a year after placing illegal handwrap against his fight with Shane Mosley will be applying a license in Texas to fight on Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey’s undercard. Yes he has a year to think about his wrong doings but what seems wrong about this picture was that what if Naseem Richardson, Shane’s coach never found Margarito’s illegally wrap hands? What will happen to Shane? Would he also take a knee like Cotto? And at age 38 will his body can still carry that punishment? We never know how long Margarito was using those loaded hands but it’s certainly not the first time he has been using those plasters. It’s guys like Margarito that stained boxing and he should be banned for life for using those. I know I am a bit harsh towards Margarito but there are also implications for cheating. He could have known the consequences or what if he was on the other shoe? A single punch with or without plaster of Paris can already damage a number of brain cells. He is not concern about winning he is more concern about hurting his opponents more and goons like that should not be allowed to lace a boxing gloves.
There was evidence, and he was convicted but he is treated like he was innocent. Once again boxing had another blow
