Nonito Donaire captures WBA Featherweight belt

AFP 

Nonito Donaire captures the WBA featherweight title with a unanimous  technical decision over Simpiwe Vetyeka on Saturday in Macau.

He thanked the fans over at the venue who supported him and said sorry for not giving "a proper fight".

Donaire bucked on a cut on his left eye and fought like a wounded tiger to finish the fight in four rounds winning the cards 49-46.

The champion was not pleased with how the match turned out and is willing to give Vityeka the rematch.

Donaire climbs up to 33-2 with 21 knockouts and has bounced back after his loss with Guillermo Rigondeaux in April 2013.  He was able to knock out Vic Darchinyan in November 2013.

No beauty pageants for Pia Wurtzbach, for now

Pia Wurtzbach (right) as she claps after Miss Universe Philippines Mary Jean Lastimosa was proclaimed the top winner
Pia Wurtzbach does not see herself fighting for another crown in the near future. In an ABS-CBN report, Wurtzbach admits she does not want to wait for the title for three years, She wants to cultivate her strengths being with Mercator (by her handler Jonas Gaffud) and Blue Water.

The 2013 1st Runner Up gave up her title to join Bb. Pilipinas 2014 to see if a crown was really meant for her as she was already on the Top 5 last year behind Ariella Arida, Bea Rose Santiago, Cindy Miranda and Mutya Datul but the former Star Magic Star has no regrets on trying again, even her Top 15 Q and A answer where she had to answer in Tagalog to which some netizens believed cause her the crown.

Only time will tell if Wurtzbach will come back next year, for now we'll see her actively as a model.

Lance Reymundo 

Singer-actor Lance Raymundo who was involved 2 months ago in a freak gym accident where an 80 pound barbel destroyed his nose and middle face can only be thankful that his face has already been restored. 

In a previous interview, the singer's mother, Nina Zaldua-Raymundo mentioned that her son had multiple facial bone fractures as his nose and middle face was totally crashed by the barbell.

Latest Images from the upcoming Batman vs. Superman movie


I thought when they are going to remake Gotham's Dark Knight they would make it less serious and make it more look like an actual cartoon Batman. I was wrong.


Zack Snyder, the director of  "Batman vs. Superman" movie on May 2016 just tweeted some images of the upcoming DC flick. After seeing the image I was like it's okay because I thought it will be a total reboot of Batman since Christian Bale's version of the Gotham's Dark Knight  was more of a darker and more serious caped crusader. But nevertheless it is still cool watching how will Batman fight Superman (with a little help of a Kryptonite I guess lol) Check out the images:

Photo from ABS-CBN

Whether or not he becomes a part of the coaching staff of KIA, Manny Pacquiao cannot play for the team unless he joins the PBA Draft.

PBA Media Bureau Chief Willie Marcial said on the league's official website that Pacquiao can only play for KIA directly if the PBA Board of Governors allows the 3 new teams, KIA, NLEX and Blackwater for concessions, which they ruled otherwise when they approved the entry of the teams next season.

If KIA wants Pacquiao to suit up for them, they can use their pick from the  11th to 16th draft picks in the upcoming draft to get him as a player.

Valerie Weignmann, Catriona Gray or Pia Wurtzbach: Miss World Philippines bound?


Photo Credits: Sash Factor

With the recent success of the sole Aces and Queens bet Megan Young last year, there is no doubt that A&Q wants to continue the winning tradition at the next Miss World Philippines 2014. Clearly in my mind, the following ladies on photo (credit to Sash Factor) would make a good MWP court this year. 

Valerie Weignmann is on temporary leave from hosting at Eat Bulaga, Cassandra Naidas, Pia Wurtzbach and Kimverlyn Suiza are all free from pageant obligations and Catriona Gray, has been rumored to join as early as last year but has not submitted her application. 

From our sources, Valerie Weignmann may be Aces and Queens top bet for Miss World Philippines 2014.
