		<description><![CDATA[Photo: Canadian Press This is my take of the challenge round by round. Pacquiao vs Diaz Round 1 Both gave a good share of punches, Manny Pacquiao clearly showing the faster hand speed early on and just outpunches David and makes it faster to the punch. After the round, Pacquiao&#8217;s coach Freddie Roach says to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a fan of Kazushi Sakuraba because of his poker face he has when fighting. Although dangerous he has this expressionless face without much rage and likes to acknowledge the skills of his opponent even if he wins or loses a fight. Mainly a wrestler, he has fairly enough striking skills. But I found [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MMA has evolved over the years. Popularized by UFC and PrideFC. MMA is a combination of martial arts skills where fights like these were not that popular decades ago which is a combination of striking and grappling skills. I guess the initial striking fights that were popular 10 years go are only boxing and kickboxing. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was in the Philippines, many Taekwondo jins like sewing on their Dobok (Taekwondo uniform) a patch of the flag of the Philippines. Mainly not part of the Philippine pride, but had a psychological advantage knowing that the Philippine National Team was feared since they are really good. Have a Philippine Flag Patch on [...]]]></description>

And after watching this taekwondo video, it kind of pumps me up to start training again. Maybe even just a punching bag, some boxing gloves will be good enough to get started again.

Maybe some of you have seen my pictures in Friendster or elsewhere where I&#8217;m in a Taekwondo uniform wearing a blackbelt. That was right after a fight in [...]]]></description>
