NAPURNADA si Cebu-based Ilonggo boxer Rev Santillan ng RWS stable na maidepensa ang kanyang Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation (OPBF) welterweight title nang talunin sa split decision ni undefeated Japanese challenger Hiroshi Yamaguchi sa Korakuen Hall sa Tokyo, Japan kamakailan.
Dikit ang laban kung saan pinaboran si Yamaguchi ng dalawang judges—Anek Hongtongkam ng Thailand, 114-113; Ukrid Sarasas ng Japan, 115-113; at kinatigan naman ng Pinoy judges na si Alex Vidal ang kababayan si Santillan sa 115-112.
Nakaiskor lamang ang Japanese sa mga huling round upang mapaganda ang record sa malinis na 16 wins na may 11 knockout at isang tabla. Pumangit ang kartada ni Santillan sa 22-3-1 win-loss-draw record. (Abraham Catiis).
02.Ensayo sa Baguio
MAGSISILBING training gym ni Manny Pacquiao ang training facilities ng Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines (ABAP) sa Baguio City bilang paghahanda sa laban kay Oscar Larios sa Hulyo 2 sa Araneta Coliseum.
Ikinatuwa ni ABAP president Manny Lopez at ng mga Pinoy amateur fighters ang nakatakdang pag-eensayo doon ni Pacquiao dahil makikita nila kung paano ito hahasain ni American trainer Freddie Roach.
Mage-ensayo sa Baguio si Pacquiao nang anim na araw sa loob ng isang linggo sa buwan ng Hunyo matapos ang mahigpit ding pagsasanay sa Wild Card gym ni Roach sa Los Angeles sa buwan ng Mayo.
Hahasain naman si Larios sa Japan pero inaasahang dadayo siya sa Maynila sa buwan ng Mayo upang mai-promote ang laban bago bumalik sa Mexico. (Rainier Baldoz)
03.Suico sisingit
TATANGKAIN ni World Boxing Council (WBC) No.10 ranked at ex-OPBF champ Randy Suico (24-2, 21 Kos) na makopo ang bakanteng OPBF 135-pound title kontra kay Pongpetch Chuwatana ng Thailand sa kampeonatong gaganapin sa Cebu City sa Mayo 27.
Iniwanan ang naturang titulo ni OPBF lightweight champion Chikashi Inada na nakatakdang sagupain naman si Sirimongkol Singmanassak Singwangcha sa Mayo 20 sa Los Angeles.
Sakaling manalo si Suico, magiging tiket niya ito upang mapabilang sa supporting bout ng Pacquiao- Larios match sa Hulyo 2 kung saan mabibigyan siya ng international exposures. ( John Krisna Sigalat)
04.Takot sa kidnap
IKINATUWA ni BIR chief Jose Mario Bunag sa pagkukusa ni Manny Pacquiao na magbayad nang maayos ng kanyang mga buwis mula sa multi-milyong kinita sa ibang bansa.
Tumanggi ang BIR na ibunyag kung gaano kalaki ang ibinayad ni Pacman sa pamamagitan ng kanyang abogado na si Franklin Gacal.
Nilinaw ni Bunag na isinama na ni Pacman sa pagbabayad ang mga buwis na hindi nabayaran sa mga kinita niya noong 2004.
Inamin ni Pacquiao na hindi niya mailalantad ang halaga ng kanyang kinita sa publiko upang hindi maging biktima ng kidnapping. ( Benjo Orbe)

PACMAN in Recah

LAST-MINUTE calls were unnecessary. The grand media affair at the Manila Hotel last Friday was already a sellout even before organizers could announce it.
Unlike with his beloved President, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, there's no need anymore to sell Manny Pacquiao.
The fellow has become more famous and necessary than Her Excellency.
So did Eric Pineda, top man at Manny Pacquiao Promotions, and lovely wife Macy, have to worry about attendance?
The problem here is no longer Pacquiao, the main merchandise in the July 2 boxing blockbuster at the Araneta Coliseum which Pacman has himself agreed to promote.
It's the quality of opposition. Oscar Larios, who agreed to slug it out with Pacquiao only after being offered $450,000, happens to be a certified loser.
He was last beaten by Israel Vasquez, a favorite sparmate of Pacquiao's at Wild Card, for the WBC and IBF superbantam titles.
* * *
In order to sell Larios, Pacquiao handlers, including trainer Freddie Roach and manager Shelly Finkel, had to pay Lito Atienza's Manila a quickie visit over the weekend on an urgent mission.
An alteration of existing fight facts had to be executed.
They teamed up, somewhat frantically, to picture Larios as a certified winner, every pound, every inch fit to do battle with the very famous Pacman.
Finkel, his glossy pate glowing under the flash of cameras, said something like Larios was always capable of throwing the most number of punches in a single round.
Roach followed up with a warning. He mumbled, rather stammered, that Pacquiao can't afford to be less fit and ready than he was against Erik Morales last January.
* * *
They did not say it. But there was also the quiet effort to tell everybody Pacquiao should brace for a possible defeat (against Larios).
Then, joining the team of worriers, broadcast impresario Peter Musngi bared that his outfit, ABS-CBN, would bring in Larios for a sales tour here sometime late next month.
Finkel, Roach, and Pacman himself. No prizefight sales team could be more awesome.
But Larios himself had to join in. The crafty, five-foot-eight Mexicano ring craftsman would be here to demonstrate that he, who had reigned long as world 122-lbs king, is no recycled old meat.
We will never know what they would do next until Larios has hit town.
Maybe they would hire Pacquiao's barber to spar with the Mexicano in public?
* * *
Here's one Ali-inspired tip. To push the effort a notch higher, they could script a Pacquiao knockdown while the national boxing icon spars in public.
Actually, Pacman did suffer a stoppage, a rude one, when he was recently rushed and confined at the Cardinal Santos Hospital, suffering from fatigue.
Told that he has visibly put on weight, a pudgy Pacquiao clarified that it was all a result of the confinement.
"Ito, tabang dextrose ito," he quipped from the presidential table during the Elorde Memorial Awards at Dusit Hotel Friday night.
* * *
If there's a guy who's genuinely worried, it's not anyone among Pacquiao's handlers.
It's the super warrior himself.
Here's why: Pacquiao would not be caught showing up in a recycled ukay-ukay suit for his July 2 daytime show at the Big Dome.
His poor countrymen may have been made to patronize hand-me-downs under this regime, but Pacquiao wanted to give that pitiful existence a lovely twist.
Yes, Pacquiao assured, the fight would be a dream come true, a first-class gift to his countless admirers here who had all clamored to watch him do battle -- live.
Anyway, despite the deafening sales pitch, only one thing has so far been assured. Pacquiao won't be caught coming in half-ready, as he did when he ran out of gas in his last hometown fight against Fahsan 3-K Battery at The Fort in Taguig.
They are setting up two preparation camps, first in Hollywood, later in Baguio.
Not enough. Larios had to be peddled as extremely dangerous.
So here's Shelly Finkel for a final pitch: "Larios lost to Vasquez because he got fagged out fighting at 122 lbs against Vasquez. He was a scarecrow. Not anymore. Larios would be a really dangerous, very competitive foe for Manny at 130, his perfect fighting weight."
Larios, you bet, will be sweet, juicy recycled steak.

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - The use of mobile phones over a long period of time can raise the risk for brain tumors, a new Swedish study said on Friday, contradicting the conclusions of other researchers.
The Dutch Health Council, in an overview of research from around the world, last year found no evidence radiation from mobile phones and TV towers was harmful. A four-year British survey released in January showed no link between regular, long-term use of cell phones and the most common type of tumor.
However, researchers at the Swedish National Institute for Working Life said they looked at the mobile phone use of 905 people between the age of 20 and 80 who had been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor and found a link.
"A total 85 of these 905 cases were so-called high users of mobile phones, that is they began early to use mobile and, or wireless telephones and used them a lot," the study said.
"The study also shows that the rise in risk is noticeable for tumors on the side of the head where the phone was said to be used," it added.
Kjell Mild, who led the study, said the figures meant that heavy users of mobile phones, for instance of who make mobile phone calls for 2,000 hours or more in their life, had a 240 percent increased risk for a malignant tumor on the side of the head the phone is used.
"The way to get the risk down is to use handsfree," he told Reuters.
He said his study was the biggest yet to look at long-term users of the wireless phone, which has been around in Sweden in a portable form since 1984, longer than in many other countries.
