Glenn Porras, a southpaw from Barangay Luz Village, M’lang, North Cotabato who is a product of the grassroots boxing program “Paboksing Para sa Masa” which I started when I was Governor, is taking on a Mexican opponent in a very important fight in the US on Dec. 7.
This fight against Jose Nieves could open the door to the world championship for this shy boy from North Cotabato whom we call “The Rock” because of his durability inside the ring.
I sent him to the US last year and he is now being trained by Nonito Donaire Sr. American boxing manager Vinny Scolpino and I are co-managing Glenn.
Let’s all pray for Glenn’s success. http://philboxing.com/news/story-77665.html

The Scores in the First 3 Pacquiao-Marquez Encounters
Manny Pacquiao holds a record of 2 wins and 1 draw in his famous trilogy with Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez.
The reason why promoter Bob Arum is staging the fourth match up is because the results of the first 3 fights were questioned by both boxers.
Manny felt he should have won the first one while Juanma believes he was cheated in the last 2.
