They are also good at trying to twist things around, but amateurish style. You see how they are trying to hide for their country idol

If you are wondering which country idol? Answer EL CABEZON Or biggest Headin the sports

richie needs more experience, just like Manny once knocked out also. Just keep on practicing and who knows one day, you will be come a true champion. Don’t cry and go over with this train hard like Pacman.

Julio Cesar Miranda also took the fight in two weeks short notice. In fact, he had less than two weeks short notice.

what the heck you talking about mepranum only having two weeks notice? it was announced that he would get a shot at the vacant title on APRIL 19, people need to stop making excuses a loss is a loss……………

That’s the problem most of our filipino handlers. Maling akala, baka makatsamba. Don’t rush our boxer to their shameful defeat. Train hard, be well prepared and wait for the right time.

There is nothing shameful in Richie’s defeat. He fought gallantly but he was simply outclassed by the Mexican. He did not take a knee in surrender like some boxers in the past. The fight was stopped by the referee. Taking the bout in two week’s notice was not an excuse either. It was a mere statement of fact. Mepranum was indeed slated for a title shot but did not come to know who is opponent and where and when he would fight until two weeks before the actual bout.
That’s water under the bridge now. Richie failed but that did not make him a lesser fighter.
I should know. I personally saw him fight several times in the past and the kid has the moves although I pointed out that he lacks the power to knockout opponents. That is one crucial element if you want to win a world title in the hometown of your opponent.
Ask Manny Pacquiao himself how he would rate Richie because it was his adviser Mike Koncz who arranged the title fight.

Edwin,
I think accepting the fight of not knowing your opponent whereabout is such stupid moved.

but suggesting that mepranum only had two weeks notice is very misleading. his opponent may not have been announced, but he had plenty of time to train and the advantage of knowing that he would be fighting for the title on that date since april while miranda was the one who received the call on short notice.

as for the actual fight, i’m not one to harshly criticize a fighter because they all deserve respect. but mepranum seemed to go down as much from exhaustion as the body shots. the final time he went down, he rose to his feet and took his time doing so. when he was up he lowered his head while walking past the ref and toward his corner giving the ref no option other to stop it.

You know what @anonymous? Manny Pacquiao took the fight vs. Lehlo Ledwaba in two weeks notice too. It was not the stupidest thing he did. Mepranum trained and did lots of road and gym work. Its the lack of sparring partners and sparring sessions that spelled the difference in his training. Also, it was too late to scout Miranda as his trainor had no idea who Richie was up too. Miranda switches stance from time to time. Richie’s exhaustion, I agree contributed to his downfall. I have always told his manager to entrust Richie to Freddie Roach for proper training and physical conditioning. Sadly, that I cannot say of Mike Koncz as match maker.

Edwin,
No two persons are alike. You can’t compare Manny Pacquiao to Richie. I believed in this kind of sport, boxer need to be well prepared by all means. Excuses are are not acceptable when that particular boxer losed. Handlers should know what they need to do to his boxer.Why Richie’s handler/s accepted the fight if he not ready? Maybe his andler/s said puede na si Richie, kayang kaya nya yan but the outcomes was the reversed. Kayang kaya ni Richie’ng ma-knockout. Eh baka nga naman maka-tsamba kaso sya ang natsambahan.

As i said it was stupid thing his handler/s did to Richie of not knowing his opponent credential like feeding Richie to the mouth of a lion. Richie’s boxing career need to be protected not by rushing him.

kapag natalo ang boxengero, lalo na sa ating mga Filipino lahat na sisi ay napunta sa trainer, handlers and promoter., pero pag nanalo ang lahat na puri ay napunta sa boxingero. Sa aking palagay ay mas malaki ang responsibilidad ng boxingero sa resulta ng laban, dahil sya lang ang nakakaalam kung handa na ba sya o kay ba nya., ang promoter at handlers ay hanggang maari ay gusto lang kumita kahit sa anong paraan, basta kumita lang. kaya wala silang pakialam kung ang boxengero ba ay handa na o kaya na ba sumabak. Ang nasa isip lang na makakuha ng kanilang porsyento. kaya dapat parahs sila na dapat sisishin… Hinay hinay lang at kung kaya lang, ang tsamba ay tsamba, ibig sabihin ay suntok sa buwan, na parang imposible mangyari..

What happened to richie was just a lesson to learn. No offense. Richie need professional handler/s, trainer/s that are sincere of helping his boxing career not who just taking advantage of him to make instant handful of dollars.
