Brian Villoria A Champion Again!

The Hawaiian Punch has done it again.

Brian Villoria dominated Mexican Julio Cesar Miranda and won the WBO flyweight championship belt.

Villoria dropped Miranda a couple of times with vicious body shots and combinations, leading to a lopsided unanimous decision. Miranda managed to open a cut over Villoria's eyebrow but the Filipino champion shrugged it off and continued pummeling the Mexican.

Azkals Vs Bahrain Highlights!

Great goal from Chieffy!

Azkals 1, Bahrain 2!

Not bad against an Olympic team.

The Azkals played competently against Bahrain's U-23 team, which is Bahrain's Olympic Team, yielding just two goals while scoring one of their own.

DLSU, Meet Kiefer Ravena!

Now that's the Kiefer Ravena we all knew.

Ravena led the Ateneo Blue Eagles to a massive first half lead by scoring 22 points in the first half, 13 of them in the first quarter alone. He was virtually unstoppable despite the best efforts of Simon Atkins and Luigi de la Paz, scoring on a variety of layups, pull ups and jumpshots.

And while he was finally silenced in the second half, his Ateneo teammates rode the crest of his offensive outburst to keep DLSU at bay 81-72.

Greg Slaughter, Ateneo's other highly touted rookie, scored 7 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.

All I can say is...Kiefer may be the nearest thing to a phenom we've seen in a long, long time.
