Tomorrow is the much awaited fight from Juan Manuel Lopez &
Gerry Penalosa. Juan Manuel Lopez is the rising star of boxing’s
Super Bantamweight Division while Gerry Penalosa is the veteran
who once again looks to fight the hands of time.
I’m routing for Penalosa, the underdog. Just can’t forget about
what happened to Johnny Gonzales when he got hit with a
vicious Penalosa body punch.
Philadelphia is Serious with Their Playoff Run
Orlando Magic entered the playoffs as the 3rd seed of the Eastern Conference
and they face a hungry team in Philadelphia 76ers as the 6th seed. 76ers won
the 1st game in Orlando in a shocking fashion. Game 2 was statement game for
the Magic as they won by 9 points, with a great game from Courtney Lee.
Hours ago was Game 3 at Philadelphia. The 76ers once again came up with a
bang as they defeated the Magic. The game was tied with 6.9 seconds in
regulation as the 76ers were to inbound the ball. With Miller to inbound the
ball passed it to 2nd year Thaddeus Young on the baseline made his drive to
the basket taking it to Howard and making the basket for a 2 point lead.
Orlando have no timeouts left as they inbound the ball to Lewis for a
desperation heave from beyond the half-court line which was high of the
glass. The final score was 94-96.
The 76ers enjoy a 2-1 series lead over Orlando with Game 4 to be
played in Philadelphia.
