Manny Pacquiao Before and After Pictures...

I’m sure by now you have all watched the Pacquiao-Clottey fight. The fight was really boring but I’m not underestimating Pacquiao’s performance. It’s Clottey who was boring and omg – can’t he just let his defenses down and fight instead. He’s a BOXER for goodness sake, so he should box right? Well, I don’t blame him because once he lets his arms down Pacquiao would beat him to a pulp so if his goal was to finish the 12 rounds then what are we to do?

The fight was really boring so while watching it I had to look for other interesting stuff. I noticed that Pacquiao’s skin is getting fairer and fairer. Did you notice it too? To be sure I dug some of his old photos.

before ----------- after ------------ before

O diva! From an oily,  moreno skin his face is now fairer and smoother. The ones in the left and right were taken during his fight with Eric Morales and the one in the middle during the recent Pacquiao-Clottey fight.  Also gone is the oily hair and in place now is a well coiffed hair with every strand perfectly in place. I think even his mustache has been trimmed by a stylist. LOL! It’s hard to imagine him from the poor probinsyano boxer we saw back then the first time he was thrust into spotlight. Now a few years and a hundred of million bucks later (is that in dollars or in peso, i don’t know) he doesn’t look so bad anymore.

Nodar Kumaritashvili – Olympic Luger Killed...

Nodar Kumaritashvili, a 21 year old Luger from Georgia was training for the most important event in his life when he lost control of his sled and crashed and went over the wall of the track and then collided with steel pole.

Kumaritashvili, was training for the Vancouver Winter Olympics when his life was tragically cut short. He was thought to be going 90 mph when the awful incident happened. The track where he was practicing was one of the fastest tracks and prior to this some athletes have already expressed their concern that Luge players from other countries might find that track too daunting.

“I think they are pushing it a little too much,” Australia’s Hannah Campbell-Pegg said Thursday night after she nearly lost control in training. “To what extent are we just little lemmings that they just throw down a track and we’re crash-test dummies? I mean, this is our lives.”

I immediately had chills down my spine when I read that statement. That’s a  premonition she had there. If only they did something early on to prevent this. Twenty-one is definitely too young to die.  A video has already surfaced but it was taken down immediately. Here are some pictures of the Luger incident.
