Did you REALLY report that?

That said absolutely nothing wrong or anything..

NOBODY is checking out this thread. Even people who are asian aren't looking at this.. if anything, I should report this off-topic thread.

If you want a 'headcount', then make a poll in the poll sub-section and ask how many people are Asian?

But don't let me get warning points for a post that had nothing wrong with it.

Mr. Duff

I think this is a great thread for Asians. There's a thread for K-Pop / J-Pop songs where Japanese, Koreans, and people who love those kind of songs can have a discussion.

This thread should serve as a discussion for Asian music, Asian culture, and other Asian-related topics. I think it could work!

And hello, Mr. Yoso! So you're from the Philippines too? WOW!

ARLINGTON, Texas – Manny Pacquiao more than made up with speed what he lacked in size.

Giving away both pounds and inches, boxing's little superstar turned Antonio Margarito into a bloody and nearly blind fighter with a dizzying array of punches Saturday night in a lopsided decision victory that wasn't close from the opening rounds on.

In a spectacular performance before a delighted crowd of 41,734 at Cowboys Stadium, Pacquiao cemented his claim to being the best fighter in the world by dominating the bigger but slower Margarito almost from the opening bell. Pacquiao won round after round, opening a cut on Margarito's cheek, closing his right eye, and turning his face into a bloody mess.

The punches came quickly, and they came often. Margarito was plenty game as he tried to stalk Pacquiao around the ring, but every time he got close Pacquiao would land a four- or five-punch combination that snapped his head back and stopped him in his tracks.

The beating was so thorough that the congressman from the Philippines turned to referee Laurence Cole several times in the 11th round, imploring him to stop the fight. It went on, though, even though Margarito had no chance to win.

"I can't believe that I beat someone this big and this strong," Pacquiao said. "It's hard. I really do my best to win the fight."

Pacquiao moved up in weight yet again to take on Margarito, a natural welterweight with a reputation for ruggedness in the ring. And rugged he was, though he took a beating all night long at the hands of a faster and seemingly more powerful opponent.

"There was no way I was gong to quit. I'm a Mexican, we fight until the end," Margarito said.

Pacquiao won every round on one scorecard, 120-108, and was ahead 119-109 and 118-110 on the other two. The Associated Press had it a 120-108 shutout.

"We didn't lose a round," said Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach. "I wish they would have stopped the fight."

That almost happened, but Cole allowed it to go on even as Margarito kept taking such a beating that he went directly to a hospital afterward for treatment of his cuts. There wasn't any way Margarito was going to win the fight, but he could still see out of one eye and wanted to continue.

"I told the referee, `Look at his eyes, look at his cuts,'" Pacquiao said. "I did not want to damage him permanently. That's not what boxing is about."

Ringside punch stats reflected Pacquiao's dominance, showing him landing 474 punches to 229 for Margarito. But it wasn't just the sheer volume of punches, but the power in which they came at almost every angle.

Roach predicted before the fight that Pacquiao would carve Margarito apart because he was simply much too quick for his opponent. He did just that, starting from the first round when he landed an early flurry up the middle that seemed to set the tone for the fight.

It wasn't entirely easy, though. Pacquiao said Margarito hurt him in the middle rounds with shots to the head and the body, though he was unable to land more than one of two punches at a time. When he did manage to land, more often than not Pacquiao was there to fire right back with volleys of his own that found their mark almost every time.

"Manny is the best fighter in the world," said Margarito's trainer, Robert Garcia. "He is just too fast — very, very quick."

While there was no controversy in the ring, there was a dispute in the dressing room before the fight when a member of Pacquiao's camp saw a weight-loss supplement in Margarito's gear and demanded his blood be tested immediately for possible banned substances. Texas boxing officials ruled that would not be necessary, and the fight went on.

Roach also made sure he was in the dressing room to watch the hands of Margarito, who is still banned in California for a hand wrapping scandal, get wrapped. But it was Margarito's corner who demanded Roach also rewrap his fighter's hands in a display of gamemanship.

Once the fight started it didn't matter. Pacquiao landed some big left hands early, cutting Margarito beneath the right eye and causing it to swell. By the middle of the fight he couldn't see out of that eye and his left eye began closing, too.

The fight was for the WBC 154-pound title even though the contract weight was 150 pounds. Margarito weighed 150 at Friday's weigh-in, but was 165 on the unofficial HBO scale before the fight while Pacquiao, who had been 144.6, was 148 pounds.

Pacquiao also gave away 4 1/2 inches in height and was at a six-inch reach disadvantage, but that didn't matter either.

Pacquiao earned a guaranteed $15 million, though he is likely to make millions more on his cut of the television revenues. He planned to give a concert at Lake Tahoe on Tuesday and then return to his political duties in the Philippines.

"I have another job after this," Pacquiao said. "I'm going back to the Philippines to do my other job and be a public servant."

How am I ****ing trolling?
I didn't do anything but come here and post comments..
I can spend 30 seconds to post something in here, big woop?
Doesn't mean I care about this thread.

Only person interested so far is Mr. Duff..

If asians can get a thread, then what about the other continents?

This is a very lame, off-topic thread that doesn't need to be needed, and if it does stay.. then it's most likely going to be going down to the bottom of the list soon enough.

Swaggie

Nice.

Remeese needs to shut up.

Remmy

No, I don't need to shut up.
Even Rigel agrees.
Someone else reported the thread too, I already reported something else today.

This does not be a thread, it's a good idea.. but it's ignorant and off-topic, expecially due to how no other country gets a thread but then Asia does..
I'm not doing anything but giving my opinion.

Itsuky

Manny Pacquiao beats Antonio Margarito to win WBC title

Pacquiao (right) won every round against Margarito in Dallas

Manny Pacquiao cemented his claim of being the best boxer in the world as he dominated Antonio Margarito to win the WBC light-middleweight title.

The 31-year-old Filipino won every round in an unanimous points victory as his Mexican opponent ended the contest in a bloodied mess in Dallas.

Pacquiao, also a congressman, implored referee Laurence Cole to stop the fight a number of times in the 11th round.

But it went on and Pacquiao secured an eighth belt in an eighth weight class.

One judge scored the fight 120-109 while the other two had it 119-109 and 118-110.

Pacquiao, who had moved up in weight yet again to take on natural welterweight Margarito, said: "I can't believe that I beat someone this big and this strong.

"I told the referee, 'Look at his eyes, look at his cuts'. I did not want to damage him permanently. That's not what boxing is about."

Ringside punch statistics reflected Pacquiao's dominance, showing him landing 474 punches to 229 for Margarito. But it was not just the sheer volume of punches, but the power in which they came at almost every angle.

Pacquiao won round after round, opening a cut on Margarito's cheek and closing his right eye. The punches came quickly, and they came often - four or five-punch combinations that snapped Margarito's head back and stopped him in his tracks.

"We didn't lose a round," said Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach. "I wish they would have stopped the fight."

Although Margarito took a beating all night long at the hands of a faster and seemingly more powerful opponent, he insisted afterwards that quitting was never in his mind.

"There was no way I was going to quit. I'm a Mexican, we fight until the end," he said.

And despite his dominance, Pacquiao revealed that he was hurt by Margarito in the middle rounds after taking shots shots to the head and the body.

However, Pacquiao was still able to fire right back with punches of his own that found their mark almost every time.

"Manny is the best fighter in the world," said Margarito's trainer, Robert Garcia. "He is just too fast - very, very quick."

Even Margarito's trainer knows who the real king is!!

Far East Movement Tops Hot 100 with 'Like a G6'

Quote:

Los Angeles-based quartet Far*East Movement is set to move to the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 with its debut single "Like a G6" (2-1) when the chart is released tomorrow (Oct. 21). The act knocks out fellow newbie Bruno Mars, who falls to No. 2 after four weeks at No. 1 with his premiere single as a lead act, "Just the Way You Are."

Among multi-member acts, Far*East Movement is the first to take its initial chart appearance to No. 1 on the Hot 100 since D4L hit the top with "Laffy Taffy" in January 2006. Though "G6" is pushed down to No. 2 on Digital Songs by Taylor Swift's new arrival "Back to December," it shifts 223,000 (up 1%), according to Nielsen SoundScan, for its best single-week sum to date.

Cali's Far East Movement Rockets Up Hot 100

A week after opening at No. 2 on Digital Songs and No. 8 on the Hot 100 with "Speak Now," Swift claims her third chart-topper on the former list- all occurring this year- as "Back to December" debuts with 242,000 downloads. "December" starts as the Hot Shot Debut at No. 6 on the Hot 100, extending Swift's record for most top 10 debuts in the history of the chart to seven.

Her latest track is the third pre-release single from "Speak Now," which drops on Monday, Oct. 25. One more title, "Mean," was issued on Oct. 19, so expect another high Swift debut next week. Swift had previously topped Digital Songs with "Today Was a Fairytale" in February and "Mine" in August. She has yet to top the Hot 100, however, having peaked at No. 2 with "You Belong with Me" and "Today Was a Fairytale."
