Lambo Rock!

The Limited Edition Lamborghini Reventon with just 20 cars built, it will be a frantic race for the filthy rich to get hold of this really beautiful toy for the Big Boys.



And race they did for all the 20 cars have already been sold right off the assembly line. One lucky Detroiter is the proud owner of this Italian Devil as reported by Local 4, an NBC affiliate in Michigan today.



First unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show in Germany this year, Lamborghini has upped the ante against rival Ferrari with its Supercar priced at $1.3 Million more than its predecessor, the Murciélago LP640 from which it was based.

Lamborghini Reventon versus Tornado

Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire TKO'd Luis Maldonado

Philippine IBF/IBO Flyweight World Champion Nonito “Flash” Donaire successfully defended his crown against the game Mexican challenger Luis Maldonado winning by 8th round Technical Knockout.

The Filipino Flash dominated the fight held in Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut Saturday night and clearly outclassed the challenger. He also dropped Maldonado in the 7th round before the referee Arthur Mercante Jr. stopped the fight at 2:21 in the 8th.

Nonito Donaire has the making of a boxing superstar following in the big footsteps of the sensational Manny Pacquiao in the future.

I say, he is even better in boxing skills compared to Manny Pacquiao in his early years although not as devastating with his hands as the former.

But he is a joy to watch inside the ring and a well- polished fighter owing to his amateur background with power to boot in both hands and also the big heart and the angst that come with it.

He will be a future multi- division world champion and a force to reckon with in the square ring as long as he stays focused and disciplined in his career.

Watch the December 1, 2007 Championship Fight and be the judge...

WBC Super Featherweight Championships

Juan Manuel Marquez outworked and outboxed Marco Antonio Barrera in twelve busy and exciting rounds albeit without controversy to dethrone the Baby- Faced Assassin and won the World Boxing Council Super Featherweight Championships at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino last March 17, 2007 and earned him a possible megabuck fight and rematch with his old nemesis, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao.

If only Bob Arum's Top Rank and Oscar De la Hoya's Golden Boy Production would set their squabbles away and provide us the fight that boxing afficionados have been clamoring for years now.

Let's get ready to stumble!

The Charles Barkley versus Dick Bavetta Race



And so in the end they stumbled indeed…

The much awaited race between Dick Bavetta and Charles Barkley which was held at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas to add more spice to the 56th NBA All Star weekend was 235 feet or three times and a half of the NBA standard basketball court.

The Sexagenarian NBA referee going head-to-head with the overweight NBA Legend Round Ball of Rebound in a footrace to determine who will cross the finish line first between them and earn the bragging rights over the other that was further hyped on for weeks by the NBA and TNT who made the much-anticipated race possible was a fun way to entertain oneself in this year’s star-studded event.

The contest got off with the Chuckster after two false starts leading the older referee for most of the way until the “thundering” finish that was heard all over Vegas to show the world and backed up his claims that he has still some gas left in his tank, donuts or no donuts in his system and avoid the embarrassment of eating his own words that there is no way, he at 44, be defeated by a 67- year old man in a footrace.

The race was not even close with Barkley, his longer strides and bigger legs behind him out-sprinted Dick Bavetta to the finish line but the consensus among the fans who watched them go at it is, in a longer race the 67- year old NBA referee will easily beat the younger Barkley hands down.

Still, you can never underestimate the competitive will of Sir Charles who hired 1968 Olympic Bronze Medalist John Carlos of the controversial Black Power salute fame (or notoriety depending on which side you're on) with Gold Medalist Tommie Smith in Mexico City almost four decades ago to train him specifically for this event that earned him a new moniker, the Black Rhino in obvious reference to his size and weight.

The biggest winner of course is not Charles Barkley but the Boys and Girls Club of Las Vegas who received $50 grand from the NBA and TNT for sponsoring the event.

Anyway, It was a nice way to spice up the NBA All Star Weekend and we should thank both guys for being a good sport and game enough to provide us with a hearty laugh and good entertainment. And I think Dick Bavetta deserves a rematch in a longer race next time.

They got game, indeed.
