first, fight results from saturday...manny ko'd velazquez in 6, and viloria ko'd ortiz in 1 (they only showed the ko on hbo).
i totally forgot to mention rey "boom boom" bautista, the 3rd filipino who fought that saturday. he ko'd his opponent murillo in 3. (unfortunately, i can't find a pic of him online).
so w/ all of them winning, filipinos everywhere rejoiced...it's something that'll lift the spirits of the poor masses amidst the political crisis.

in other news, there was a good read @ the la times today regarding the current state of historic filipinotown. the article was entitled "filipinotown searching for its center" by wendy lee and can be found here. (registration req. -- try using bugmenot).
the article is pretty accurate. i sometimes go through historic filipinotown in my commute home from usc, and it's pretty much what the article says. any development though imo is going to take a while.
thanks to cher for telling me about the article.
