Why is Sacramento Kings Arena so Special?

Sacramento Kings new arena will have a feature that none of the best arenas in the world currently have.
The Sacramento Kings will be moving to its new world class home court, the Golden 1 Center, a new state-of-the-art venue nestled in the heart of downtown Sacramento. The Kings management are extremely proud of its unique indoor-outdoor multi-use facility for sporting and entertainment events with a seating capacity of 17,500.
It is a unique and certainly a very convenient feature that other teams may be thinking of doing next.
It will not be the biggest stadium. It is not the LED display nor has unlimited popcorn.
We quote “The Internet connection at Golden 1 Center will be over 17,000 times faster than the average home Internet.”
Sacramento Kings partnered with Comcast to make this happen. Now people can share 225,000 Instagram photos per second. Just wow!


Why did Freddie Admit Floyd is Better than Manny?

Manny Pacquiao’s long time trainer finally admits Floyd is better than Pacquiao.
“Manny has an eight world title and a lot of great opponents and so forth. Mayweather had the same, had a great career and undefeated, so I guess, so I guess we have to give it to Mayweather.”
Freddie mentioned on Boxingscene.com.
Freddie was the long time coach and friend of Manny Pacquiao and was in the corner when the two fighters met. Pacquiao lost the showdown that night. If he had won the fight he may have been the best ever in this generation.
Manny will have his last fight in 2016 but his opponent is still undetermined. Names that are within the selection are Bradley, Crawford, Khan and Bronner.

Jeremy Lin and his Monster Game! 35pts Highlights


Jeremy Lin was feeling it against the Raptors dropping 35 big points and leading the Hornets to another victory. He looked very poised and confident out there. This is one of the better performances of Jeremy Lin this year. His averages are down and we hope this will be a start for him to bounce and make a comeback.

Jeremy Lin was just signed by the Hornets this year.

Lakay’s Geje Eustaquio Out to Defy Gravity, Seeks Redemption

Geje “Gravity” Eustaquio will be facing Yang Jianbing tomorrow night at ONE: Spirit of Champions.

Lakay’s Geje Eustaquio Out to Defy Gravity, Seeks Redemption

By Carlos Cinco

While some fighters crumble at the mere hint of resistance, ONE Championship flyweight Geje “Gravity” Eustaquio of Team Lakay revels in it, maintaining a cool, calm demeanor in the face of imminent danger. Because of his icy composure, Eustaquio has been able to hang tough with some of the best fighters in his division.

On Friday night, December 11, at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, Philippines, Eustaquio (6-4) will take on China’s Yang Jianbing (5-1) in a three round flyweight contest in front of Eustaquio’s hometown Filipino crowd.

Eustaquio figured in two straight losses in his most recent outings, but it came against two solid opponents.
In September of 2014, Eustaquio challenged Brazilian Adriano Moraes for the ONE Flyweight World Championship in Cambodia. He lost by submission in the second round. In April of the following year, Eustaquio dropped a split decision to Thailand’s Anatpong Bunrad.

Though things have not exactly gone to plan, Eustaquio is still considered one of the most talented strikers at flyweight. Many of his peers are bigger, longer and more powerful, but few exhibit the kind of composure Eustaquio displays in the cage.

“It doesn’t matter how aggressive or strong my opponent is,” said Eustaquio.

“As long as I stick to the game plan laid out to me by my coaches, I will remain relaxed and composed no matter what. It’s all about sticking to the game plan. We work hard in the gym so that in the fight, I am never shaken.”

Eustaquio has been in the cage with the best, Moraes and Bunrad most recently.

Moraes, more of a grappling threat, was able to lock in a submission on Eustaquio but not after being out-classed in the striking department. Eustaquio also gave as good as he got against the intense Bunrad, eking out a split decision loss in an impressive performance.

In his first fight for the promotion, Eustaquio bested Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace, Alex Silva, showcasing great submission defense but Eustaquio knows he where he needs to improve his game.

“I need to improve my grappling confidence,” said Eustaquio. “I need to be able to grapple well enough to be confident in any situation on the ground. That’s my goal.”

The Filipino fighters up in Baguio City, where Eustaquio is from, are arguably the most talented mixed martial artists in the country today. The area has produced popular fighters like Eduard “Landslide” Folayang and Kevin “The Silencer” Belingon. Even Mark Striegl had once trained for a long period in the ‘City of Pines’.
Eustaquio is in great company.

Like his fellow Filipino superstars, he continues his career on Friday night, with one thing in his sights — another crack at the ONE Flyweight World Championship.

“I’m ready for another go,” said Eustaquio.

“I am working towards getting another shot at the title. I am ready for the opportunity.”
