GMA vs. LOZADA : BUY Your TICKETS NOW

During BOXING MATCHES, I prefer reading Pre and POST-FIGHT ANALYSIS by BOXING EXPERTS like Kevin LOLE rather watching bias TV interviews done by our local media.

This time, I made a round by round analysis of the recently concluded fight between WHISTLEBLOWER Jun LOZADA against 2 time defending CHAMPION Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.


Round 1:

Lozada opened the fight with so much hype. He was aggressive since the bell started at La SALLE GREENHILLS. He gave GMA an early uppercut in the first round with a KIDNAPPING allegation and then a jab combo of 500,000 pesos bribe in HONG KONG plus a left hook of the 300 million dollars KICKBACK regarding the ZTE-NBN deal. GMA could only play defense here in the first round with cover-ups and counter punching via a left HOOK of APOSTOL and a right JAB of BUNYE. Lozada managed to own this round with some decent HOOKS and JABS and a promise to APPEAR before the SENATE as GMA continued her counter-punching activities.


Score: 10 -9 LOZADA

Round 2:

Lozada continued his aggressive punching combination as he appeared on the witness stand before the SENATE. GMA was partially stunned but it seems that GMA has COUNTER PUNCHES in all of LOZADA's combo's. Midway in the second round and LOZADA continued his quest for supremacy as he launched some JABS and HOOKS via WALK FOR TRUTH rallies and CAMPUS TOURS as if he's MIGS ZUBIRI doing some CLOSE-UP commercial. The crowd (media plus some other left-leaning groups) is visibly showing sympathy towards him as GMA could only do counter-punches and play defense. The round ended with LOZADA showing dominance all throughout and as if CHARO SANTOS-CONCIO is already preparing a post-fight MMK deal.

SCORE: 10-9 LOZADA

ROUND 3

LOZADA opened the round with more HOOKS and those usual JABS we've seen in the early 2 rounds but this going on some provincial tours. GMA still managed to play defense and keep both feet on the ring. The CROWD is seemingly anticipating a GMA KO here but GMA still has energy to play defense and counter punches. LOZADA cornered GMA on one side and continue to play with JABS and COMBO's via a ERAP-CORY-JDV connection. It's four against one now as the crowd continues to wait for a KO but GMA still on her defense. Midway in this round, both sluggers were seen counter punching each other as GMA seemed to be losing focus on her GAME PLAN. Meanwhile, LOZADA steps on the brakes as he knew that he owned this round and continued to throw punches on GMA and the GREEDY GANG. The round ended with both fighters taking on some breather for HOLY WEEK vacation.

SCORE: 10-9 LOZADA


ROUND 4

GMA opened the round with much needed energy as she focused more on her game plan while LOZADA is trying to go for the kill. GMA sees an opening and seemed to be throwing more punches here on this round. The crowd is still waiting for a KO as LOZADA is seemingly looking for a timing to throw a POWER PUNCH. But GMA keeps boxing and then sees an opening, she launched on LOZADA a LEFT HOOK with an accidental BIG "C" on the former President CORY AQUINO and LOZADA seemed to be stunned this time. LOZADA still showed focus midway in this round as GMA is looking for a come from behind victory in this round. The bell ticked for the last 10 seconds of the fourth round and GMA throws a decent UPPERCUT and HOOK combinations of NFA RICE that sent Jun Lozada on the canvas momentarily but he managed to get up quickly as the round ended.

Score: 10-8 GMA



Round 5:

The round opened with GMA throwing more combos of NFA RICE as Lozada and company can only walk along Padre Faura Street to push a motion for reconsideration appeal regarding CHED chariman Neri's use of EXECUTIVE PRIVELEGE. GMA looks to dominate this round as she now throws more punching combinations of NFA Rice, the RICE shortage as a whole and LOZADA's supporters seemed to eye a knockdown of their hero. More "shortages" this time coming for both fighters but it seemed to be an advantage for GMA as she dumped Jun Lozada or should I say sent LOZADA to the CANVAS for the second time in this fight. Referee CES DRILON(bias to LOZADA and TRILLANES obviously) counted the KNOCKDOWN but JUN LOZADA has been able to stand again in the ring. It's just midway in this fifth round as the crowd already losing focus (and hopes) on the early punches thrown by LOZADA. GMA once again used power combination punches of a leaft hook, jab and an UPPERCUT via addressing the RICE PROBLEM in the country, MERALCO takeover, WAGE increase as JUN LOZADA was sent again into the canvas for the third time but this time he was unable to get up as the bout resulted into a KO.

SCORE: KO GMA

Winner: Obviously, this battle has been won by GMA as she heads on to her final 2 and a half years but the WAR as we know is not yet over. We all know that when Jun Lozada went out of the closet, GMA's boxing er presidential career is again on the line. Lozada may be the toughest among all the sluggers she faced but FOCUS plus GAME PLAN on her political machinery would always mean a victory on her side.

As to LOZADA, it all ended via a 5th round KO. I hope you did get my point. Each round is consisted of 3 minutes so that's about 15 minutes of fame for him enough for him to be called a "whistleblower" or may be a "has been" or even worse, a "never was". Definitely, not a "HERO".
