A. Peterson Battles in Texas March 12!

When undefeated DC lightweight Anthony Peterson travels to Texas on the weekend of March 12, it could prove to be a very big weekend. ESPN.com's Dan Rafael is reporting that Peterson (29-0, 19 KO's) will make his return to action on Friday, March 12 in Grapevine, TX in a 10-round bout against Juan Ramon Cruz of Puerto Rico (16-7-1, 12 KO's). Peterson has only fought once since injuring his knee in August of 2008, winning a 10-round unanimous decision against Luis Antonio Arceo on August 15, 2009.

Should Peterson win on March 12, he may travel to the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX the next evening to witness the matchup between Humberto Soto and David Diaz for the vacant WBC Lightweight title -- that's the co-feature on the Manny Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey card. Top Rank representative Carl Moretti told ESPN.com that a Peterson victory on the 12th would make him the mandatory challenger for the winner of Soto-Diaz, possibly in June.

In an interesting bit of irony, Edwin Valero vacated the WBC Lightweight title for a possible bout against Peterson's brother, Lamont.

They were first seen together in Hong Kong but Krista vehemently denied that they have a relationship and said they just bumped into each other there by chance. But now, they were seen together again when Manny gave away relief goods to Ondoy victims. “Bakit kailangang lagyan ng malisya ‘yun?” Krista told a friend. “Kasama ako ni Manny sa filmfest movie niyang ‘ Wapakman’ at nagpatulong siya, so I went to help him. Kung gumagawa ako ng kalokohan, bakit kasama ko ang daddy ko (actor Mat Ranillo ) doon sa relief goods distribution?” Wonder what Director Dominic Zapata , Krista’s boyfriend of four years, say about this rumor. And do we see Ara Mina heaving a sigh of relief now that Manny is no longer being linked to her but to Krista, who’s her rival over the affection of Allen Dizon in the new movie “Marino”...
