[Summary] =>
Local boxing was jarred by the news that Boy Cantada, the producer of the weekly boxing program "Fistorama," was quitting the pro scene for good, and was switching to amateur boxing instead. Based on the reports of Quinito Henson (Philippine Star - Oct 20) and Ronnie Nathanielsz (www.philboxing.com Oct. 19), Cantada is quitting pro boxing "because of the GAB's dictatorial and strong-arm methods." The one major incident that blew the lid was the GAB's "arbitrarily increasing the compensation of boxing officials in promotions without prior notice or consultation."

[Title] => Cantada assails GAB ‘dictatorship’
[Summary] =>
"Fistorama" producer Edgardo (Boy) Cantada is furious and his late brother Smokin’ Joe must be turning in his grave because of the high-handed manner by which the Games and Amusements Board (GAB) has made life even more difficult for struggling boxing promoters.
Cantada, who revived "Fistorama" over four years ago in Smokin’ Joe’s memory, is taking the GAB to task for arbitrarily increasing the compensation of boxing officials in promotions without prior notice or consultation.

[Title] => Cantadas to the rescue
[Summary] => Boxing promoter Edgardo (Boy) Cantada and his son Gerard attended to fighter Danny Peña and paid for his two-night hospitalization after he was halted by Wyndel Janiola in a "Fistorama" TV card at the Joe Cantada Boxing Arena in Taguig last Thursday.
Janiola had difficulty eluding the rushing tactics of Peña in the early going but once he found his range, began peppering the Games and Amusements Board (GAB) No. 6 lightflyweight contender’s face with lightning-quick precision.

[Title] => Rapping with Taby
[Summary] => Since I don’t play golf and know little about the sport, running into Taby Tabaniag is a remote possibility for me.
Taby was once a fixture in boxing circles. He teamed with Joe Cantada in hosting "Fistorama" on TV for over 25 years. And he was the late Flash Elorde’s publicist during his reign as world junior lightweight champion. But when Elorde died and "Fistorama" made its curtain call, Taby left boxing for golf. He’s never looked back.
