Dude in sport jacket/jeans straight CHILLIN up against the wall until Bob walks in like the HS principal. Then he has to look busier.

Does anyone know how to say Nonito's last name?
I’ve seriously asked one of my filipino friends and she has no idea.

is there a reason why people keep pronouncing his name wrong? I know in other sports, some athletes get upset and tell the commentators how to say their names correctly
Because it just happened that way and stuck, and at a certain point there’s no changing it, I guess.

More from Bart Barry: “Lester Bedford just went for the black cape (to cover a naked fighter), and it doesn’t look like Rubio needs it. No Chavez still.”
