Patrick Antonio top performer of 2011
Roosterman No . 11 ; January , 2012
Whether Antonio would be credited with his 5th title will depend on how organizers will threat his participation in the Spartan team . Antonio came in only on the finals after Spartan already score 4 wins .
Antonio , fresh from his solo championship in the 2011 World Slasher Cup ( WSC ) -1 could tie the record of Jun Santiago .
Since the inception of the modern day-WSC , in 1990 , Santiago had won the title 5 times , the first time in 1990 , twice in 1992 , again in 1994 and the last time in 2005 after a long draught . On the other hand Antonio ‘ s wins came more recently . The acknowledged cocking idol won the WSC 2 in 1997 , the first to score 8 straight wins in the WSC . Then he repeated in 2000 and 2007 both in WSC 1 . His last WSC title was in January 2011 again with 8 points . If Antonio would be credited with a championship in the 2011 WSC 2 then he would not only tie the 5-title record of Santiago but also the sweep scored by Santiago in 1992 and by Peping Ricafort in 2000 . Ricafort also won a title in 1993 .
Obviously Antonio gave serious try at the records as he fielded 10 entries . But when none of the 10 scored perfect 4 , he decided to combine with Briones in the Spartan team in the finals .
In addition to his victories in the WSC , Antonio also scored another remarkable feat in 2011 . His entry Sagupaan B50 MP 888 tied with three others for the championship of the 7-cock “ Fight of the Century ” derby at San Juan Coliseum with an entry fee of P1.1 million .
With this , despite the questions raised over his win in the June edition of the WSC , Antonio could be rightfully conferred with the title of best performer in year 2011
Patrick Antonio still the cocking idol he is .
