Patrick
Antonio is a known cocker and we can consider him as one of the institution of
cockfighting in the Philippines. He is really an idol of many of us; even prominent
breeders like Biboy Enriquez admiring him because he is really an expert in our
field. Patrick Antonio is a 6th time World Slasher Cup Champion. He was also a consistent contender in that prestige
derby and always joining in other big derbies like Candelaria, Bakbakan, NCA
and many more.
Aside
from being WSC Champion, he was also a multiple NCA Breeder of the Year. That’s
the reason why Patrick Antonio became a household name. You always hear his
name where every part of the country you go. If there’s a chicken talk, his name has
always been cited, and they set him an example of a good chicken man. Patrick
is very hands on every time when he has a fight because he is the one who
putting down his gamefowl warrior on cockpit arena. Unlike other breeders, they
are not doing this because they are afraid to be hit by the gaff of their
chicken.
Since
80’s Patrick Antonio is making noise in the world of cockfighting. We will
never count how many championship, he already achieved. But of course, like in
any other sports there is also time for losing. Yes, he already tasted many
unlucky moments, but it doesn’t affect with his popularity. Patrick Antonio was already established his
name. If you are in a cockpit and you will hear that chicken is from; for sure
you will bet for his chicken. As a fan also, maybe you are also using his gamefowl product which is Sagupaan.
Cockers
admiring him because Patrick is very good in terms of chicken selection. He
knows how to work with chickens to be more competitive. And of course, as a big
time breeder he has good bloodlines and he has a lot of choices. But why does
other big time breeders are not as good as Patrick if that is only the issues.
Yes, resources are a big factor in chicken breeding, but you need a natural
talent to be successful in this tough sport. Other believed also that not all
chickens on his farm are his own bred. He only bought it from other breeders
then he fights it. If this is true there’s nothing wrong with that because even
breeders doing this. They are buying chicken from other breeders if they think
that their chickens is better than their chickens.
What
I also admired with Patrick, if you will see him in person he is very calm
and not a snobbish person. And if there’s somebody calling him ‘idol’ he will
smile to you. Even he is very popular he always stay his foot on the ground. You
would never feel any boastfulness from him. Aside from being a good cocker-breeder,
maybe his kindness paved him the way to be a politician. He won the heart of
the people who trusting him.
