His trainer Freddie Roach described it as his best training day in Baguio City yet, while sparring partner Amir Khan went further and said it's the best he's ever seen Manny Pacquiao since they first met. "It's the best I've seen him since I've known Manny. Today he looks so sharp, quick and he looked very, very explosive.," Khan told GMA News. Equally fast himself, the 23-year-old Bolton, UK native Khan has been helping Pacquiao shape up in Baguio while also preparing for his showdown with Marcos Maidana on December 11.
"Thing is I've been working on the right hand for about 8 years now and it's getting better and better all the time. I think that will be the knockout punch," Pacquiao's Hall of Fame boxing trainer said. Roach is pleased at how Pacquiao has bounced back and worked hard after initial reports of the pound for pound king still finding his speed and rhythm last week.
Pacquiao is now done with his camp in Baguio and is currently in Manila. He will be flying to LA this weekend where he will be concluding his camp for Margarito at Roach's Wild Card Gym. Pacquiao definitely saved his best for last in the City of Pines as reports also indicated that he sent a couple of his sparring partners home with bloody noses for souvenirs.
