Pacman ready, Roach predicts KO
LOS ANGELES – Manny Pacquiao is back in training in Los Angeles. Day one of his training camp began Monday at 8:30 a.m. with a morning run and ended with some abs exercises shortly before 6 p.m..
Pacquiao described, “13 rounds, then shadowboxing, speed bag, and punching ball, and skipping rope, as usual, we do like 29 rounds today so that’s a lot.”
Recent reports revealed that trainer Freddie Roach was concerned that the Sarangani congressman is not focused on boxing. The four time trainer of the year said everything is looking good, and is happy that Team Pacquiao is back training in the US.
“He told me at the first week of training that he missed his job. I said this is your job, and he said I missed Congress. So I was a little bit worried, but we got over those distractions in Manila and Baguio. And we’re here now, he’s on fire today,” recalled Roach.
The Pacman will continue sparring against Junior Welterweight champion Amir Khan, Rashad Holloway, and Ray Beltran.
