LOS ANGELES, Cal. ? Simula na ngayong araw ang sparring session ni Pambansang kamao Manny Pacquiao tungo sa nalalapit niyang laban kay Floyd Mayweadther jr. sa Mayo 2 sa Las Vegas.
Sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon mula nang itayo ang training camp sa General Santos City, at dalawang linggo makaraang lumpipat sa Wild Card Gym sa pinakasentro ng Hollywood dito ay makararanas na si Manny na tumuntong sa ibabaw ng ring na may kalaban sa harapan niya mula nang pataubin niya si Chris Algieri apat na buwan na ang nakararaan sa Macau.
?Okay lang ako, palapit na nang palapit ang laban habang patindi nang patindi naman ang ensayo,? ani Sarangani Congressman kahapon matapos ang kanyang regular na ensayo sa gym na pag-a-ari ng kanyang chief trainer na si Freddie Roach.
?I?m good. I feel very good and ready for the tougher road ahead of preparation.? We started preparing earlier than in my previous fights because alam naman natin na mabigat ang labang darating which might define the remaining years of my career.?
Dalawa sa anim na napili ni Roach na makipag-spar kay Manny ang unang makatikim ng panibagong bilis at lakas ni World Boxing organization welterweight champ na nakuha sa may limang lingo training camp.
Ito ay sina Kenneth Sims, isang di pa kilalang welterweight na nadiskubre ni Roach sa Chicago na may limang panalo na, kasama ang dalawang KO at isa pang batambatang junior middleweight na taga-Finland na di matandaan ni Roach ang kumpletong pangalan. May impresibong 24-1 panalo-talong rekord ang isang ito.
Ipinahayag ng pitong beses na Trainer o the Year na isasama niya ang mga ito sa talaan ng kanyang scholar sa Wild Card school of boxing.
?Both are very young and have good potentials to become world champions,? pahayag ni Roach. Idinagdag pa niya na mayroon pa siyang apat na naghihintay ng tawag para makatulong na ihanda si Manny sa labang pinamagatang ?the biggest fight? sa buhay ng dalawang boksingero.
Apat hanggang anim na round lamang makikipag-spar si Manny ngayon, sabi ni Roach. Gaya ng mga nakaraang laban, ang sparring ay gaganapin tuwing Martes, Huwebes at Sabado samantalang physical conditioning at stamina building naman tuwing Lunes, Miyerkoles at Biyernes.
?Manny, actually, is in good shape,? ito ang obserbasyong ipinahayag ni Roach habang nagpapasalamat sa kanyang mga assistant trainer na sina Buboy at Roger Fernandez at Nonoy Neri sa nagawa nila habang wala si Roach na kasalukuyang nasa Macau noong magsimula ang kampo.
"We will just be making him to be as competitive as we would want him to be to achieve our target of winning by knockout,? sabi ni Roach . ?We have to win this fight because if we fail, the entire world will be very disappointed.?
?Manny knows that very well, that is why he really is dipping his head and his whole body to the training regimen he himself, myself and the training team charted.
?I can see it in his eyes, in his body movement, his attitude in training that he really wants to win and win decisively.? dagdag ni Roach. ?Sometimes, I cannot help but think he?s mad at this guy (Mayweather).?
?I can feel when we?re doing the mitts. With the way he hits the mitts, I can see it on how he responds to the things we want him to do. The efforts he has been doing which I didn?t see in his previous similarly important fights,? aniya.
oOo
