A well-rested Bobby Pacquiao has been training at the RWS Gym in preparation for a ten-round bout underneath the huge November 10 Shane Mosley-Miguel Cotto welterweight showdown at the Madison Square Garden in New York.
Buboy Fernandez, who trains Bobby Pacquiao along with his more illustrious brother Manny, revealed yesterday that Bobby has been chosen to see action in the card.
"We will be flying to New York again. I think Bobby will be ready," said Fernandez in an interview yesterday.
Bobby Pacquiao has been on a two-bout losing streak, but has vowed to do better in his upcoming fight.
"No name has yet been given to us as to his next opponent, but we will know soon," added Fernandez.
The younger Pacquiao had been stopped in the seventh round by Humberto Soto last June 9 also at the Madison Square Garden.
Prior to that, he lost via disqualification to former Pacman victim Hector Velazquez late last year at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
The Mosley versus Cotto fight will be for the WBA welterweight title, although some experts believe this should be for the people's welterweight crown.
Also included in the card is recent Golden Boy Promotions acquisition Joel Casamayor, the former Olympic gold medallist, who will take on Jose Armando Sta. Cruz for the WBC lightweight crown.
