Los Angeles, CA:- The fickle Southern California weather was at its best again. In the last few days there was nothing but bright sunshine and fantastic spring weather. Yesterday, however there was a sudden change. There were scattered rains storms accompanied by lightning and thunder. There were mudslides and hail. And, would you believe it? a tornado touched down in Riverside and toppled over huge trees and even train locomotives.
But those were about the only changes worth mentioning because back at the Wildcard Gym it was business as usual for Team Pacquiao.
Pacquiao arrive on time and on schedule for his training today (May 23). Being a Friday, he did not spar. But he did his usual training routine.
First, it was a few rounds of shadow boxing with Buboy Fernandez keeping an eye on him. This part of training regimen is designed to loosen him up and warm up his body.
Then Freddie Roach got on the ring and they begun the ?punch mitt? portion of the training. Freddie concentrated in honing the rapid multiple combinations Pacquiao has been known for. It seem that Roach and Pacquiao are really anticipating that Diaz will come forward as he usually do, thus the combinations designed to stop his forward movement which will then open him for the killer left of Pacquiao.
There was also a large amount of time spent on footwork to compliment the multiple combinations.
After the punch mitts, Pacquiao proceed to hit the double bags followed by the speed bags, and the heavy bags. He spent several rounds with each equipment.
Several rounds of skip rope followed suit and then the conditioning procedures supervised by Coach Eric Brown and Nonoy Neri.The final exercise consisted of Brown ? beating ? Pacquiao?s mid-section with a stick to condition the abdominal muscles.
This procedure is not for the faint hearted people to watch. It is an obviously painful process judging by the way Pacquiao grimace while Brown was hitting his stomach.
After that final procedure, Pacquiao started a ?cool down? process and later on obliged his fans with autographs and a short photo session.
The day ended as usual, at the Thai restaurant for his favorite meal before heading home to relax.
