Team Pacquiao finished the Baguio phase of their training in high spirits. Trainer Freddie Roach was a guest at Friday?s SCOOP sa Kamayan weekly session at the Kamayan Restaurant-Padre Faura and talked about the WBO welterweight champion?s training for his title defense against Timothy Bradley.
Roach said that he is satisfied with the results and that whatever still lacks in Pacquiao?s arsenal will be address when training shifts to the Wild Card Gym in L.A.
?Manny?s in between 40 to 50 percent ready at the moment, but he?ll be ready to reclaim that pound-for-pound best fighter title,? Roach assured, belying reports that the eight-division champion is on the way down.
?To those who are saying that Manny is all done, washed up and too old, well, they?re mistaken. They based their opinion perhaps on Manny?s last outing against (Juan Manuel) Marquez, but there?s no comparison,? he said.
When asked how the fight will go, Roach said it will not last 12 rounds with Pacquiao emerging as winner.
Filipino conditioning coach Marvin Somodio, who filled the absence of Alex Ariza, said Pacquiao has been doing well in training and is in near perfect condition.
