Macau - The best kept secrets of Manny Pacquiao this guy know since he practically is around where the Sarangani lawmaker goes, him being the chief security officer of the Sarangani lawmaker.

In trainings specifically, Carlos ?Master? Jomo, is always there especially during the run-ins of a forthcoming fight and in this duel with Brandon ?Bam-Bam? Rios, Jomo declares that the ?Pacman? is in top of his game, especially in the area of conditioning.

Reason: the ?pulikat? (muscle stiffness) of his boss is already gone unlike in the previous fights where Pacquiao has been complaining of the nagging physical conditioning problem.

Because the problem is already over and done with, Jomo is very confident, like head coach Freddie Roach has predicted, Rios will be knocked down within the first four rounds.

?The muscle stiffness is already gone and therefore as I observed him in the training, this could be his best. He is very much conditioned,? Jomo reveals in Filipino in an interview with this writer inside the Pacman?s suite at The Venetian Macao, Resort and Hotel after the official weigh-in yesterday.

According to Jomo, distractions were kept to a minimum and Pacquiao is often in bed as early as 7:30p.m., especially in the last few weeks where Pacquiao decided not to hold camp elsewhere but instead had it in General Santos City, the lawmaker's place of residence where a Pacman Wild Card gym was also built in lieu of Roach own Wild Card gym in Los Angeles, California.

And so there you are boxing folks, aficionados, fans, doubting Thomases and perhaps bettors, hours before the ?Clash in Cotai? happens, the ultimate tip is out, Pacquiao is in tip-top shape and who else would know it, the man who is always around even inside his suite, his chief security officer Carlos Jomo.
