Even Manny’s coach, Freddie Roach declared the Manny is ready to fight Bradley.

During the two-hour session of Pacquiao’s training, the respondents saw him as if it’s been years before – young and strong!

As quoted by the Inquirer, Freddie Roach said that, “He [Manny] looks good, he looks sharp. He’s training as hard as ever.”

The Hall of Fame trainer also expresses his confidence on Manny Pacquiao that he can still knock out his opponent just like before.

In preparation of the match against Tim Bradley, Ghislain Maduma and Lydell Rhodes are tasked to be the sparring partners of the eight-division world boxing champ. The sparring session was assigned to Maduma for five rounds, a boxer who imitates the offensive stance of Bradley, and another four rounds for Rhodes.

In the previous interviews, Manny Pacquiao said that he wanted to finish his professional boxing career with a knockout win against the Desert Storm.

“I’m trying to do my best so the people enjoy my last fight,” said Manny Pacquiao as quoted by Ring TV.

As the stated, the Pacman used to do his abdominal exercises in ways that seem to be unconventional. He is even caught hitting his stomach preparing for a body blow from Bradley.

To call it a day, Manny Pacquiao will bow his head and then pray.
