Pacquiao, hinihintay na ni Roach

-

May walong linggo pa si Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao para paghandaan ang kan-yang rematch kay Mexican boxing great Marco Antonio Barrera sa Oktubre 6 sa Mandalay Bay sa Las Vegas, Nevada

At inaasahan ni American trainer Freddie Roach na darating ngayon ang 28-anyos na kasaluku-yang World Boxing Council (WBC) International super featherweight champion. 

”We will have 8 hard weeks ahead of us, he’s running and playing basketball to stay in good condition while he’s not here,” ani Roach kahapon kay Pacquiao. ”When he’s here, it’s business as usual, and that’s all business.  When he walks into the doors of the Wild Card, it’s nothing but work.” 

Sa kanilang unang pagkikita ni Barrera noong Nobyembre ng 2003 sa Alamodome sa San Antonio, Texas, pinasuko ni Pacquiao ang 33-anyos na Mexican warrior sa 11th round para angkinin ang “People’s Featherweight Championship.” 

Sinabi ni Roach na tiyak na reresbak si Barrera, hinubaran ng 33-anyos ring si Juan Manuel Marquez ng suot na WBC super featherweight crown sa kanilang laban noong Marso, sa kanilang rematch ni “Pacman”. 

”Manny knows it’s a tough fight, Barrera had some excuses last time as to why he lost, maybe they were true, maybe not.  I think we were the better man that night, I look for Manny to be very impressive when he fights him again, and I look for Manny to knock Barrera out if we fight at our pace,” ani Roach.

 Upang muling matalo si Barrera, ang tinaguriang “The Baby-Faced Assa-sin”, kailangang nasa matinding porma si Pacqiuao sa oras ng kanilang laban. 

”To do that we have to be in great fight, but Manny has to be in great shape for all of his fights,” sabi ni Roach. “Manny has big fights after this fight, and we are not going to stumble.” (Russell Cadayona)
