Leg cramps ni Pacquiao sosolusyunan

MANILA, Philippines - Plano ni trainer Freddie Roach na dalhin si Manny Pacquiao sa pinakamaga­galing na medical doctors sa Los Angeles, California hinggil sa naranasang pamumulikat ng Filipino bo­xing superstar sa kanyang huling dalawang laban.

Dahil sa leg cramps, hindi napabagsak ni Pacquiao si Sugar Shane Mosley noong Mayo at si Juan Manuel Marquez noong Nobyembre ng nakaraang taon.

“We had addressed it,” ani Alex Ariza, ang strength and conditioning coach ni Pacquiao."Did you see any problems when he fought (Oscar) De La Hoya, (Ricky) Hatton, (Miguel) Cotto, and (Antonio) Margarito? No you didn't. When he wanted to change things against Mosley we had them. When he wanted to do his own thing against Marquez, it was even worse. So let's go back to doing things the old way.”

Bubuksan nina Roach, Pacquiao at Ariza ang kanilang training camp sa Mayo 16 kasama si Amir Khan bilang paghahanda kay Timothy Bradley, Jr.

Ang kondisyon ng 33-anyos na si Pacquiao ang kaagad na pagtutuunan ng pansin ni Ariza sa training camp.

“We'll focus first two or three weeks just on strength and conditioning,” wika ni Ariza. ”I think Manny is going to have to motivate himself. I know that he is a little disappointed in the way his last two fights went, the problems with legs and things like that. We've got to go back to train the way we used to when we didn't have problems.”
