PacMan's Corner

[bubuy]

Hi Everyone. I apologize for the spam but I've been digging Pacquiao-Morales III threads and found no thread about bars that will feature Pac-Morales III.

 

Can you please inform me if you know of any bar/s that will feature this one, preferably Makati or Ortigas area? I inquired with National Sports Grill in Makati and they said they're not featuring it.

 

Thanks.

sa SM sure na ipapalabas ulit nila yan.. bar? tanghali?

The referee for the fight has already been chosen. It will be Vic Drakulich, Erik Morales' "favorite" referee. I smell something fishy. Drakulich was once rejected by Marco Antonio Barrera's camp during one of his fights with Morales for reasons that Drakulich is a known Top Rank lapdog. :grr:

[T.T.]

This smells trouble alright. My hunch is right. Morales is gonna clinch this fight...

[gilgrissom]

If this is the case, then PacMan must win by KO!

Pacman trains like ‘animal in the ring’

By Abac Cordero

The Philippine Star 11/10/2006

 

LOS ANGELES — With only 10 days before the big fight, Manny Pacquiao is pushing himself so hard in training that one of his associates has already likened the boxer to an "animal in the ring."

 

"Yes, he’s already like an animal in training," said Jake Joson Wednesday after watching Pacquiao, scheduled to face Erik Morales on Nov. 18 in Las Vegas, train at the Wild Card Gym here.

 

"He said he wants to finish off Morales in the early rounds, and that he’s going to fight like there’s no tomorrow. That’s why he’s training like an animal," added Joson of the 27-year-old Pacquiao.

 

The unofficial count says Pacquiao has logged close to 150 rounds of sparring since he started training in the Hollywood gym, owned by Freddie Roach, almost two months ago.

 

Pacquiao had seven rounds of sparring against two boxers Wednesday. Thursday is the only public workout for the Filipino ring icon, but with no sparring. Gym work starts at noon.

 

Pacquiao will hold his last sparring session on Saturday, the day Roach, his chief trainer, returns after a two-day stop in Chicago where one of his fighters will climb the ring.

 

Pacquiao will leave for Las Vegas on Sunday, and not on Monday which falls on the 13th of November. In Vegas, Pacquiao will just go through the motions at the IBA Gym, a few blocks off the fight venue.

 

Notes: Lito Camo, the singer-composer who’s behind Manny Pacquiao’s recent hits, flew in from Manila Wednesday evening with one special package containing the boxer’s fighting shoes made by Nike. The red-and-white pair, with its lace-free design, reportedly costs $1,000 a pair, and will not be released to the market until next year... So far, there are only three pairs out, and two of them are with Paqcquiao. The other one is still in the Nike headquarters in Portland, Oregon. Some of the avid followers of Pacquiao in training are Ilocos Sur strongman Chavit Singson who has visited the gym at least thrice in a month, and just the other day Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla who came with some family members.

In-form Pacquiao impresses fans

By Abac Cordero

The Philippine Star 11/11/2006

 

LOS ANGELES — Manny Pacquiao made no secret about his readiness to face Erik Morales when he staged a public workout Thursday at the Wild Card Gym here in Hollywood.

 

While Morales remains secluded up in the Otomi mountains of Mexico, Pacquiao held a heavy two-hour workout before a few dozen members of the press and some fans shortly after noon.

 

The next time Pacquiao opens the door to his training will be on Monday at the IBA Gym in Las Vegas. Morales is scheduled to hold his first and only press workout the following day at the nearby Top Rank Gym.

 

"I’m ready to fight and I’m excited. This is going to be a good fight. I’ve been training doubly hard for this," Pacquiao told the foreign press, both from print and broadcast, which packed the new east wing of the gym.

 

Pacquiao took a 10-minute drive from his La Palazzo apartment on the way to the gym. He was aboard his all-black 2007 Mercedes Benz SL550 driven by his friend Joseph Jose.

 

It took Pacquiao another 10 minutes to change into his No Fear training gear, and the moment he stepped out of the dressing room, it was all work and no play.

 

Pacquiao, arguably the most exciting fighter in the world today, did his usual stuff, and was so impressive with his quickness and strength, terrific head and body movement, and great footwork.

 

"Manny’s gonna k*ll Erik," said a foreign member of the media.

 

Pacquiao started the show with three rounds of shadow boxing, then four rounds of mitts with Freddie Roach and two rounds working on the 80-pound punching bag.

 

He pounded bag so hard it swayed like a rag doll. Then came another two rounds with the double-end bag, three rounds with the speed ball, 12 minutes skipping ropes and another three rounds of shadow boxing.

 

Pacquiao also did hundreds of crunches with Filipino trainers Buboy Fernandez and Nonoy Neri by his side. Then he faced the press and fielded questions on the Nov. 18 fight at the Thomas and Mack Center.

 

"As I said I’ve been working very hard because I know Morales is working hard also. I work hard because I respect Morales as a boxer. He is strong also," said Pacquiao.

 

Pacquiao will be back at Wild Card Friday noon to train despite the absence of Roach, who had to leave Thursday evening for Chicago where one of his fighters would see action.

 

Roach will be back Saturday, the last day of sparring for Pacquiao. So far, after almost two months and only eight days before the fight, the Pinoy hero has logged close to 150 rounds of sparring.

 

Pacquiao will leave for Las Vegas on Sunday. It will be a four-hour, 300-mile journey on board his 2003 Lincoln Navigator, and a handful other vehicles carrying his entourage.

That is one thing that will destroy his legacy, God forbid. Joining politics, or being used by politicians. I'm sure he will win if he runs for any public office.
