PACQUIAO SATISFIED WITH GENSAN TRAINING CAMP


PhilBoxing.com




GENERAL SANTOS CITY (PNA)- With the all ingredients needed for a more extensive training regimen awaiting him at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles, Manny Pacquiao said preparations for his fourth encounter with Juan Manuel Marquez are going on smoothly and without an iota of hitch.

Saying extending his training camp here proved to be a blessing-in-disguise, the eight-division champion expressed that he's more than ready for a more tedious program chief trainer Freddie Roach has charted in an effort to get him ready for the fight set December 8 at the MGM Grand.

"As we've been saying, we plan to win convincingly this time, possibly via knockout and that's we've been working on since we pitched camp here in GenSan," Pacquiao told People's Journal in a long conversation while partaking sumptous dinner with members of his team after a two and-a-half hour workout at the People's Gym inside the huge Family Country Hotel compound.

"The stamina is already there, the speed and power have been recovered at wala ng kulang na gawin kundi pagaralan ang taktika at strategy na gagamitin sa laban pagdating sa LA," the 33-yer-old Fighter of the Decade assured.

"Maganda ang aming camp dito. No distractions whatsoever. At maganda ang weather, medyo mainit kaya siguro na-regain ko agad ang stamina. Grabe kung pagpawisan kung kaya nakakaya kong gawin ang lahat pinagagawa sa akin," Pacquiao said.
Pacquiao was referring to the regimen prepared by himself, his boyhood friend assistant trainer Buboy Fernandez and younger brother Roger "Haplas" Fernandez.

One other wonderful thing happening at his camp, according to the Pacman, is there has been a very minimal distractions both in his roadwork at the General Santos Sports Complex oval and in his gym worki at the People's Champ Gym, built solely for his use by businessman-sportsman friend Rey Golingan, owner of the Family Country Hotel.

"My security nga (headed by Caloy Homo) hindi na naha-high blood sa pag-awat ng mga taong nagpo-pose for picture o nagpapapirma ng authograph, he said with a giggle.
"Alam naman ng mga kababayan ko dito na napakahalaga ng laban kong ito at ayaw nilang magsilbing distractions sa preparasyon ko," he added.

"Yun ang pagkakaiba kung nasa Baguio ka or other places kung saan pinagkakaguluhan ka ng mga taong hindi naman alam na nakaka-istorbo sila. Hindi naman puedeng pagbawalan dahil sasama ang loob," the Pacman said.

"In short, ang masasabi ko ay napakaganda ng naging camp namin dito sa GenSan. di gaya ng iniisip ng ibang tao na wala akong ginagawa dito o napapabayaan ko ang paghahanda,. Far from it," he said.

"Me neglecting my preparation? Never. Ako pa. Kilala naman ako ng marami kahit anong gawin ko, subsob and ulo. at iyan ang ginagawa ko dito at ng team ko," he assured. "Pinangangako namin na pagdating ng laban, handang-handa kami."

" Hirap ako, hirap din sila. Sa tutoo lang at makikita mo naman, masaya kami, unlike before maraming intriga.

Dito, kami-kami lang ng original team ko. Si Buboy, si Haplas. Kaming lahat na magkakasama noong una pa man," Pacquiao said.
