PACQUIAO SPARS FOUR ROUNDS

11 times world champion Manny Pacquiao sparred 4 quality rounds today [Saturday] and looked very impressive for his first sparring in preparation for the Horn fight July 2nd in Brisbane, Australia.

Pacquiao's first sparring partner was Leonardo Doronio who completed 2 rounds and then Sonny Katiandagho finished the last 2 rounds.

Katiandagho with a 11-2 pro record and nicknamed 'Pinoy Hearns', has the same fighting style as Jeff Horn and tried his best to pressure Pacquiao in the sparring session coming forward like Horn.

After sparring, Pacquiao worked out for another 3 hours where he did pad work, speed ball, heavy bag and plyometrics to finish off training.

Senator Manny's wife Jinkee was also present at the training to support her husband and encouraged him during his workout.

Pacquiao will rest on Sunday from the gym and will be back on Monday.
