CEBU–Just hours before Fernando Montiel could defend his title against Z Gorres, superstar Manny Pacquiao had already stepped into the fight ring as he worked out this afternoon with Filipino trainer Buboy Fernandez.
Pacquiao worked the mitts for eight rounds in front of an awed crowd that included workers who were putting up the finishing touches of the ring and seats.
Pacquiao is slated to fly to the United States in March then hook up with trainer Justin Fortune for his April 14 showdown with the unknown Jorge Solis.
Pacquiao was accompanied at today’s workout by his close associate Rex ‘Wakee’ Salud.
