Let the Pacmania begin! The Conquering Hero has landed in sunny California and he will begin prepping for his April 14 San Antonio showdown with Mexican Jorge Solis on Monday at the Wild Card Gym.
Word is that trainer Freddie Roach won’t be at the Wild Card because he is in Puerto Rico with Oscar De La Hoya but Roach assistant Justin Fortune will be on hand to put Pacman through his paces.
Upon arrival at LAX, where this time no one from Golden Boy was there to greet him with a golden suitcase, Pacman said he is dedicating this fight to his fan back in the Phillipines and to Pinoys and all of his other fans worldwide.
Judging from how bright-eyed and bushy-tailed Manny looks, I have to think that Senor Solis is going to wind up feeling like Davey Crockett when the Mexicans overran the Alamo.
Be assured that yours truly and the Boxingconfidential.com team will be all over the big San Antonio like a cheap suit. It will be wall to wall, all Manny all the time coverage. Of course, we will also not ignore that little fight that the Golden Boy himself has coming up on May 5. He’s fighting Floyd somebody or so I hear…
