LOS ANGELES — Filipino boxing star and Philippine senator Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao does the mitts with his long time trainer Freddie Roach at Roach’s Wildcard Gym in Hollywood Friday (Saturday in Manila) and the storied partnership between the now legendary boxer and Hall of Fame trainer continues.
Pacquiao has three more weeks for his Los Angeles part of the training before he squares off with Andrien Broner of the United States to defend his WBA welterweight title on January 19, 2019 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Roach trained Pacquiao since when Pacquiao first fought in the United States in 2001 but was absent during Pacquiao’s last fight against Lucas Matthysse last July 15 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
