FEARS OVER PACMAN FOCUS

Manny Pacquiao has tried to allay fears that he has other things on his mind after a break in preparations for his October 6 rematch with Marco Antonio Barrera.

The Filipino firebrand returned abruptly to his homeland this week sparking fears he would not be ready to meet his Mexican rival. But he has subsequently indicated he will be back in California this week.

Trainer Freddie Roach told doghouseboxing.com: “People are telling Manny it is an easy fight but it’s not. The only way Manny can lose this fight is if he takes it lightly and I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen.”
