Pacquiao’s mom confident of upset win

She may not be in the ring when her illustrious son trades punches with Marco Antonio Barrera at the Alamodome in San Antonio on Saturday night. But Dionisia Pacquiao, mother of the IBF super-bantamweight king, wants her son to know she’ll be cheering his every move and believes he will end the contest triumphant.

“I know my son Manny will come home very triumphant. My gut-feeling says so. And I’ve never been wrong in that department,” Dionisia told Secondsout.com in a recent interview in Kidapawan City, where she was at ringside to cheer for his other son, Bobby, who fought Jaime Barcelona in a non title fight. Bobby Pacquiao went on to decision Barcelona with Dionisia at ringside.
