Manny Pacquiao is working extra hard to get ready for his much-anticipated war against International Boxing Federation (IBF) and World Boxing Association (WBA) featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico on May 8 in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao?s manager Rod Nazario told The Star yesterday the fighter is in good spirits and in good shape.
“Kausap ko si Manny the other day,” said Nazario who leaves Manila tomorrow to join Pacquiao in Los Angeles. “No problem ang kanyang weight. He?s about four to five pounds over the limit. Nagbibiro siya sa phone. Sa tingin ko, relax siya sa labang ito. He?s sure na kaya niyang patulugin si Marquez.”
