Trainer Joe Goossen discussed the recent victory by Manny Pacquiao, the recent loss by the fighter he works with, Jesus Soto-Karass (pictured at right, on the left), and, also, Floyd Mayweather.
Pacquiao (53-2-1, 38 knockouts), who is handled by Top Rank Promotions, is coming off of an HBO pay-per-view televised victory over Antonio Margarito (38-7, 27 KOs), which added the WBC’s vacant junior middleweight (154 pounds) crown to the WBO welterweight (147 pounds) belt that he had already owned.
On the Pacquiao-Margarito under card, Soto-Karass (24-5-3, 16 KOs) lost a disputed decision to Mike Jones (23-0, 18 KOs), who is pictured on the far right.
