Brian Livingston, Alex Ariza Date of Interview: May 1, 2011 two. Yes, Pacquiao, who cruised well without any clear signs of danger in their twelve rounds of boxing, also attributed his failure to perform of what was expected of him to do by his fans – claimed in fact that his failure to get back to training considerably for three months of lull period since after his fight against Antonio Margarito may have been causing the muscles of his both legs to tighten, which, he said, is hurting him.
“I tried my best to knock him out but I had problems with my legs somewhere after third rounds; I cannot move well,” said Pacquiao. ” I had muscle cramps … and hurting too much.”
Pacquiao experienced several episodes of leg cramps during his intense outdoor training at the Mount Hollywood Hiking trail in Griffith Park of Los Angeles. Alex Ariza, his conditioning coach, asserted that Pacquiao’s nutritional intake has nothing to do with the cramping leg muscles that his student was experiencing. For Ariza, “such can happen to athletes, even to those who engage high intensity training”.
“Pacquiao has done more than what he could do to keep up his preparation at the top level,” said Ariza days prior to fight night. “What you will see is a Pacquiao who is more twice stronger than what he was in his previous fights.”
For Pacquiao, a daily training regimen thereafter would just address the issue of frequent cramping of his leg muscles.
“I will continue to run and do some exercises even during my days of work for Congress,” said Pacquiao who is currently serving as congressman for the lone district of Sarangani, Philippines.
But, medical experts said otherwise.
“Pacquiao should consult a competent medical doctor who has deeper understanding of that said issue,” said Dr. James Han, a Pacquiao fan who has watched the fight live at the MGM Grand Arena.

“His tendency to develop leg cramps was known several days before fight night and that should have been addressed,” said another medical doctor, Nelson Park, who came along with Dr. Han.
Both doctors practice medicine in Los Angeles, California.
On the other hand, Brian Livingston, a Nike Outlet manager at the Groves Branch of Los Angeles and one who religiously ran with Pacquiao since the latter kicked off his training in Los Angeles early last April, said Pacquiao’s legs’ tonicity is great even as he pushes his legs to run even more to nearly off his limits (sic).
“I have not engaged running with anyone who is as tenacious as Pacquiao; he suffers cramping of his legs muscles sometimes but he does not give up,” said Livingston. “Yeah, he is extremely a tough runner and the tonicity of his legs is beyond question and I am truly impressed of his leg muscles; they are like rocks. His discipline is great. He derives a lot of strength from his lower extremities. And also he has incredibly amazing stamina.”
“I admire him (Pacquiao) who takes no chance but perseveres pains just to get things done,” said Livingston who believes in the rythmic pace of energies while conditioning one’s body in solitude, such as running.
Livingston said “Pacquiao’s energies seem drawn from the earth’s vibration and critical pathways of synergy into his own subconsciousness.”
“That’s what makes Pacquiao himself “a great force” to marvel,” Livingston added.
