LOS ANGELES — Manny Pacquiao and younger brother Bobby showed tremendous forms yesterday when they wound up their training at the Wild Card Gym for separate fights this week cheered by their adoring fans.
Today, they will lead a big convoy including friends and mediamen that will travel to Las Vegas for the 5-hour travel for their respective big bouts.
Manny Pacquiao weighed in at 134 pounds yesterday.
Two days before Manny?s fight on Nov. 18, Bobby, who also weighed in at 134 Saturday, will take on Hector Velazquez at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in a 12-round defense of his WBC Continental Americas super featherweight title.
?Manny is in tremendous shape,? said Macka Foley, an assistant of trainer Freddie Roach at the Wild Card. ?He?s unbelievable.?
Bobby did not spar yesterday, but did torrid sessions on the bag and the mitts.
?I?ve done more than 100 rounds of sparring for this fight,? the younger Pacquiao said in Cebuano. ?I?m feeling great.?
If victorious, Bobby hopes to challenge Mexican Humberto Soto for the WBC interim super featherweight title.
?That?s the fight we are looking at,? said Rex ?Wakee? Salud, who manages Bobby.
