Filipino national treasure Manny Pacquiao was reported “back to normal” yesterday after a brief bout with the flu and proved it by taking on the killer uphill run at the Alta Visa subdivision in the morning and capping it off with a workout at the RWS Gym of Rex “Wakee” Salud in the afternoon going seven rounds on the punch mitts.
Pacquiao’s chief-of-staff Jake Joson told Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today that renowned trainer Freddie Roach had wanted Pacquiao to do his morning run on the flatland of the IT Park opposite the Waterfront Hotel where Team Pacquiao is staying but that Pacquiao “insisted on running at Alta Vista.”
Joson revealed that they are now tightening up the training camp so that Pacquiao could “focus one hundred percent” on his rematch with Marco Antonio Barrera on October 6.
He said Pacquiao’s wife Jinkee who together with their daughter Mary Divine Grace has been with him since last Wednesday was leaving for Manila today to attend to the needs of their two school-going young sons.
Joson stressed that beginning today there would be a 9:00 p.m. curfew where no visitors would be allowed so Pacquiao could go to bed early. He will resume sparring tomorrow even as the tempo of his training picks up.
Roach underscored the fact that “once you get Manny focused there is no better athlete in the world. Once he gets into training mode there is nobody better I’ve ever had. Manny’s work ethic is great.”
Roach was also pleased that with the strict security enforced at the gym fighter and trainer “now have some privacy to go over the game-plan” for the Barrera rematch. Roach said they went over “what’s going to work for him (Pacquiao) in this fight and what to watch out for on Barrera’s side.”
