Gorres and Amonsot were warmly greeted by conditioning coach Justin Fortune, who had helped train Z Gorres last year when he fought and TKOd Filam Glenn Donaire in the first round in the undercard of the Pacquiao-Morales I.

The two boxers did a 15-minute warm-up that included light shadow-boxing, skipping rope and stretching as ordered by trainers Freddie Roach and Villamor. This was immediately followed by a 4 round punchmitts for each of them, then a series of heavy bag and speed drills followed. Finally they did abdominal sit-ups to wrap-up their training regimen for the day.
