Floyd Mayweather flashed a glimpse of the form he hopes to show against Manny Pacquiao in an open training session in Las Vegas on Tuesday.
Flanked by members of his camp and media representatives, the undefeated, 38-year-old welterweight champion went through a workout at his Mayweather Boxing Club.
It was his last scheduled public appearance before he fights the Filipino in the richest fight in history on May 2.
Mayweather’s workout was a light effort built for show and he did not do much talking as he worked the speed bag but occasionally offered words to his camp.
Surrounded by photographers, Mayweather delivered body shots to a sparring partner who wore body protection but did not throw any punches back.
The champion then worked a body bag and seamlessly went through a series of light exercises.
“I’ve seen him do things in the ring without looking. He just knows, and he has a sense and a feel for things,” said Mayweather’s strength coach, Alex Ariza who has worked with Pacquiao and says he cannot see the Filipino beating Mayweather.
Mayweather and Pacquiao faced off for a press conference last month but have since retreated to their separate camps to prepare for the bout.
Pacquiao will hold his own public workout on Wednesday in Los Angeles.
