Manny Pacquiao found a hard-hitting sparmate in Israel Vasquez but liked what he got from the Mexican slugger.
A source from the Pacquiao camp said the reigning IBF super-bantamweight king was pleased with his bout with Vasquez, a top contender in the superbantamweight category whose fighting style resembles that of Marco Antonio Barrera.
Pacquiao, 24, is in the thick of his preparations for his keenly-awaited clash against Barrera on Nov. 15 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas and Vasquez proved to be the man he had been looking for all this time.
