REIGNING International Boxing Federation (IBF) super bantamweight champion Manny Pacquiao leaves for San Antonio, Texas, on Monday where he will begin his rigorous training in preparation for his November 15 fight with classy Mexican boxer Marco Antonio Barrera.
His handlers said Pacquiao, who is two pounds over the 126 weight limit, would give Barrera a good fight and added that the bout between the two hard punching boxers would not last the distance.
Pacquiao is moving up the featherweight division in a bid to boost his stock and gain more international recognition.
