ARTHUR Villanueva got a huge confidence boost just days before his fight this weekend after getting tips from one of the best boxing trainers in the world today, Freddie Roach.
Villanueva had two rounds of punching mitts with Roach last week and another two rounds this week, which gave him additional motivation for his World Boxing Organization (WBO) Asia-Pacific bantamweight title defense against Juan Jimenez this Sunday (PHL time) in ?Philippines vs. Mexico? at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.
?Yes, it has given me huge motivation. Especially when coach Freddie told me that I was doing great on the mitts and that I had good movement. It has given me more courage,? the 27-year-old former world title challenger told Sun.Star Cebu.
