Countdown to showdown.
Manny Pacquiao arrives in San Antonio today (Tuesday morning in Manila), his body ready to take all the punches from Marco Antonio Barrera, his fists raring to hit their target and his mind all set for the big fight many believe will define his boxing career.
Six days into the blockbuster event set at the Alamodome in Texas, Pacquiao is oozing with confidence, raring to face Barrera before an expected huge Mexican crowd.
“He?s in tip-top shape,” according to Justin Fortune, the Australian former Orient-Pacific Boxing Federation heavyweight champion tapped to handle Pacquiao?s conditioning upon his arrival from Manila to the US in late-September.
