He is not going to be the fan favorite Saturday night at the Alamodome in San Antonio. Nor is he the betting favorite in Las Vegas sportsbooks. But many people believe IBF jr. featherweight world champion Manny Pacquiao (37-2-1 with 29 KOs) he poses a serious threat to featherweight king Marco Antonio Barrera.
Pacquiao is a southpaw with power and trainer Freddie Roach promises Manny will take it to Barrera. “We are planning to fight at a high pace. You cannot let Barrera, the veteran, dictate the pace of the fight. I think Manny can knock Barrera out, but we are ready to go all twelve rounds.”
