Freddie Roach — “You know Barrera is making a little noise out there, so we’d like to get the chance to fight him also.”
Pacquiao — “The training camp is good for me. It’s my trainer’s idea to close the gym for me while I am training. I like the idea that nobody can distract me!”
On a co featured boxing card this September 10th, former adversaries will fight in different bouts.
Boxing monarch Erik “El Terrible” Morales, 48-2,34 KO’s, will battle ’96 U.S. Olympian Zahir Raheem, 26-1,18 KO’s and The Destroyer Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao, 39-3-2, 30 KO’s, will face heavy-handed Hector Velazquez, 41-10, 30 KO’s. Morales and Pacquiao are slated to be showcasing some of their best and awesome stuff to wet the public’s appetites for a certain rematch if both of them succeed in winning and the boxing public is truly hoping for that to happen.
Boxing fans still have visions of their war that occurred on March 19th of this year and watch this card with anticipation. With that said, RSR is going to further probe these Super Stars before they step into the ring at the Staples Center in LA for a closer look at them with each participant to be shown on HBO. Here’s a preview on what you can expect.
When Pacquiao meets up with another identical thirty knockouts out on his record fighter in Velazquez, they’ll met with punchers gloves, which can spell out cuts from the sheer volume of brutal warfare; taking on enormous risks for banking early on the foreseeable Erik Morales fight down the road. Mentally Manny’s very focused and ready, but this observer couldn’t help to think that somehow it has to weigh on him that in the first Morales fight he was not granted the same privilege of his sporting punchers mitt. Flipside to all of that are Erik’s chief supporting fans imploring him to steadfastly start kayoing opponents like he used to do.
What will happen on September 10th?
Freddie Roach has closed and tossed the key in locking his gymnasiums doors from the crowd’s public workouts in preparing The Destroyer Manny Pacquiao away from distractions. Only his entourage gets to see him now.
It is imperative to let it be known that at the start of this presser we had intended Erik to be a major part in this. Fans should note that Erik during this teleconference lost contact on signals from his cell phone where he’d been in the high mountainous terrain ranges, and therefore could not speak with us today.
GDS: Should your opponent Hector Velazquez goes the full distance with you, how would that be of benefit to you?
First the experience I had in stamina (with him) I think, for the Erik Morales fight.
What Manny feels for Roach is very genuine, and then says, “He’s like my father and we trust each other.”
Roach says they’re not taking Hector Velazquez lightly in the least. He also compares his style similarly to Erik’s in that he’s a very game and formidable opponent. Adding, “Hector Velazquez is a similar style as Erik, not to take him likely, so we know there is no rematch (with Morales) if we don’t defeat Velazquez.”
For the much fanfare out there with questions about Manny, he’s said to play some baseball back home. With his favorite action fight to date being Diego Corrales Vs Jose Luis Castillo.
He’s assured all of his boxing fans to be on the lookout for his right hand in this upcoming Velazquez fight, as something to be looking forward to seeing.
Manny exclaims, “It’s easy to stay focused because I have a tough opponent. So my mind is very focused for September 10th.”
Roach assures everyone putting those feeling uneasy at ease by saying, “He (Manny) took a little time off to rest awhile, we like to get him rested and get him out of the pool hall a little bit. Manny we’re working with him in the gym and everything is going well.”
Pacquiao — ”My training is 100 percent for this fight and no distractions.”
On the Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales, Manny says, “I think they’re both good, but they have a difference in styles.”
Manny The Destroyer Pacquiao’s gift to his fans were one of reckoning, saying, “For me, I want my fans to make them happy for every fight.”
