MANILA, Philippines – Manny Pacquiao might just go for the early kill against Antonio Margarito.
?Siguro aatake kami (We might move in) first and second (rounds),? said the Filipino pound-for-pound champion after a rain-soaked workout yesterday morning at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
?But it depends,? he said.
It may depend, of course, on how Margarito would come out of his corner as well because if the Mexican who stands six feet tall opts to slug it out early, then Pacquiao would never back down.
On his way out and into his brand-new SUV, after the 90-minute workout, Pacquiao said he felt fine.
?My condition, my body, my speed are okay although I feel I still need to work on my speed. I?m comfortable. I?m not slow. But there?s still work to be done on my speed,? he said.
?I?m okay with my sparring. I did 11 rounds the other day,? said Pacquiao, who gave himself a rating of ?nine-and-a-half.?
