Master Coach Freddie Roach gave respect and compliments to adversaries? trainer, Naazim Richardson and his charge, Sugar Shane Mosley during a telephone conference on Wednesday afternoon.
?Naazim is a very good trainer, he?s experienced, said Roach:? He knows how to get to his fighters. He brings out the best in people ? he did that with Bernard Hopkins. I think he?s a great trainer and it?s a great challenge for me to come up with a better game plan than he does.?
?Mosley brings speed, power and he has a good team behind him,? continued Coach, Roach:? I think we have a big challenge ahead of us. Manny is motivated and he?s motivated for a reason because of Shane Mosley. That means he respects him also. That?s what excites us about this fight. The first five rounds of this fight are very critical.?
Does Manny Pacquiao really feel the same way? He just recorded an album. He is going on Jimmy Kimmel Live show on Thursday and there is more…
?That?s my life, to keep busy, ?said congressman Pacquiao who is scheduled to take on Shane Mosley on May 7th at the MGM grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas:? I like to do a lot of things in my life. This is how I motivate myself in this upcoming fight. I?ve worked very hard for this fight.? And when asked about his music aspirations Manny said: ?No, I?m happy with what I do. If I?m not happy I won?t do it.? Advertisement
Indeed as I had lunch at Manny?s favorite Thai restaurant, which by the way, will be closed from May 4th to 8th in honor of Pacquiao?s fight, I found out that multi tasker is also booked for a concert, Manny Pacquiao After fight thanksgiving concert that is scheduled for May 10th, 2011 on a super Tuesday, only three days after the fight with Sugar Shane Mosley. The concert is to begin at 8:00 pm and is to take place at the Felix Event Center in Azusa Pacific University, located at 701 Foothill Blvd in Azusa, California. Tickets priced from 45 dollars to $150 are still available for more information call 818 748-7521or 213 359-1945.
Is this concert represents how much Pacquiao thinks about his opponent? No, it?s just Manny. Last time in Las Vegas after destroying Miguel Cotto, Manny Pacquiao staged a concert the same night at Mandalay Bay pool.
