?I have no problem with it and his sparring mate could not last for about 80 seconds and I?m sure they are not Manny Pacquiao,? added Roach.
Roach earlier predicted a knockout win for his most prized ward and their training has focused more on speed, sharpness and timing, as they cut down the number of sparring sessions for the eight weight division champion.
Roach said Pacquiao?s multi-dimensional game will be his ace when he faces Marquez on November 12 for the WBO welterweight crown at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
And the knockout seems to be the target against Pacquiao?s arch nemesis that will face each other for the third time with the first two going the distance.
Pacquiao?s strength and conditioning coach, Alex Ariza, said the end may come even earlier than the sixth round.
?It will be earlier than you would think,? said Ariza after supervising Pacquiao?s morning ritual at the Teacher?s Camp here.
Ariza has been around Pacquiao since the David Diaz fight and has introduced ways for the Filipino champion to add up in size without sacrificing his speed.
?He is more complete now. He has much more speed, power and explosiveness,? Ariza said.
?Marquez may be a bit smarter and more cautious now. But at the end of the day that will not win you the fight,? the conditioning coach also said.
