I walked in to the Wildcard Gym today just before Manny Pacquiao came in to begin his daily grind.
Manny?s security chief, Rob Peters was busy at the front desk preparing Freddie Roach?s new mitts which will be used for today?s training. Preparing Freddie?s mitts is not really part of the job description of Peters at the gym. He was just requested by Freddie to fix the mitts in a special way today.
Peters taped the photos of Juan Manuel Marquez right smack in the middle of the mitts which is the target of Manny when he does the strategy session with Freddie.
Marquez? photos on the mitts are a surprise for Manny.
The surprise worked to the max.
As soon as Freddie lifted his mitts to begin the 8 round work Manny immediately broke to a huge laughter. He immediately knew that was his target.
Then he hit the mitts with a resounding one-two combination and the photos of Marquez came flying off.
What a way to start the training day!
