Freddie Roach: Pacquiao is Pushing Already

Freddie was still at the Wild Card Gym when we talked this evening. Only five days into training and Roach reports that the concerns over late nights and pool games were of no consequence. Freddie filled me in on how James Toney?s injury was progressing along with how Virgil Hill was coming in the gym. When asked about the reports that Manny had not been training in the Philippines, his comment was short and sweet.

?That?s a lie. Just a week in right now and Manny is pushing already. He is hard worker. We had the press conference today. He looked great and is down to 130 lbs already. He is running everyday, we go to the mountains every morning. He is working very hard.?

?We did eight rounds with the mitts today and he had me sweating a little bit?
