LOS ANGELES, California — Manny Pacquiao and his renowned trainer, Freddie Roach, share a winning formula, a secret weapon they’ve vowed to explode at the end of the week.
However, the two offered conflicting views in sizing up Juan Manuel Marquez, holder of the World Boxing Association (WBA) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) featherweight boxing titles.
The successful partners see two different fighters in Marquez, the double world champion whom Pacquiao will seek to dethrone on Saturday, May 8 (Sunday, May 9 in Manila) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Pacquiao sees a tender, sweet steak.
Roach is certain Marquez will be a tough disobedient, old meat.
