LAS VEGAS, Nevada — There was mixed celebration and awe after Manny Pacquiao, training in a new, steamy gym as temperatures hit 37.8 degrees Celsius here Wednesday, made the 126-lb featherweight division limit three days ahead of the scheduled weigh-in.
It was indeed a baffling twist as Pacquiao, still two pounds over when he left Hollywood for this gaming capital Monday, did not work out on Tuesday.
There was a feeling among his handlers that Pacquiao would at best still weigh 128 lb after the two-hour workout at the exclusive IBA gym in middle Las Vegas Wednesday.
