LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Manny Pacquiao thrilled to twin triumphs Wednesday. He totally beat the weigh scales, had a hearty lunch, then watched the San Antonio Spurs go up 2-0 in the NBA Western Conference semifinals.
Pacquiao, who has picked the Spurs over the Los Angeles Lakers, weighed 125 lb, one lighter than the featherweight limit, to close training under steaming conditions in this gaming and entertainment capital.
But glad as he was, Pacquiao will not like what WBA-IBF featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico has claimed that the Filipino boxing celebrity would be stepping into a trap when they clash for the world boxing featherweight kingship here Saturday night (Sunday morning in Manila).
