It looks like Manny Pacquiao’s faithful boxing fans spoke soon when they started chance their yap about Pacquiao dominating his sparring partners. Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s coach, said that Pacquiao took some hard shots, throughout the training session with Shawn Porter and Urbano Antillon.

Roach didn’t talk about which sparring associate did the most injure, but it was almost certainly the stronger Porter. He’s having troubles with his protection again. I’d detestation to think what would be occurrence if this Miguel Cotto in their throwing heat at Pacquiao as an alternative of just some sparring partners.

Roach would almost certainly need a huge spatula to peel Pacquiao off the canvas every time that Cotto would squash him. It looks like Roach is to bring in former lightweight champion Jose Luis Castillo to fight with Pacquiao next week. That’s an strange choice of a sparring partner if I ever hear one. Castillo hasn’t done much in the precedent four years after losing his WBC lightweight heading to Diego Corrales in 2005. For kicks, Roach is contribution $1000 bucks to some one of the sparring partners that can bang Pacquiao to the canvas. I’d like to get a part of that action, but Roach would have to give up being a tightwad and loosen his purse a lot more

So, I’m actually concerned about Pacquiao taking these big shots from his sparring partners. I deliberation he was so huge that he didn’t get hit. Here Pacquiao is in front of his best opponent by far as his victory over Juan Manuel Marquez last year. Going from clash next to Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton to a bout next to Cotto on Nov 14th is going to be huge jump up in conclusion.
