Amir Khan to spar again with Manny Pacquiao in LA ? | Pacquiao Vs Cotto Fight

Amir Khan has his routine at the Wild Card Gym, Freddie’s Roach’s Hollywood training base. He runs, he goes on the pads, then he spars in the afternoon. The plan is laid out by Roach, thousands of miles away. Before his last two fights, Khan has had his mobile phone confiscated by Roach so that the many friends of the British fighter leaves him in peace. Right now, that mobile phone is a direct line of instruction from The Philippines to Los Angeles. Khan revealed in the last few hours that he speaks daily with Roach who gives him his training routine. Roach is in Baguio City where he is in camp with Filipino idol Manny Pacquiao , in phase one of their training ahead of the November 14 meeting with Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas . Pacquiao and Roach return to the Wild Card in eight days’ time. Khan said yesterday that he eagerly awaits the return, next week, of Roach and Pacquiao to the heat of LA. He also insisted that there is no better way for him to prepare for his next...

MANNY PACQUIAO – KRISTA RANILLO “AFFAIR” : TRUE OR TRUTH?

ARE they or aren’t they? It’s said even Jinkee Pacquiao is now asking this question to find out what the real score is between her husband Manny and actress Krista Ranillo . They were first seen together in Hong Kong but Krista vehemently denied that they have a relationship and said they just bumped into each other there by chance. But now, they were seen together again when Manny gave away relief goods to Ondoy victims. “Bakit kailangang lagyan ng malisya ‘yun?” Krista told a friend. “Kasama ako ni Manny sa filmfest movie niyang ‘ Wapakman’ at nagpatulong siya, so I went to help him. Kung gumagawa ako ng kalokohan, bakit kasama ko ang daddy ko (actor Mat Ranillo ) doon sa relief goods distribution?” Wonder what Director Dominic Zapata , Krista’s boyfriend of four years, say about this rumor. And do we see Ara Mina heaving a sigh of relief now that Manny is no longer being linked to her but to Krista, who’s her rival over the affection of Allen Dizon in the new movie “Marino”...

Unable to run, Pacquiao trains in the pool instead

BAGUIO CITY -- Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao has taken up swimming to make up for the road work he has lost to the weather. “For the last eight years I’ve been trying to get Manny in the pool,” Roach told the Philippine Daily Inquirer yesterday. “With the rain here we finally got him in the pool.” Pacquiao has missed days of road work due to intermittent rains here. The experience may have not been pleasant for Pacquiao but overall, Roach believes his prized ward has acknowledged the positive effect of it. “He swallowed a lot of chlorine but he learned to swim quite quickly,” said Roach. “I think I actually liked it overall because when he started to work out he realized how hard it was.” Pacquiao’s date with the pool last Friday lasted for 26 minutes. Roach expects Pacquiao to be sore in the muscles and that, added the trainer, comes with the territory. “It’s like weightlifting but it doesn’t make you tight and slow so it’s a really a wonderful workout. I think ...

ESPN Magazine Body Issue Pic Photo Picture: Manny Pacquiao - The Pacman is included in October ESPN Magazine Body Issue. Freddie Roach was quoted: " Manny has two advantages over his opponents. He's in better shape, and he'll take a punch. He averages 3,000 sit-ups and 44 sparring rounds per day; he runs about eight miles every other morning, uphill. I don't know what it is, but there's something inside of him. When he gets hit, he taps his gloves together as if to say, "Here I come." He gets after an opponent after he takes a shot, as if he liked it.

Cotto vs Pacquiao: Miguel Cotto Tampa Florida 1st Week of Training - Pacquiao Video

Cotto vs Pacquiao : Miguel Cotto Tampa Florida 1st Week of Training - In fulfilling the first week of their training in Tampa, Miguel Cotto trains to full steam for his defense of the WBO welterweight championship against Manny Pacquiao on November 14. Cotto's trainer, Joe Santiago , said they were satisfied with the work of the first two sessions of sparring. "We are in our second home and everything goes to plan. The boy (hired to spar with Cotto) is an excellent resource. He knows to do his job very well," said Santiago. "He is left-handed and fast as Pacquiao ... looks like a lot," he added. "If there is any difference, is that he has more defense than Pacquiao. Cotto has done well (with the left-handed position of the rival). We were already working with some sparring we had in Puerto Rico before coming here." In the coming weeks, according to Santiago, the workload will intensify until about the last week of October, when the day approaches to ...

Pacquiao mourns Nazario's death

MANILA, Philippines - Manny Pacquiao carried a heavy heart to the gym and went through with his normal routine despite the death of his former business manager and mentor in life , Rodolfo “Mang Rod” Nazario , yesterday. Nazario passed away at 8:50 a.m. at the Perpetual Help Hospital in Las Piñas where he’s been confined days after celebrating his 74th birthday last Sept. 12. He died after a year-long battle with lung cancer. Nazario’s family was at the hospital when the final bell rang on the luminous figure in Philippine boxing. Pacquiao learned of Nazario’s death through a text message from a mutual friend, Gerry Garcia, who along with Moy Lainez, Lito Mondejar and Nazario formed part of the original Team Pacquiao. Pacquiao was inside his hotel suite in Baguio City, just hours after doing his morning run, when he received the sad news. At around 1 p.m., he went to the second floor of the Cooyeesan Hotel and trained in the boxing gym. Roger Fernandez, younger broth...
