Pacquiao: don’t worry, I’m doing fine

He outclassed Jose Luis Castillo during their first sparring session on Tuesday at the Shape-Up gym inside the Cooyesan Hotel in Baguio. Jose Luis Castillo said that Pacquiao is so strong, his punches are incredible. A strong contender in the division. He can’t even see his left hand coming.

Legendary trainer Freddie Roach was very happy on what he saw at the sparring session of Pacquiao and the way Castillo emulates Cotto. “Castillo looked to be off a little bit and he’s never sparred as fast as anyone like Manny. But I like his movement because he moves similar to Cotto. Overall it was a great workout and I was very happy,” said Roach.

Pacquiao sparred with Catillo in three rounds. After that, he also sparred four rounds to Porter. Ariza said about his recent sparring “it was Manny’s best sparring yet and he’s on point and went seven rounds easily”.

Roach Denied the widely news at internet blogs and forums that Porter KO Pacquiao down. “No one has come close to flooring Pacquiao in any of their sparring sessions in their Baguio training camp. That’s a lie. I would know because I would have to pay. He’s getting hit but he’s never been floored ever. Not in eight years. The money is still in my pocket,” said Roach.

Roach has offered $1,000 for anyone among his sparring partners to send Pacquiao to the Canvas.
