Aminado si eight-division champion Manny Pacquiao na si WBC at IBF world welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. ang pinakamabigat niyang laban sa kanyang career.

Haharapin ng 42-year-old na si Pacquiao ang walang talong si Spence sa August 21 sa T-Mobile Arena sa Las Vegas, USA. “Errol Spence is a very difficult fight for me; perhaps the most difficult of my career, but I have been an underdog my whole life. I am used to that. It is why I work so hard,” wika ni Pacquiao. “But the love and the prayers of my fellow Philippine citizens and Filipinos around the world sustain and inspire me. I fight for the glory of our nation and for underdogs everywhere.” Sinimulan na ni Pacquiao ang kanyang Los Angeles training camp kahapon kung saan tumakbo ito sa Pan Pacific Park bago pumunta sa Wild Card Gym para sa kanyang boxing workout sa tanghali.

Una nang nag-ensayo ang Filipino boxing icon sa pangunguna ni Buboy Fernandez sa General Santos City bago pumunta sa USA upang makasama si Freddie Roach na natuwa sa kondisyon ng Pambansang Kamao pagdating sa Wild Card. “If this is how Manny hits with jet lag, I may need to get new gloves with thicker padding for our next sessions. He was incredibly sharp for his first day. He hit hard with good power,” anang Hall of Fame trainer. “After all these years, I’m still amazed at the great condition he’s in when he comes to training camp,” dagdag pa nito. “After travelling around the world yesterday, he put in a full day here – mitts, speed bag, shadow boxing – the works. The best part was at the end when he lifted his shirt to show me his six-pack and said, Freddie, I’m still here,” kwento ni Roach.
