Pacquiao trains in Gen San!
With everything believed to

Boxing Organization welterweight
belt-owner
Manny
Pacquiao
and his team move his training
camp to General Santos City in
the hope of transforming him to
perfect shape for his coming fight
with Australian title pretender Jeff

hometown down south on

pupil of 16 years has had enough

month since the camp opened a

and at the same time allow us
time to review where exactly we
are now and find solution where
we missed,” Roach explained of

Roach added the volume he
frequency will be back to heavy

The38-year-old winner of
11 world titles in eight weight
divisions only did eight rounds of
skirmish with three sparring mates,
including three with recently-

Jr., only 23, but already the no.9
ranked by the World Boxing
Council.
