Manny Pacquiao puts on a show

Los Angeles Times



Manny Pacquiao returned from a Wednesday-long nap Thursday and gave his trainer Freddie Roach a vigorous workout at Hollywood's Wild Card Gym.

Pacquiao spent 11 rounds sparring against two opponents, flashing his brilliant ability to charge an opening and deliver either a powerful left or right uppercut.

Roach was so giddy about the performance he dressed up two days before Halloween as Batman, complete with the rock-hard abs.

Not to be outdone, Pacquiao took off his shirt and showed his abs.

Two weeks and two days away from Pacquiao's welterweight title fight against champion Miguel Cotto, Roach announced, "Miguel, the superheroes are coming to get you!"

Pacquiao's intensity is picking up after Wednesday"s lengthy nap. The gym will be closed to any public and media access until media day, Wednesday. --Lance Pugmire
