Hollywood star Robert Duvall visits Manny Pacquiao

Boxing News World

Multi-awarded Hollywood actor and director Robert Duvall was at Wild Card gym recently to watch current pound-for-pound king and seven-time world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao train.

Duvall, who starred in famous films The Godfather (I and II) and Apocalypse Now, praised the Filipino’s attitude and fearlessness in the ring. “He’s very focused in a tranquil way… very very focused... he’s so loose, so relax… I don’t (know) if he gets nervous, but it would seem that he knows how to turn a negative into a positive to make it work for him…,” said Duvall.

Pacquiao will defend his WBO welterweight title against Ghanaian Joshua Clottey at Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, Texas on March 13. Hollywood stars Mark Wahlberg, Jeremy Piven, Steven Seagal, and Jean Claude Van Damme had also visited Pacquiao in training.
