MANILA, Philippines — In less than a week, Manny Pacquiao has gone from average to amazing and all it took was a change in scenery, the Filipino fighter’s Canadian adviser said on Friday.
“Manny hasn’t missed a single roadwork,” said Koncz from Los Angeles yesterday, pleased that his boss has honored his promise of devoting the remaining three weeks to training.
“I spoke to him on the flight from Manila to here and he assured me that he’d be completely focused in the final weeks of training,” said Koncz. Pacquiao is booked to face Antonio Margarito on Nov. 13 in Dallas and from being uninspiring during his training stint in Manila, the pound-for-pound king has apparently calmed the nerves of his handlers.
During his four-week camp in Baguio and Manila, Pacquiao missed several morning roadworks and a couple of afternoon gym sessions because of the freaky weather and the weekly road trips from the City of Pines to the lowlands.
Still, Pacquiao is not totally giving up on some sideshows.
After he works out Friday afternoon, a private plane will take Pacquiao to Las Vegas to spice up a political rally of Nevada Sen. Harry Reid, a close friend of his promoter Bob Arum.
“We will leave Los Angeles at 5 and we’ll be back here by 8:30 p.m.,” said Koncz.
