Manny Pacquiao is ready to begin the sparring phase of his training camp on Tuesday. His trainer Freddie Roach is expecting at least 150 rounds of sparring to prepare Pacquiao for the fight with Antonio Margarito on November 27 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Roach told GMA News that Glen Tapia is sidelined with a bad stomach ache and won't be sparring Pacquiao for the moment. Pacquiao will spar for three rounds with Michael Medina on Tuesday to brush away the early rust from not fighting since the March win over Joshua Clottey.
