Pacquiao, though, didn’t seem to be bothered by the hits, opening himself up to barrages while leaning on the ropes as if to say he can absorb the best that his sparring partners can dish off. And to underscore that point, Team Pacquiao is planning in yet another beast of a sparring partner in Omar Henry, another Cotto clone.
“ the same build, same everything, same haircut; the guy likes to be Miguel Cotto,” said conditioning coach Alex Ariza of the sparring partner who is expected here within the week.
Real hitters there... If Pac can handle their power he'll have a great chance against Cotto.
I'm sure Porter and Henry won't go easy on Pacman, there's a $1k incentive if they KDed or KOed Pcman in sparring.
"Roach said anyone among Pacquiao’s sparring partners who could knock the hard-hitting champion down will get $1,000 — from his own pocket."

They're really trying to get Manny killed with this monster sparring partners. If Manny survives this training, then it would help him fighting Cotto now that he's used to guys bigger, stronger, and faster than Cotto.
Man, hopefully Pac survives.
If he does, he's ready for the big dogs in the division.
Omar is going to going in there to hurt Pacman, Cotto is his Hero.... he used to watch cotto fights all the time and they are really good friends.
Wow, you think Omar/Cotto would stoop that low?

Omar Henry is a beast and hes the perfect sparring for pacman great find cant wait to see 24/7 i wonder if Omar is gonna drop for that extra cash haha!
this is his chance to be popular. look at Porter, he is virtually unknown until PAC spar with him.
i think this is the reason too, sparring with pac gets some publicity
This guy is a Cotto clone and from what I heard from the scene his idol is Cotto. He fights like him, the style, the off-time counters, the plodding, stalking, ring-cutting manner. He is the perfect sparring partner for Manny. Hits fast and hard.
Wouldn't it be something if a Cotto clone manhandles Manny in sparring. Where 24/7 at?
I remembered seeing this guy fight, just not his name. He resembles Cotto in style more than Porter does.
I'm just surprised to see this because I heard he was Cotto's friend.
he's probably gonna give cotto inside info on pac.
