Pacman's sparring partners are tall and tough

Manny Pacquiao marked Day One of his sparring sessions yesterday, did three rounds with Shawn Porter and found the young American light-middleweight a tough nut to crack at the Shape Up Gym in Baguio City.
Pacquiao found the 21-year-old Porter, a Golden Gloves champion in 1997, a little too heavy and a little too strong than expected. But give the Filipino icon a few more days of sparring and things will definitely turn around.
“It was a very good sparring,” said Team Pacquiao’s Mike Koncz.
“Shawn has got the power and although obviously he’s not of the same skill level as Manny, he can punch. And that’s good because that would keep Manny’s defense up,” said the Canadian adviser of Pacquiao.

If there is one guy in history that sparring does mean **** for, its Pac. Has there ever been anyone that you hear more sparring stories about? No one beats up on there partners more than Pac. I always thought it was ****** how he beats them up so much but he keeps winning so you cant complain. Its early so you cant take too much from this story but if time goes by and he still finds Porter too strong then it could spell doom because like I said, Pac is the one pro boxer that does go full out in sparring on most occasionsComment
