Lenny De Jesus, Pacquiao’s former cutman is now the trainer for Joshua Clottey, who is scheduled to face the Filipino icon this Saturday.
Having been a part of Pacquiao’s team before, he’s made it known that he knows Pacquiao’s weakness and will be able to exploit them. He also said that he trains his fighters to be prepared for 15 rounds and that Clottey will become more aggressive in his fight against Pacquiao and will go for the stoppage if given the chance. Read more about what he had to say below.
OS: What do you think about this fight with Manny. What does it mean to Joshua Clottey?
LD: This is a great opportunity for the African kid Joshua Clottey because you know as I say, you go around the world once and this for us, you going around the world with Manny Pacquiao. It’s a good opportunity to elevate him to another level. This is the time for us to shine, I think. I think we’re going all the way in this fight. I’m very confident, but not too overconfident because we’re fighting an icon and me standing here…Pacquiao is my favorite fighter of all time. You know he has accomplished something that nobody that nobody has. He has 7 world titles; the thing I love about Manny Pacquiao is that hes very passion and lovable all over the world and he’s the number one, not on the planet but the whole world, the whole planet, the whole galaxy because boxing if Manny Pacquiao decides to leave tomorrow, boxing will go down, die. There won’t be another Manny Pacquiao., it’s like my hero Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, you know he’s the heavyweight fighter of this era.
