Manny has commenced rigorous practice to face Floyd Mayweather jr in the most awaited fight of the decade
Los Vegas: Boxing star Manny Pacquiao seems to start a comprehensive practice session sometime in August. The special training session, which will particularly focus on bulking up the Filipino’s body, is purposed for a most-anticipated bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr., on a yet-not-decided date.
Most possibly, the fight may be taken place sometime in November this year. Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum is working on fixing a date for particular fight. Actually, the world is eagerly waiting for that fight in near future.
Meanwhile, it is known that the expected August training camp will more concentrate on bulking up the fighter’s body. Normally, the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion keeps up a weight of 145 pounds. But, in a special occasion like this where he has to fight Mayweather, Pacquiao wants to bulk up his body to 153 pounds, says his trainer, Ariza.
Moreover Pacquiao will undergo a set of other rigorous training sessions in order to sharpen his body as far as possible. Because, he has to take on not a normal fighter, but former pound-for-pound king Mayweather.
Nevertheless, a fight against Mayweather is a thing yet to be set at all. Of course, Arum is working on this. However it is not yet finalized that there will be a fight in November itself. As well, the date is not also decided.
Though, there is another chance for a fight against Miguel Cotto, if a Pacquiao and Mayweather fight is not possible. In such a fight, Pacquiao will have a high hand as he had defeated Cotto last November to claim WBO welterweight title.
