Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao's Form Excels After Sparring Break

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

HALL of Fame trainer Freddie Roach said eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao looks phenomenal after the Filipino southpaw resumed training at the Wild Card Gym yesterday.

Pacquiao did 16 rounds on the punch-mitts after a morning run at Griffith Park and indicated his one-week layoff from sparring had fired him up, just as Roach had expected.

However, there was no definite word on whether Pacquiao will resume sparring on Tuesday (Los Angeles time).

Roach asked him to skip sparring last week after 29 hard-fought rounds the previous week, concerned that his ward may burn himself out and leave the fight in the gym.

Roach needs to be careful and not burn him out. The days off will help him but have him spar minimum rounds for the next two weeks to keep him ready.

Roach needs to buy pac an aqua bag

A whole week break from sparring mid-camp ?

1-2 days break I can understand.

Maybe he has an injury, or his calves are a little sore.

Could be, both camps are sparring like real fights from what I hear. Sparring is overrated for experienced fighters, resting is underrated for them I feel, it's no different than any other sport. Guys get injured during the season in basketball, nothing life threatening just some rest does an old guy well.

i hope this is not the case.. roach could just be paranoid of manny over training. i know he's mention this a few times that he needs to pay close attention to manny's training so that pac wont over train. but one thing i find odd is pac stopped posting his normal runs, ab work out on his instagram page, so maybe he did have an injury??
