Pacquiao Sparring Session to Start Early

With Manny Pacquiao getting into shape sooner than expected, his sparring sessions may also be moved forward. Unbeaten welterweight Shawn Porter and lightweight David Rodela arrived late last night from the United States to serve as Pacquiao's spar mates in his training for Shane Mosley. The Mosley vs Pacquiao fight will happen on May 7, 2011 on MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The two boxers flew in ahead of Top Rank chief honcho Bob Arum, who is slated to arrive early this morning in time for the media briefing scheduled in the afternoon. Barely a week into formal training, Pacquiao has built up his stamina and found his rhythm, much to the delight of chief trainer Freddie Roach.
Pacquiao, who took advantage of the training break to shoot scenes for his television program Show Me Da Manny yesterday, is slated to have his first sparring session next week. Gauging from Pacquiao's progress, however, it isn't far-fetched that Roach will also adjust the original schedule, which calls for four weeks of training here before moving over to his Wild Card Gym in Hollywood for another four weeks.

Freddie Roach Now 4-Time Trainer of The Year

He is certainly no joke, as what one boxing trainer suggested. Winning his fourth BWAA Trainer of The Year Award, Hall of Famer Freddie Roach have certainly etched his name alongside his mentor, the great Eddie Futch, as one of the most revered teachers of this brutal sport of boxing. Manny Pacquiao may be his prized ward, but his methodology of the Sweet Science has produced a long list of champions and elite contenders. And at his current state, he will certainly be producing more. Roach’s run in 2009 kicked off with Britain’s Amir Khan winning decisively against aging legend Marco Antonio Barrera. These were followed by huge wins Pacquiao and rising star Guillermo Rigondeaux. 2009 also made history for Roach as his star pupil Pacquiao went on to win seven titles in seven different weight classes, a feat no other boxer has achieved. Pacquiao is also named BWAA’s Fighter of The Year (2009) and Fighter of the Decade. Such achievements will tell you what kind of trainer the former pugilist from Dedham, Massachusetts, is.But Roach’s approach to the boxing is not only limited to the sport. Notable MMA fighters such as Tito Ortiz, Anderson Silva and BJ Penn have trained under Roach’s tutelage. His job is no joke, considering he trains his fighters while battling his own bouts with Parkinson’s disease. Roach is the epitome of a guy whose will is unbreakable and whose soul unconquerable. Never did he ceased his existence and watched on the sidelines as tremors in his body make is difficult for him to function. Instead, he wills himself against it.“My doctors tell me that someday it would affect me where I can no longer function as well as I do,” Roach said. “Until that day happens, I am going to work my ass off.” Congratulations to Coach Freddie Roach, 4-time Trainer of the Year, All-Time Great!
