Pacquiao Considers Fight With Mosley Not Easy


Manny Pacquiao said in his latest interview that he would treat each round as if it were the most important fight of his career. Every round is difficult, said Pacquiao. Training, the hard part, resumes today at the Wild Card Gym in Holywood. The number of sparring rounds will gradually increase as each day gets tougher. He said he will spar with several more boxers at Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles. I gave Shane Mosley an even chance to win despite Pacquiao’s methodical 12-round demolition of Margarito last Nov. 13 in Texas. The 39-year-old Mosley can’t be taken lightly because the three-division, five-time world champion still has the speed and the power to punish the eight-division Pacquiao.

The naturally bigger Mosley also throws a lot of punches just like Pacquiao, who has been installed a runaway 9-1 favorite to hand the American a second loss in his last three fights. Pacquiao was asked to comment on suggestions that Shane Mosley, his challenger, will be dangerous only in the first six rounds. After three weeks in Baguio, Pacquiao drove down to Manila last Friday, and was supposed to spar on Saturday somewhere in Metro Manila. They let me skip training for a day because they were already impressed with what they saw in Baguio. I really worked hard in training the past three weeks, he said. I feel that Im still hungry and thirsty for the championship.The Pacquiao vs Mosley fight will be held on May 7, 2011 on MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Best Blogger Tips
