Pacquiao, whom we expect to undergo heavy training when preparing for a fight, reported to be complaining leg pain recently. But according to Pacman himself, it’s just a sore leg muscle. Pacman has been in preparation for his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title against Clottey on March 13. He hosted his final press conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday as his training camp began to wind down. Pacquiao even showed off his footwork, showing no signs of the reported leg injury.

Our Filipino champ is the overwhelming favorite against Clottey, a former International Boxing Federation (IBF) welterweight champion. The fight will take place at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas Texas. His coach said the only thing his fighter needs to be concerned about is the Ghanaian’s uppercuts.

One of Manny Pacquiao’s sparring partners, Steve Forbes, the 33-year-old boxer from Nevada said that he sees Pacquiao finishing off Joshua Clottey in nine rounds at the Cowboys Stadium next Saturday. Forbes said it did not take long for him to realize how strong Pacquiao is on the ring. Forbes of the WBO welterweight champion from the Philippines, who’s more known for his power than his technical ability. Many believe and actually seen that Pacquiao has a tremendous different and effective technique in boxing which brought him to victory.

Forbes, who’s got a 34-7-0 record, was to face Harrison Cuello in Connecticut last night, and before he left the Wild Card Gym the other day he said working with Pacquiao will serve him in good stead. Pacman’s coach has the same prediction with Forbes’.

Let’s wish Pacman another victory on March 13. Go Pacman and show the world again how blessed you are to be the Pinoy’s Champ.
