Roach: Manny ready to fight



HOLLYWOOD—Freddie Roach was so pleased with Manny Pacquiao’s form Saturday (Sunday in Manila) that he made the declaration two days earlier than usual.

“He’s 100 percent ready (to fight),” said the Hall of Fame trainer, who usually gives his evaluation on the Monday before Pacquiao closes training camp at Wild Card Gym and proceeds to his Las Vegas fight.

Pacquiao wraps up his preparations in the gambling capital anew when he tries to dethrone World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Timothy Bradley on April 12.

Actually, Roach gave Pacquiao the thumbs-up sign as early as Thursday, when they had one of their best mitts sessions ever. Pacquiao will spar for three or four more rounds Monday before winding down training at 11 a.m.

The brief session is intended to loosen up Pacquiao’s muscles while he and Roach review their strategies for the rematch with Bradley.

Pacquiao’s convoy, including the luxury bus bearing his image, will head for Las Vegas later in the afternoon.

Roach gave credit for Pacquiao’s fine form to strength and conditioning coach Justin Fortune.

“I swallowed my pride and he (Fortune) proved to be a better fit,” said Roach, who had a falling out with the former Australian heavyweight in 2007 over money matters.

When Roach dispatched former conditioning trainer Alex Ariza last year, he patched things up with Fortune, who now runs a gym bearing his name on nearby Sunset Boulevard.

Fortune took over Pacquiao’s training for his bout against Mexican Jorge Solis in 2007, when Roach was tied up with Oscar De La Hoya.

Fortune, however, downplayed his role in Pacquiao’s newfound speed and power.

“Manny has good muscle memory, I am just bringing back the old training methods,” said Fortune. “His conditioning is very good.”
Fortune, though, is not dismissing Bradley entirely. “This is not a cakewalk for Manny,” Fortune said.

“He (Bradley) has a big heart and never-say-die attitude. We are preparing hard. You don’t take somebody like him lightly.”

He said Bradley is raring to prove that he deserves credit for his widely criticized split decision victory two years ago.

What gives Pacquiao the edge, according to Fortune, is his speed and power—“a deadly combination.”

Fortune also said WBO light welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov, who knocked down Bradley in the 12th round last year before losing by a close unanimous decision, oozes with power but can’t match Pacquio’s speed.

Some boxing analysts predict a Bradley win via decision while a lot of bettors give Pacquiao the edge over Bradley.

Anybody willing to make a prediction?

I'll go out on a limb and say Pacquiao via stoppage (TKO) on the 8th.

[leodawesome]

Bradley might box and run. Its an easy decision win for him if he do that and if Manny failed to cut off his space.

[baludoy]

i'm hoping it would be pacquiao who'd be left standing in the ring once the boxing bell tolls w/ finality but i fear/think his victory would be achieved at the expense of a very big physical sacrifice from manny

Kinakabahan ako para kay pacman this time. Matanda na siya at iba na ang perspective niya sa buhay.

I still think Manny can win this fight but he should retire na after he wins this one and their "supposed" part 5 fight with JMM. Hindi na lalaban yang si Floyd imho.

But there is no mystery to Pacquiao’s diminishing firepower: he’s the first and only fighter to have won titles in eight different weight divisions, and each time he’s moved up he’s faced a man whose natural fighting weight is greater than his own.-allen barra of the daily beast

is this still the same case for bradley? mas mabigat ba naturally si baradley kasi parang sing height lang naman sila

[Retz]

Bradley is a natural welterweight whereas Pacquiao move up in weight from lower weight division. Noticed that most of the Pacquiao win at the welterweight division is either tko or decision win.

Pacquiao now owes P2.65B in taxes - Henares



MANILA, Philippines — WBO Welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao now faces P2.56-billion in tax deficiencies after Sunday's match, Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Kim Henares said.

In an interview over dzMM on Monday, Henares added up Pacquiao's guaranteed $20 million purse from his rematch with Timothy Bradley to his alleged back taxes of P1.1 billion from 2008 to 2009 and interests.

"December 2012 'yun, remember, may 2013 may 20 percent na 'yun at ngayong April, so may addition na six [to] seven percent po 'yan," she said.

The People's Champion can settle the liabilities in the United States where his last fight was held and organized.

Update: Palace: BIR chief not offending Pacquiao, spoiling victory

Henares said, however, that the US Internal Revenue Service demands a 40 percent tax contribution from Pacquiao's earnings, while the BIR only asks for 32 percent.

"Kung gagawin niya 'yung tama, palagay ko wala ho tayong makokolekta doon kung gagawin niya 'yung tama pero kung hindi pa rin niya gagawin 'yung tama, may problema na naman ho siya," she said.

Henares also reminded the boxer to document his US tax settlements and report to the BIR to avoid being levied twice.

Pacquiao has been embroiled in a tax trouble with the BIR and the US Internal Revenue Service.

Related: Henares expecting 32% from Pacquiao's next purse

Last Thursday, Henares advised Pacquiao in jest not to think about her in the ring during his April 13 fight and wished him luck. She also said she does not intend to nag him about his tax woes.

"Hindi naman ho ako nagre-remind sa kanya, tinatanong lang ako [ng media]. Kung tama ang gagawin n'ya, baka wala naman siyang babayaran sa Pilipinas kasi baka mas mataas ang babayaran n'ya sa Amerika," Henares said. —Camille Diola
