In connection with fight vs Mosley world welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao’s first two days in the Baguio City training camp more than made the grade in the eyes of his chief trainer Freddie Roach.
Roach said Pacquiao did road work at Burnham Park Monday and at the Sta. Lucia hilly Heights subdivision, near Team Pacquiao Headquarters at Cooyesan Hotel yesterday.
Like Monday, Pacquiao did the mitts with his trainer for seven rounds after doing calisthenics, punching the heavy bag, double end ball and speed ball, routine parts of the training regimen he and conditioning coach Alex Ariza line up at least in the first week of building up.
Ariza, like Roach expressed satisfaction with what he saw in Pacquiao’s 15-round jog-run routine at Burham Park and a 25-minute ascend-descend workout at the steep Sta. Lucia mini-mountain.
