As Manny Pacquiao's challenge to WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto on November 14 draws near, the IBO light welter champ and his trainer Freddie Roach spoke with members of the media.

Freddie Roach: Training camp is going very well. We had four really good weeks in Baguio. There were a couple of typhoons that came our way but we didn’t miss a beat.

We had really good sparring then we went back to Manila and it was intense because we had quite a few distractions so we had to break camp early. Now we are back at the Wild Card and Manny boxed great yesterday and had ten good rounds and he’s about 95% there right now and we are ready to go.
