Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?

[Killa From Manila]

I beg to disagree. FYI, boxing is a way of life in the Philippines

...since Manny came out to the spotlight, right?

It has been a way of life in the USA, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Europe, etc. And these countries keep producing boxing legends all the time. Who knows, maybe Pac is opening the door or maybe he'll retire along the road and boxing won't be heard of once again in the Phils, we'll see.

Have you heard about boxers Pancho Villa, Ceferino Garcia and Flash Elorde (cousin of Flash Gordon)?? Just to name a few...

Exposure, exposure, exposure.

Philippines is not that bad considering it's 10,000 miles away from a boxing mainstream (USA).

Latest update:

“Phenomenal” is the only word conditioning expert Alex Ariza and the handful of those present at the Wild Card Gym Wednesday could use to describe Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao’s performance in doing 15 rounds non-stop on the punch mitts. Ariza said Pacquiao didn’t even take a break for a sip of water.

He said trainer Freddie Roach couldn’t take the extended punch-mitts session any longer. Ariza described the workout as “unbelievable man, not even a sip of water and Freddie finally said I quit.”

What was even more amazing is that Pacquiao “did five-and-a-half miles of mountain running with only his pet dog “Pacman” able to keep pace with Manny as everybody else turned around and started running back downhill, including myself” said Ariza.

The initial plan was to do ten rounds on the punch-mitts but Pacquiao increased it to twelve and then pushed Roach to go fifteen.

Pacquiao followed up his explosive punch-mitts performance with his usual routine of shadow boxing, working the heavy bag and the double-end speed ball among others."

That Manny Pac is no mortal. He should drink some of that water.

Sounds more like he's been swallowing some of Roach's piss

Manny Pacquiao may well be the first man EVER to go 12 rounds on the mitts.. I just love how the pac journalists over exagerate EVERY little thing to make it seem as if pac man is some kind of inhuman force.

Sure, its not. To be heard of someone really has to make an impact and many boxers from other countries manage to do so. How many times do you hear of someone other than Pac when it comes to boxing? Quite different from Mexican, Puerto Rican, American, and European boxers who you will hear EVERY YEAR about a champion in different weight classes, a rising star, legends, etc. Like I said, Pac could be opening the door or maybe after him boxing is unheard of back in the Phils. Let's see what happens.

And if I was working on Hatton's corner I would publish an article that said that Hatton is SuperMan in disguise and does 500 pound benchpress, etc. Come on SaddoBoxer, are you really that gullible?

Funny comment.

I've heard PAC having Mike Alvarado as one of his sparring partner...

Whoa! PAC has top notch champions and prospects as sparring partners in Jorge Linares, Urbano Antillon and Mike Alvarado...

Hope Hatton is having sparring sessions with Joe Calzaghe... in order to get used of quick hands and fast combos...

Who's that new guy name "Tito" from Philly? I heard he's the biggest Pac's sparmate.
