Hatton's sparmate
Erislandy Lara, a heavy-handed former world amateur champion from Cuba, has been tapped by the camp of Ricky Hatton to simulate Manny Pacquiao’s moves in preparation for the fast-approaching super showdown on May 2.
Hatton revealed that he did six rounds with the left-handed Lara when he began sparring last April 2 at the IBA Gym in Las Vegas, a private gym that also hosts Pacquiao’s workouts whenever he is around for a fight.
Lara has been described by Hatton as a “tough southpaw” and, like Pacquiao, he boasts of a sneaky and lethal left hand, the punch that has enabled him to rack up four straight wins with three knockouts since turning professional in July 2008.
“The twenty-five year old Cuban defector has only four fights, but in the two this writer has seen, Erislandy Lara is a prospect to watch. Lara against limited opposition, has shown nice hand speed, left-handed power, and technical soundness. His maturity and presence surpass the level of his competition,” wrote boxing scribe Ricardo Lois.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
I see SB reaching 1000 posts on this thread alone. Another thousand if Pac inflicts the worst beating ever on Hatton.
What does PAC eat during training and before his fights? Is there a nutrition diet he follows? Does he get a performance boost from eating exotic foods?
