Pacquiao steps up the pace in training

Pacquiao steps up the pace in training

Monday, February 01, 2010

He only has seven weeks to train for his March 13 title defence against Joshua Clottey of Ghana but Filipino champion Manny Pacquiao assured everyone that it would be enough to get him geared up for the showdown at the Cowboys Stadium in Texas.

Now on his second week of training at the Wild Card gym in Los Angeles, Pacquiao shrugged off concerns about the build-up for Clottey being shorter than his usual eight-week camps.

“No (it's not a concern), training is good. Right now I have pretty good movement. I am throwing good combinations and I will be ready for the fight on March 13," Pacquiao said.
 
The 31-year-old Pacquiao has started sparring last Friday, thoroughly dominating a bigger Bryan Brooks.
