GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Manny Pacquiao is widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, but he's an underdog in his December 6 fight against Oscar De La Hoya because De La Hoya is bigger than Pacquiao.But Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, told me today that he thinks the size difference between the fighters has been overblown, and that speed will win this fight.
"He's handling the bigger sparring partners well," Roach said. "When I saw how he handled the bigger sparring partners, I was very pleased."
Roach said Pacquiao weighs 151 pounds right now, he'll easily make the 147-pound limit for the fight, and he'll walk into the ring at about 150 pounds.
"We have him on a diet with a lot of protein to keep his weight stabilized," Roach said. "He's been about the same weight in camp. We didn't do any weightlifting to make him bigger because I believe speed wins this fight. His body fat is 6% and his weight is really good."
Roach said he expects De La Hoya will weigh about 160 pounds when he walks into the ring, adding, "I think speed wins this fight, not size. It's not an issue at all."
