Lightweight (135 pounds) fighter David Rodela (15-3-3, six knockouts) has been a longtime sparring partner for eight-division titlist Manny Pacquiao, a WBC junior middleweight (154 pounds) king who will defend his WBO welterweight (147 pounds) belt against three-division, five-time champion, Shane Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs) in a Showtime pay per view televised, Top Rank Promotions man event on May 7 at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.

Rodela told FanHouse that he is moving into his first home, which Pacquiao helped him purchase.
