Despite a long drive down from Baguio City under cover of midnight darkness, Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao lightened up the eyes of those who watched his workout at the Gerry Penalosa gym at the Market Mall in Mandaluyong, Monday with what former two-time world champion Gerry Penalosa described as an awesome performance.
Pacquiao worked twelve rounds on the mitts, ripping combinations that made the forearm of trainer Freddie Roach sore while occasionally cracking him with shots to the body pad. Pacquiao wanted to continue but Roach said he couldn’t stand the pounding any longer and called it quits.
