Pacman revs up Baguio training
By Artemio Dumlao, Philstar.com, October 13, 2010
BAGUIO CITY, Philippines – Boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao’s training in the highlands gets tougher now as it enters a higher level less than five weeks before he faces Mexican Antonio Margarito in Arlington, Texas.
The next two weeks will be critical for the boxing champion turned congressman.
“We’re taking everything to the next level and his training including his diet will be enhanced,” said conditioning coach Alex Ariza after their six-round closed door sparring session Tuesday afternoon.
This will also mean that Pacquiao will be doing work twice as heavy as before, especially with the speed ball, speed drills and biometrics training, Ariza added.
Ariza showed confidence that Pacquiao will be at 100 percent a week before D-day on Nov. 14.
“He is still around 60 percent but in the next two weeks, Manny will be making his move from sparring to conditioning,” added Ariza.
Tuesday was a usual training day for Pacquiao who finished sparring with a taller Michael Medina who was all praises for the Filipino ring icon. Read More >>>

On November 13 the world will watch as WBO welterweight champion, Manny Pacquiao fights known cheater Antonio Margarito in a match many hope is a warm-up to the eventual Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather bout.
While this isn’t the fight everyone was looking forward to, Margarito is attempting to do his part and build hype for an event that clearly lacksexcitement. Speaking with reporters, Margarito told one and all that he believes Pacquiao and his trainer Freddie Roach are genuinely scared of him and his illegally wrapped hands fighting abilities.
Maybe he's right, though. Pacquiao, who would be part of one of boxing's biggest paydays if he signs on to fight Mayweather, has far more to lose in this fight than Margarito does.
Check out Margarito’s confident words in the video below.

Zyrene Parsad prepares to sing Phil. National Anthem in Pacquiao-Margarito bout
When up-coming singer Zyrene Parsad renders her rendition of the “Lupang Hinirang” on the November 13 fight of Manny Pacquiao against Mexican Antonio Margarito, such privilege can either rise her to eventual stardom of become the first artist to be jailed for violating a new law prescribing the right way to sing the National Anthem.
Parsad whose only credential was a third place finish in a singing contest conducted by a television station, was chosen by Pacquiao himself after hearing the young entertainer sang the National Anthem during a gathering of businessmen held recently in a posh Makati hotel.
House Bill 465, which is sure to become a law after recently hurdled the third reading in the Lower House, will impose jail sentence to anyone who will deviate from its original marching tempo in singing the National Anthem. Any violator will also be fined no less than P100,000.
While admitting she feels nervous going the center-stage at the huge Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, site of the fight for the world welterweight championship, the 24-year-old songstress promised though to do it right. Read More >>>

Emanuel Steward gives Pacquiao much respect
By Brad Cooney, Examiner.com, October 11, 2010
I recently talked to the legendary boxing trainer Emanuel Steward, who currently trains heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, Miguel Cotto, and Andy Lee. Steward is a legend in the sport of boxing so his words have merit and should be taken seriously.
In our conversation, Steward talked about the amazing accomplishments of Pacquiao and how he has impacted the sport. Winning seven division world titles is not something that happens every day in boxing. Emanuel spoke to me about these accomplishments a few days ago, "What he has done in this sport is amazing, nothing short of it. He has been able to climb up the weight divisions and fight the best and beat the best."
Steward also expressed great disappointment that the boxing fans are not getting the fights that they want to see, and he took a shot at the promoters for putting together fights that they want to see, and not what the fans want to see, " Hopefully in 2011 the fans will get to see some fights that they want to see. Manny Pacquiao Vs. Floyd Mayweather needs to happen, and so Read More >>>
