Now the contact work begins. Manny Pacquiao began his sparring today for the May 7 showdown with Shane Mosley. Boxing’s pound for pound #1 looked lean, which indicates his earlier training has been good. Many will remember Manny looking sluggish and disinterested when he was training in the Philippines for Antonio Margarito. None of that is visible in the training that is shown (note that the actual sparring is kept under wraps, probably exclusive to Showtime’s Fight Camp 360). If Manny keeps this up, Mosley is going to have all types of problems on May 7. Sugar’s trainer, Naazim Richardson, said last year before the Mayweather fight that he prepared Shane for everything, including Floyd growing fangs and turning into a dragon in the ring. He better have Mosley prepared this time for Manny turning into a buzzsaw.
