The camp of reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao said the Filipino ring icon is now near to his best form and will slow down on their training next week. Last Tuesday, he already completed a 12-round sparring session and tomorrow (Thursday) he is going to spar for another 12 rounds,” he added. Pacquiao (59-6-2 win-loss-draw record with 38 knockouts) had a four-round sparring session each against Australian George Kambosos Jr., Mexican Adrian Young and Filipino Sonny Sonny Katiandagho last Tuesday. “I believe with Manny’s latest condition, he is going to score a knockout win inside the five rounds,” he added. Team Pacquiao will leave on June 24 for Australia and spend one more week of light training Down Under.
