PINABILIB ni multi-division boxing champion at kasalukuyang World Boxing Organization titleholder Manny Pacquiao ang kanyang sparring partner matapos na sabihin nito na ang Filipino boxing superstar ay hindi lang malakas kundi mautak din na boksingero.
Sinabi ng 5-foot-10 junior welterweight na si Stan Martyniouk na nagulat siya sa bilis na ipinakita ni Pacquiao sa kanilang sparring.
“He’s so quick, strong and tricky. You can hardly read his punches. No wonder, he’s the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world,” sabi ng Rusong boksingero na hinahangaan din ang mahusay na footwork ni Pacquiao.
Dinagdag pa ni Martyniouk na ilang beses din siyang tinamaan ni Pacquiao sa sparring subalit sinabi nito na, “It was good and I enjoyed it.”
Ang chief trainer at head coach ni Pacquiao na si Freddie Roach ay nasiyahan naman sa ipinakita ng kanyang premyadong boksingero laban kay Martyniouk.
“I’m very happy and satisfied with his performance in sparring. He is strong, moves well and based on what I saw today, I can say he knows how to adjust to the fighting style of Algieri,” sabi ni Roach.
