Posibleng matakot ang kampo ng walang talong Amerikano na si Chris Algieri matapos na basagin ni eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao ang ilong ng kanyang sparring partner na si WBC No. 1 junior welterweight Viktor Postol ng Ukraine.

Bagamat kumpleto sa proteksiyon, hindi umubra ang gamit na head gear ni Postol matapos tumama ang kinatatakutang left straight ni Pacquiao sa ilong

ng sparring partner sa kanyang training camp sa General Santos City.

“The thing is I have my number one contender from Ukraine and he’s a very good boxer and he could beat Algieri right now. That’s why I brought him in as a number one sparring partner because he has that style. Manny broke Postol’s nose three days ago. But Postol’s okay. I train him. He’s a fighter, he’s a tough kid and he’s not going home,” kuwento ni Freddie Roach sa South China Morning Post.

Bagamat marami ang kumukwestiyon kung may natitira pang lakas ang 35-anyos na fighter matapos ang 63 professional fights, tiwala pa rin ang Hall of Fame trainer na lamang sa nalalapit na laban si Pacquiao.

“Manny Pacquiao is in great shape. Our strength coach came in 10 days before me. He started working him and by the time I worked with him, we were sparring 12 rounds in the mitts,” pagmamalaking sinabi ni Roach. “Pacquiao wasn’t even breathing heavy. His condition is terrific right now.”

Agad ding sinawata ni Roach sa pagsasanay sa pangambang matamo agad ng Filipino boxing icon ang peak condition nang maaga.

“That’s why I want him to come to Hong Kong. We weren’t going to come because the fight is more important. But the thing is that we are way ahead of schedule,” ayon sa six-time Trainer of the Year.
