Pacman-Larios fight all set on Skycable Premium Service
TWO-time champion Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao comes face to face with Mexican buzz Oscar (Cholo) Larios of Mexico for the second time in a news conference as they meet the world press for their 12-round mano-a-mano super-featherweight championship in Manila.
The bout is schedule on July 2, at the Araneta Colisuem.
This early, world champion Oscar dela Hoya warned Pacman not to take Larios lightly, because "at 130 lbs. Larios should be stronger where he fits well with his height and heft".
Pacman's July 2 showdown with Larios is compared by media as crowd drawer, possibly bigger than the Ali-Frazier III "Thrilla in Manila" also held at the Big Dome about 31 years ago.
The duo earlier met on April 28 at the ABS-CBN Studio 10. Their third and last meeting for the bout is during their press conference before Filipino media men, possibly on June 26 at the Big Dome.
American trainer Freddie Roach described Pacman's current training as "going on sked, Ganado, sure to make Manny ready for Larios."
