Manny Pacquiao is not worried about overtraining as his long-time trainer Freddie Roach has been, according to the Filipino boxing icon himself in a live phone interview aired over GMA's Saksi late Friday night.
"Ako kasi ginagawa ko lahat para 100 percent ang kondisyon ko (I just want to do everything so that I would be 100-percent in condition)," Pacquiao told news anchors Arnold Clavio and Vicky Morales.
The training, his most extensive in his entire career, has given him some new techniques that he could use on Juan Manuel Marquez, with whom he has a rematch on March 15 in Las Vegas (March 16 in the Philippines).
Pacquiao, a southpaw, hinted that he has some new techniques involving his right hand.
"Marami pang ibang technique and napaga-aralan namin," Pacquiao added.
With still a week for the much-awaited rematch, Pacquiao said he was very much ready.
"Maganda naman ang kondisyon natin (My condition is good)," he said. "Reding-ready tayo, 100 percent – physically, mentally, spiritually. At si Lord na lang ang bahala sa taas ng ring (I'm very much ready, 100 percent – physically, mentally spiritually. And it's up to the Lord what happens in the ring)." - GMANews.TV
