Manny Pacquiao has shared his take on Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s latest Instagram video.
The American fighter recently posted a video of himself chopping wood using an axe.
Mayweather was supposedly channeling his inner “Rocky Balboa” in training as he prepares to face off against Pacquiao in May.
Pacquiao joked that Mayweather could be preparing to cook something, hence the wood chopping.
“May sasaingin yata siya,” he said in an interview on Bandila. “Baka magluluto siya kaya siya nagsibak ng kahoy.” (Maybe he’ll cook rice. Maybe he’s going to cook, that’s why he’s chopping wood.)
As for his work out, Pacquiao has been doing 1,300 repetitions of abdominals to strengthen his core.
“Ginagawa natin ‘yun pang-conditioning. Para maging malakas ang kamay natin… maging matibay ang stamina at abs natin,” he said. (We do that for conditioning. So we’ll have stronger punches… better stamina and stronger abs.)
Pacquiao will also begin four to six rounds of sparring against two training partners on Tuesday morning in LA.
He said the sessions will help him get used to handle Mayweather’s elusive style of fighting.
“[Ang] focus sa gagawing strategy and techniques, head movements and footwork,” said the 8-division champion. (The focus will be on strategy and techniques, head movements, and footwork.) — Dennis Gasgonia with a report from Dyan Castillejo, ABS-CBN News
