Fighting words always help.

“Boxing coach Freddie Roach said that Manny Pacquiao needs no more than three minutes in order to dispose of Chris Algieri and that he can do right after the opening bell,” reports Dino Maragay on Philstar.com.

Roach made the prediction as they wrapped up training in General Santos City over the weekend. He said, “Manny only needs one round to keep his crown.”
