PACQUIAO TO KO MOSLEY IN 5TH ROUND: ARIZA

MANILA, Philippines – If you ask Manny Pacquiao’s conditioning coach Alex Ariza, the Filipino boxer has all the goods to overcome “Sugar” Shane Mosley in the early rounds of their upcoming match.

For Ariza, Pacquiao’s “strength, endurance, speed, and power” will help him beat Mosley at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 8.

“This fight will not go the distance. I hardly ever predict fights. Freddie Roach is better at that then I am, but you will see many advantages for us in this fight, but the biggest one you will see will come in the fifth or sixth round and beyond,” Ariza wrote in his MPBoxing.com column.

Pacquiao has improved his training and discipline, Ariza added.

“My fighter Manny Pacquiao is training as hard as he possible can in the environment he will actually fight in. He is eating and building muscle everyday,” he said

Pacquiao will be defending his World Boxing Organization welterweight crown when he faces Mosley. The pound-for-pound king will attempt to improve his 52-3-2 record, while Mosley boasts of a 46-6-1 card.
