Pacquiao said he had “a very good training camp” in his hometown of General Santos City and had sparred ten rounds before leaving for Los Angeles with trainer Freddie Roach and will resume training at the Wild Card Gym on Monday.

Pacquiao told Christina Poncher of Top Rank that “there is going to be a lot of action” in the Bradley fight and he will “answer the questions in everybody’s mind” about his abilities at the age of 37.

Roach told the Top Rank live streaming of the arrival that they had “a very good training camp in the Philippines” and Manny sparred ten rounds with Ghislain Maduma and Lydell Rhodes before leaving. Roach described it as “a very good day.”

Roach will bring in two additional sparring partners, including undefeated welterweight  Frankie Gomez who has a record of 20-0 with 13 knockouts, when Pacquiao resumes sparring at the Wild Card Gym.

The Hall of Fame trainer predicted an “exciting fight in which Manny will look for a knockout.”
