It has been 16 years since Manny Pacquiao fought his next opponent, Mario Barrios, a substantial difference in any field, and more so in boxing, where it matters a lot. That is the main concern of many in the return to the ring of the native of General Santos, Philippines.
And it is no small thing that people as close to him as Bob Arum, promoter and personal friend of ‘PacMan’, think and say so, bluntly: “He’s an incredible person, Manny Pacquiao, and if anyone can do it, it’s him. But I’m really worried, given his age and inactivity,” said the Top Rank owner who described the Filipino as “The best fighter I’ve ever seen”.

From retirement to a world championship fight
Are the Indiana Fever the Pick To Win the WNBA Title This Year?
At 46 years of age, Pacquiao is coming off a four-year layoff and will star – all things being equal – in a bout like Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, but with a real boxer, who although not to the liking of people like Ignacio Beristain, does represent a risk because of the simple factor of the age difference.
In the Filipino boxer’s camp, they know this well, and it seems that they have prioritized certain factors in their training to be able to cope with adversity, if it arises, so a short statement from a member of Pacquiao’s team to Elie Seckbach says a lot about how they see the fight in which the WBC welterweight world championship will be at stake.
Pacquiao prepares for a ‘marathon’
Justin Fortune, Pacquiao’s strength and conditioning coach, and Buboy Fernandez, Pacquiao’s manager, were present at the scene where Seckbach was present to collect statements, but it was an assistant trainer who ended up giving him the scoop, when questioned about the strategy and his prediction: “It will go 12 rounds,” he said succinctly.
So from that statement it can be assumed that his own team does not trust that ‘PacMan’ can finish the fight early, so instead of a 400-meter race, they have gone on to think of a real marathon. The question is whether Pacquiao will have enough gas.

Dados de estreia do Flamengo no Mundial mostram como Pedro se esforça para não sair do time e ganhar mais minutos
A estreia do Flamengo no Mundial de Clubes revelou dados interessantes sobre a participação de Pedro, que ganhou voto de confiança de Filipe Luís e tem tido mais minutos em campo para “afinar” a parte técnica e física. Embora seja o atacante que atingiu a menor velocidade máxima, 28,1 km/h e percorreu a menor distância em campo (pouco mais de 7 Km) contra o Espérance, o camisa nove foi o jogador que mais finalizou a gol, três vezes. Com um gol nas últimas dez partidas, Pedro tem evoluído e entregado o que o técnico Filipe Luís pede em campo, apesar do leve jejum. Mas suas atuações ainda não dão certeza de que está no ponto ideal para encarar o Chelsea, amanhã, pelo torneio da Fifa. No último jogo, apesar da falha na frente do gol, entregou intensidade suficiente para se […]
Bazball vs the best: Bumrah ready to rock England
The recent Test retirements of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have left India without two legends of the game - or OGs as Jasprit Bumrah has called them - for the series in England, but the tourists will be able to call upon the best all-format bowler in the world.Few, if any, would suggest Bumrah is not that, with his jerky run-up, peculiar angles, swing, control, and array of slower balls and yorkers helping him amass 205 wickets in 45 Tests at an average below 20 and sit atop the ICC bowling rankings in the longest form. Add in over 500 wickets in white-ball games across domestic and international cricket and the 31-year-old has become a legend, or OG, himself. And the bad news for England's 'Bazballers' is that he is feeling fit ahead of the five-Test contest that starts […]

Chris Sale tosses near complete-game shutout as resurgent Braves clinch series against Mets
ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves feel good about their chances of winning whenever Chris Sale is on the mound, so imagine how they felt after staking the reigning Cy Young Award winner to a 3-0 lead in the first inning Wednesday against the New York Mets.Ronald Acuña Jr. homered on the first pitch of the opening inning. That solo shot was all Sale needed as he didn’t give an inch, continuing the dominant stretch of pitching he’s enjoyed by throwing a near complete-game shutout in 5-0 series-clinching win against the NL East-leading Mets.Advertisement“I feel like a broken record about him at this point,” Braves first baseman Matt Olson, who homered in the seventh inning, said. “He’s incredible, he competes his a— off every time he’s on the mound. And you saw what he can do out there tonight.”Sale’s bid for […]
Repercussão da estreia do Fluminense contra Borussia Dortmund facilita internacionalização da marca do clube
O bom desempenho do Fluminense na estreia da Copa do Mundo de Clubes, anteontem, rendeu elogios de jornais do exterior, que apontaram como injusto o placar final de 0 a 0 contra o Borussia Dortmund, e também de técnicos estrangeiros. Se o título ainda é um sonho difícil para os clubes brasileiros, atuações de fôlego diante dos grandes clubes da Europa já são, por si só, capazes de ajudar na tão desejada internacionalização da marca, avaliam especialistas em marketing esportivo.
