Manny Pacquiao says that the desire to box and compete at the highest level remains. However, there are real fears related to his return at the age of 46.
One of the largest boxing in history vacuums his gloves and returns with the challenge of WBC Wyttereight Wakwagi on July 19. Pacquiao returns to his spiritual home at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas after he bowed to T-Mobile Arena before.
In 2021, Pacquiao was to fight Errol Spence Jr. In the unification of the WBA and IBF title. Spence withdrew because of two significant car accidents and left Pacquiao in Lurch.
Losing from Spence for two world titles to a huge extent foreign arena could then be acceptable to Pacquiao. However, the way of switching and the need to find a exchange had to make the loss to be abolished.
Yordenis Ugas, then the number one claimant, got a phone call. Pacquiao couldn’t get up.
Cuban, an amateur star with over 100 victories, managed to cross the line with a unanimous decision. If Pacquiao won, PBC would resurrect the fight of Spence.
As it turned out, Pacquiao remained to think about his future. The eight world champion decided that it was enough and moved on.
Pacquiao vs Barrios
Four years and a failed return to politics later, the former Senator of the Philippines Pacquiao returned. It looks much more coarse around the edge, but still has rapid and flashy training movements to go to an immediate recognizable legacy.
These ingredients can go a long way, for example, survival of the door, especially in the case of an unjustified title of the shot against Mario Barrios.
But you just have to ask Mike Tyson if the body can do what the mind wants to process.
Tyson returned at 58, twelve years north of the place where Pacquiao is currently standing. His training films were more cruel than ever and looked in a huge form.
In the face of Jake Paul, YouTube, devoid of world -class boxing skills, Tyson’s decision stopped him when the first bell rang.
Throwing a ten-second combination in the gym is good and good, but it is different when you have an opponent who rushed to you so that you have to move through a 120-second session.
Despite the fact that Paul gave Tyson two -minute rounds, “the worst man in the world” no longer fulfilled his nickname. He did not have what it was necessary to be a fraction of his ex -self.
Ryan Hafey
After four years of release, Pacquiao is in the same situation. His performance will give a huge indication of how all the return of the last six years will go ahead.
If someone can do it, Manny Pacquiao can, but this is a high order.
By becoming the oldest welterweight champion against Keith Thurman during his last visit to MGM, Pacquiao hopes a familiar racial environment.
He returned with Freddie Roach on the wild Gym card in Los Angeles and puts everything in one more run.
The return of the Pacquiao ring coincides with its introduction to the International Gallery of Sław this weekend. However, defeat against Barrios would take on a significant gloss of gaining this year.
If he loses, it’s farewell. If he manages to win, he wants Gervont Davis.
Determination
The WBN fighter in the 2000s assured that he was grateful during the announcement that she was grateful.
“Fire, determination and willingness to work tough are still there. I still like to run in the mountains,” said Pacquiao.
“Not every warrior has this feeling. It’s a blessing because I experienced so many great fights in my career and I’m still here. I came back.
“For boxing fans around the world, thank you for accepting me again. I hope that on July 19 this fight will be fun for everyone.
“Everyone here will work tough in their training camp so that the fans are satisfied with July 19.”
One of the greatest competitors in the history of boxing, a former master who ruled in a fly weight before raising a super welter weight in a super welter, aims to overcome his own record by six years.
This is the level of expectations, not only from his fans, but from the man himself.
Everything is in place for Rocky Story Fairytale for Pacquiao. He just has to hope that his body can still earn this check.
