-- Freddie Roach should be glad that even before he hooks up with Manny Pacquiao the latter has been sweating it out in a local gym in General Santos City.

The reigning WBO welterweight champ was back at the gym yesterday, training under his bosom buddy Buboy Fernandez.

He was at his norm.

“Manny’s moving well. But I’m not surprised anymore. It’s like he never stops training. Except for timing, he never loses his power,” said Fernandez.

Pacquiao worked the mitts for six rounds and did everything he normally does in training. It lasted almost two hours, just enough to keep his adrenalin going.

Roach arrived in Manila last Wednesday and has yet to sit down with Pacquiao. But he has his hands on Amir Khan who’s in town training for his next fight.

Pacquiao was supposed to be in Manila for this week’s training but it seemed he had decided to stay in General Santos City with his family.

Unless something comes up, Pacquiao will train this week in his home province before heading to Baguio City on Sunday.

Official training begins at the Shape-Up Gym on April 16 or almost eight weeks before Pacquiao faces his challenger Timothy Bradley.

Undefeated in 28 fights, Bradley said he’s got everything figured out with still two months to the fight.

“I already know what to do, it’s in my head already. I’ve watched all the Manny Pacquiao tapes and am already dialed in,” he told www.fightsaga.com.

“Whatever he wants to do, I’m gonna know from the first round.”
