Manny Pacquiao Impressed 2 Boxing Sparring Partners in Their First Session
The Filipino boxer turn politician Manny Pacman Pacquiao empresses his two sparring partners Alexis Rocha and Maurice Lee in their first session.
Several left-handed boxers fight with Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao at the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles. These include Alexis Rocha and Maurice Lee who admire the 42-year-old fighting senator’s ability in boxing.
The two boxers were given the opportunity to compete against Manny Pacquiao, the famed Filipino boxer. Lee, who sparred with Floyd Mayweather in 2015 in preparation for Pacquiao’s fight, believes Pacquiao can knock out Errol Spence.
“He (Pacquiao) is sharp. I predict a decision win over Spence, possibly a knockout, said Lee who has 12 and 1 record in his career.

Meanwhile, Rocha, a 5-foot-10 southpaw who has sparred with unbeaten three-division champion Terrence Crawford, unified light welterweight champion Jarmain Taylor, and four-division world champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, believes Pacquiao has the ability to make Spence suffer.
He believes Pacquiao can stay up with Spence, despite the fact that he indicated Spence isn’t just an opponent. He was surprised that the eight-division world champion could still demonstrate fresh steps, according to him.
“Honestly, it (sparring with Pacquiao) is different,” Rocha (17-1 with 11 knockouts) told ESNEWS. “It’s his awkwardness, the way he throws his punches. It’s like what the hell is happening. Where are they (punches) coming from.”
Rocha was impressed by Pacquiao’s “extremely quick footwork” and claimed he’ll learn experience and wisdom from the eight-division world champion in the following days after his two-round fight with Filipino Jameson Bacon on June 19.
