Pacquiao Japan Opponent Comes In Over Weight

Pacquiao Japan Opponent Comes In Over Weight

Manny Pacquiao returns to boxing action this weekend in a fight that will gauge where he is at this point.

Many will be interested to see the speed and movement of Pacquiao now at 45 years of age.

As if he goes in with a young fighter like world champion Mario Barrios or even Ryan Garcia next, he will need to be still sharp.

He weighed in a short time ago — his opponent coming in over the contracted 69kg for the contest by .75 kg:

Pacquaio himself not even a hair over it at 0.05 kg which isn’t of any consequence.

Manny Pacquiao needs to be careful against this much bigger, much younger, unknown quantity to him this weekend.

Speed and movement.

Why take any chances.
