By Jun Medina, Special Correspondent
LAS VEGAS: Trainer Freddie Roach said on Tuesday (Wednesday in
Manila) that he is quite confident that his prized fighter Manny
“PacMan” Pacquiao will stop British world junior welterweight
champion Ricky Hatton, probably in the middle or late rounds.
“Ricky is a great, strong fighter,” said
Roach in an interview at the Mandalay Bay Casino Resort where
Pacquiao and his training team is billeted, about half a mile from
the MGM Grand Arena. “But Manny will find a way to knock him out
before the 12th round.”
