To prepare for the biggest guy he’s ever faced in the ring, Manny Pacquiao will utilize the same training techniques he did to beat Puerto Rican prize fighter, Miguel Cotto.

That entails two months of intensive training which will be undertaken in the mountains of Baguio and in the Wild Card gym in Los Angeles with trainer Freddie Roach. Pacquiao hopes the procedure will put him in good standing against the hard hitting and aggressive Margarito.

On September 20, training camp begins at the Cooysean Hotel, where a built-in ring was constructed to accommodate Pacquiao and his team while preparing for his WBO welterweight bout against Cotto last year. Returning to the location will inspire memory and ritual.

Pacquiao’s coaches are planning to come to the Philippines one by one, beginning with conditioning coach Alex Ariza on September 13, followed by Freddie Roach and then sparring partner Julio Cesar Chavez.
