The whole world is about to witness boxing history as Pacquiao vs. Marquez face off for the third time on November 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Dubbed as the “best fight of 2011,” Pacquiao will defend his WBO (World Boxing Organization) Welterweight World title against the great Mexican fighter Juan Manuel Marquez.
But this fight means more to Pacquiao than just finally putting an end to the storied rivalry between him and Marquez. But more than anyone else, he knows that victory won’t come easy, it will in fact come with a lot of pain – literally, that is.
Aray ko, Galing ko
Pacquiao subjects himself to an intensive 8-week training designed to push his physical limits before a major fight. A regular day starts off with sprint work at the break of dawn; followed in the in the afternoon by a grueling three-hour workout with heavy bag work, sparring, plyometrics, shadow-boxing and jump-roping; he cools down with 1,400 stomach crunches and in true Pacquiao fashion, he ends every training session with a prayer. Of course, the training varies according to the strength and style of his opponent. In the case of Juan Manuel Marquez, Pacman adjusted his usual training period to 10 weeks – a testament to how much Pacquiao respects his opponent and values the result of what promises to be the best fight of 2011.
Even the toughest of men, including Manny Pacquiao, cant help but cry out and say “aray!” But being a true champion, he takes pain as a badge of honor; as a sign that he has completed a day’s worth of rigorous training, a sign that he’s a step closer to winning another championship belt. For him, every “aray” highlights his own determination, strength and resilience – for Manny Pacquiao, “aray ko, galing ko.”
