    "His punches now are sharper and harder than before. We’ve been training together for years and I can say it based on actual experience," said Fernandez, who suffered a cut on his mouth during the punch mitts session at the Fortune Gym on Tuesday.

    Several times during the punch mitts session, Fernandez was dazed due to non-stop pounding from the Pinoy boxing superstar.
    "I was accidentally caught with his left upper cut. His punches were controlled but coming from someone like Manny Pacquiao, you’d really be hurt," Fernandez said.
    Fernandez believes that Pacquiao’s barrage of powerful punches will eventually break down Floyd Mayweather’s defence.

    The unbeaten welterweight Mayweather (47-0, 26KOs) faces eight-division champion Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38KOs) in Las Vegas on May 2 in the richest fight of all time.
    "Mayweather has not fought in his entire career a fighter with so much power, speed and a fearless heart like Manny Pacquiao. His defence would be shattered,” Fernandez said.

    Meanwhile, Pacquiao was unperturbed by reports that Mayweather’s camp was bribing his prospective sparring mates.
    "It’s okay. I’m not bothered. Coach Freddie (Roach) had already hired a few sparring partners who are Mayweather’s look-alike,” Pacquiao said.
    "During the fight, there’s no other guy atop the ring except the two of us. I know what to do. And that’s what we’re practising now," Pacquiao said.
    Pacquiao vowed to pursue Mayweather relentlessly from pillar to post, adding that "He can run but he cannot hide."

    I just watched the DLH-Manny fight, and he has really slowed down quite a bit. He's also become a bit more predictable and his head movement is not like it was. I don't think he see's the punches coming like he used to. That is typical with aging fighters. I think Manny would have had a great chance at beating Floyd in 08/09, but he just isn't what he was.

    Both fighters have aged and slowed down, the difference is Pacqiauo has always been one dimensional.

    Good to hear something positive about Manny for the first time in a while rather than the "he's totally shot and been cherry picked by a guy I said was terrified and would get annihilated by him right up until the fight was signed" comments.
