    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Proving that last week’s bad weather was never an issue in training camp, Manny Pacquiao dominated his sparring partners Tuesday at the Shape-Up Gym in Cooyesan Hotel in Baguio City. Pacquiao sparred with highly touted former two-time world lightweight champion Jose Luis Castillo of Mexico for three rounds. Pacquiao is preparing for his upcoming world welterweight with Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto set for 12-rounds at a catch weight of 145lbs scheduled on November 14 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, Nevada.

    [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Chief trainer Freddie Roach, who at first seemed cautious when it comes to having Castillo as a sparring partner now expressed his contentment in having the Mexican inside the gym.[/FONT]

    Castillo is a big asset for Pac's preparation against Cotto. Kudos to Pac's camp and Roach.

    Castillo is washed up and done. At this point in his career that sparring is not a good indication of how he will do in the ring.

    Cottos addition of tattoos is baffleing me. The guy went from none to like 20 in a year.
    As far as the sparring, Castillo is so done, it means little really. Nothing is going to prepare Pac for Cotto other than sparring with guys to get used to the power of a true welterweight and Castilo was never a true welterweight.

    Now that I look at Pac's huge head, I really hope that this fight doesn't end with a cut from a headbutt, that would suck.
