MANILA, Philippines—Manny Pacquiao has brought in a couple of big southpaws to prepare him for his fight against WBC and IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr.
The two sparring partners said they impressed with how the Filipino slugged it out with them.
Maurice Lee and Alexis Rocha both stand at 5-foot-10, half an inch taller than Spence, and the two pugs were pushed to the limit in their simulations against a fighter who’s more than a decade older than them.
“Just done with sparring with the legend himself Manny Pacquiao and he’s sharp,” said Lee, 29, in Team Pacquiao’s YouTube clip. “It’s the first day and he’s already sharp.”
