Well, at least in this training camp, the WBO welterweight champion from the Philippines hasn’t touched the basketball. Watch Pacquiao vs Bradley Fight.
Roach said it should help because he feels that Pacquiao playing too much basketball while training for a big fight has its side effects.
“Basketball on top of the workouts is just too much,” said Roach.
“That’s why he probably has cramps and so forth at the end of the camp,” he added.
Besides, he risks getting hurt, getting sprained – or even worse – inside the basketball court.”
Sometimes he gets so tired he skips running the morning after.
Roach blamed basketball for the leg cramps that Pacquiao experienced in his last couple of fights.
Pacquiao blamed the formal shoes he’d worn almost everyday since he became a congressman as the cause of the pain in his inner sole or the cramps during a fight.
He said he’s just not used to wearing formal shoes, and it may have caused the pain.
Roach is glad that in the meantime, basketball is out of Pacquiao’s agenda.
