Pacman expressed his enthusiasm to face the Argentine Boxer saying “I am excited. The fans are excited. Malaysia is ready. Let’s get on with this fight,” in an article posted by sports.abs-cbn.com.
He also said that age does not matter for him and he still wanted to be a champion again. “I don’t think about my age. My motivation going to this fight is I want to be a world champion again,” Pacquiao told ABS-CBN’s Dyan Castillejo.
Boxing experts emphasized this fight will be a dangerous one for the Filipino superstar because the Argentinean boxer is riding a hot streak in his career with Matthyse publicly announcing he is aiming to knock out the boxing icon in a push to punctuate the legend’s career.
This is the 69th fight of Pacquiao (59-7-2,38 KOs), and the first under new head trainer Buboy Fernandez, who replaced legendary coach Freddie Roach.
