Boxing: Pacquiao prepares for Marquez fight

BEVERLY HILLS: Filipino star Manny Pacquiao will not have to worry about suffering from jet lag in the run up to his fourth fight against Mexican dynamo Juan Manuel Marquez.

Pacquiao has said he is making major changes to his preparations this time for the December 8 non-title fight at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, by sparring at the southern California facility.

“No days will be wasted travelling between training camps in the Philippines and California,” said Pacquiao. The Filipino will not make the mistake of underestimating Marquez when they square off in the non-title fight.
