Four days removed from flying around the world to Los Angeles, eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KOs) had the head gear on and sparred four rounds with two taller and younger southpaws at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, California on Thursday.
The small audience that observed the session included two people assigned by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) to collect a blood sample following his workout - the second time VADA has tested Pacquiao this week. The Filipino ring icon shook off jet lag to train two to three hours daily at Wild Card every afternoon while starting most mornings with runs at either Pan Pacific Park or running straight up the hills of Griffith Park to the iconic Hollywood Sign, followed by a series of 1,000 sit-ups.
