The former Olympian has never fought below 147 pounds since 2006, and under the contract he signed for the Pacquiao fight, a pound in excess of the catch weight is equal to a $1 million penalty.<br /><br />In contrast, Pacquiao appeared to be in control of his weight. Ariza said the Pacman currently weighs 149 pounds, although he goes down to 146 by the time he is over with his two-hour daily training at the Wild Card gym.<br /><br />Pacquiao’s conditioning coach from Colombia said the ring idol from General Santos City will carry a weight of 144 or 145 during Friday’s official weigh-in, and then be at 149 on the night of the fight itself.<br /><br />“That’s his natural weight (149) right now. He’s so fast for that. What you’re now seeing are pure muscles," said Ariza, adding that the world pound-for-pound king only has a six percent body fat.<br /><br />Ariza also has high respect for Cotto’s conditioning coach Phil Landman, adding the key to the fight would boil down to who has the better trainer.<br /><br />“It will go down as to who you have in the corner, and I have Freddie Roach with me. Unlike Cotto who only has some “average Joe" on his side," said Ariza in an obvious jibe against Joe Santiago, the former nutritionist turned trainer of the WBO title holder. <b>– GMANews.TV</b><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2428075929966896192-1124569085737890935?l=pacmancotto2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Animohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06340756497428925136noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428075929966896192.post-85071085373836406852009-11-04T06:47:00.000-08:002009-11-04T06:48:51.029-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l-4vd0Fp0_o/SvGULuTpffI/AAAAAAAAAKc/GemSP8Tde9g/s1600-h/pacmanvscottolive.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 296px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l-4vd0Fp0_o/SvGULuTpffI/AAAAAAAAAKc/GemSP8Tde9g/s400/pacmanvscottolive.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400260357323849202" /></a><br /><br /><br />Pacquiao vs. Cotto Free Live Stream!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2428075929966896192-8507108537383640685?l=pacmancotto2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Animohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06340756497428925136noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2428075929966896192.post-77712831344132709702009-10-21T08:52:00.000-07:002009-10-21T08:53:21.367-07:00Pacquiao vs. Cotto Live Streaming<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2428075929966896192-7771283134413270970?l=pacmancotto2009.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Animohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06340756497428925136noreply@blogger.com1
