Pacquiao confident as he prepares for De La Hoya (AP)

 
Trainer Freddie Roach believes Manny Pacquiao will have one significant edge when he fights Oscar De La Hoya: concentration. Roach said the 35-year-old De La Hoya has changed since his younger days as one of the most dominant fighters. "He's not quite as active, he's a little more patient, and he tires a little bit quicker," Roach said Monday at the Hollywood gym where he trains Pacquiao. (link)
