freddie roach the trainer of manny pacquiao joins him in camp tell the manila times: nockout prediction for Pacquiao's next fight. Pacquiao has not scored a knockout win in eight years, since stopping Miguel Cotto in November of 2009. Based on Pacquiao's training, Roach actually retracted his knockout prediction. “We are far behind. Those five rounds of sparring were the worst I have seen him spar,” said Roach to the Manila Times. “Overall, the second day of sparring was not great I didn’t expect him to be good. But I think he’s getting there." “Manny has not done any knockout for a long time. He got to show here in the sparring that he wants to knock him down. So I don’t know, I cannot predict that anymore."
