N EW YORK—Matibay ang paniniwala ni world
welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao na
matutuloy pa rin ang megabout nila ni Floyd
Mayweather Jr. matapos ang kanyang depensa ng
WBO title kontra Joshua Clottey.
Bagamat matindi ang away
ng dalawang kampo dahil sa
mga hirit ni Mayweather Jr. sa
isyu ng drug testing, sinabi ni
Pacquiao na nais niyang hara-
pin ang kano bago magtapos
ang taon.
“I’m still hoping the
fight will push through,
maybe by summer time,”
sabi ni Pacquiao. “It
would be a good fight if it
happened.”
Tulad ni Pacquiao, tiwala rin
si Freddie Roach na matutuloy
ang bakbakan.
“I think it’s going to happen.
I think it’s likely. Maybe May-
weather is up to doing this to
get more press, I don’t know.”
Humarap sa mga mamama-
pabagsak kay Jesar Ancajas ng
JA Wisdom Boxing Stable mula
sa Marbel, South Cotabato, sa
first round ng kanilang 10-
round bout.
Mabunyi rin mula sa Touch
Gloves sina flyweight Jetro Pa-
bustan na tinala ang split deci-
sion laban kay Ricardo Roa ng
Aljoe Jaro Boxing Stable;light-fly-
weight Lolito Sonsona na nagwa-
gi sa pamamagitan ng 6th round

ban kay Rodalito Barona; Jun

ing Stable mula sa Ligon, Albay.
