By Chris Williams: Trainer Freddie Roach is still longing for the lost yesterdays of his fighter Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KO’s) as he approaches his rematch against WBO welterweight champion Tim Bradley (31-0, 12 KO’s) in their rematch on April 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Roach wants Pacquiao to be like he was when he was in his 20s and fighting at a super high level with tons of aggression. The problem is Pacquiao is 35-years-old now, and he’s never going to see 25 again.
The 20s are gone for Pacquiao, and he’s just going to have to make do with what he has left in the tank. But Roach still wants Pacquiao to try and fight like he used to, and he gets happy when he sees Paquiao fighting in a fierce manner.
