A letdown the last time, Manny Pacquiao made sure he would leave a lasting impression on Top Rank promoter Bob Arum.
The world’s top pound-for-pound fighter rocked all three sparmates he faced late Tuesday, with Glen Tapia nursing a bloodied nose after the action-packed rounds that wowed a small audience at the Shape Up gym inside the Cooyesan Hotel in Baguio.
Among those who witnessed Pacquiao's return to championship form was Arum himself.
Arum was watching at ringside when the 31-year-old Pacquiao relentlessly attacked and bombed Tapia, Medina and Amir Khan, the reigning World Boxing Association (WBA) light-welterweight champion, at an extended sparring session that started what trainer Freddie Roach earlier referred to as the "toughest two weeks" of training for the Filipino’s Nov. 13 title fight with Mexican Antonio Margarito.
“He had a bloody nose," said Filipino assistant trainer Nonoy Neri, referring to Tapia.
