The Pacman is back!

The wait is over, Manny Pacquiao touched down last night in Los Angeles. The Wild Card Gym will once again go through it's seasonal change as it always does when the 8 division world champion arrives. Manny Pacquiao will wrap up the 2nd leg of his training camp in Los Angeles and will take on Juan Manuel Marquez for the third time in his career.

There hasn't been a fighter that generates such electricity in a long time. With the arrival of Pacquiao comes the arrival of hundreds of fans, all of which will be standing in the parking lot outside of the gym. Each fan will hope that they can get a photo taken with their idol, and perhaps even an autograph. Folks come from all around the country, and in some cases from around the world. I remember when I was out there last year, I ran into a fan from Australia who made the trip just to get a glimpse of the Pacman.

The fans get excited when Pacquiao arrives because it usually means that his fight is oh so much closer. It's been common in his last few fights that he trains in The Philippines for the 1st half of camp, and in Los Angeles for the 2nd half of camp. When Pacquiao touches down at LAX it means the fight is rapidly approaching.

From all reports, Pacquiao had a great training camp in The Philippines. The team looks to pick up where they left off and march right into Vegas with a primed and ready champion. November will be upon on his before we know it. Pacquiao Vs. Marquez 3 is just around the corner.

Most insiders are predicting a Pacquiao victory, and this writer agrees. Former light heavyweight champ Glen Johnson said it best, "It's a tale of two fighters. One is going in one direction and the other is going in a different direction." Pacquiao is primed and ready, and some say Marquez has declined a touch. If this is true, this will not bode well for JMM.

More and more folks are predicting that Pacquiao will not only win, but he will knockout Marquez. Time will certainly tell.
