Filipino ring icon and Senator Manny Pacquiao is 70 to 80 percent conditioned over a month before his showdown with Australian boxing hero Jeff Horn at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on July 2.

Pacquiao said that his body condition is 70 to 80 percent "fight-tuned" as he prepared for his sparring session on Saturday with spar-mates from General Santos City Sonney Katiandagho and Leonardo Doronio.

Manny's speed and strength have remained unchanged as in past training sessions that involved sparring, mitts, shadowboxing, speed-work, jump-rope, and workouts.

Coach Freddie Roach was quoted as saying that a few more training rounds could already push Pacquiao's speed, stamina,  and timing to the peak.

Such level of physical conditioning is a top priority to ensure Pacquiao's victory over Horn. —LBG, GMA News
