'St Manny's Day' for Manny Pacquiao is May 2
Roach finally let his man loose on two sparring partners at his Wild
Card Gym on Tuesday as Pacquiao stepped up his training with just over
six weeks to go until boxing's biggest fight in years.
The Hall of Fame trainer was suitably impressed, comparing the Filipino's St Patrick's Day preparations to pre-season baseball training in the United States.
"When Manny threw out the first punch it felt like opening day of Irish Spring Training," said Roach, who then boldly wrote a new saint's day into the calendar.
"I am confident May 2 will be celebrated for years to come as St Manny's Day - the day he drove Mayweather out of boxing."
