Pacquiao reiterated that the change of opponents has not been a problem because he's faced orthodox fighters plenty of times throughout his career. Pacquiao won the International Boxing Federation super bantamweight title in June. "We hope that everyone will like the fight." "I'm sure he says that because he saw me training with a lot of discipline and passion because the fight with Spence was coming, but we will try to do our best in the ring," Pacquiao said. And while his trainer, Freddie Roach, assured that the end of the battle will come by knockout, Pacquiao was more cautious.
