PDI: Manny Pacquiao rocked both Amir Khan and Michael Medina in his final sparring session at the Johhny Elorde Gym in Quezon City yesterday, but still failed to impress trainer Freddie Roach.

Roach was evidently looking for something from the pound-for-pound king, and wanted Pacquiao to be more serious, active and focused.

“We didn’t have a great day of sparring today but he looked good in spots when he wanted to,” Roach told the Inquirer after Pacquiao went three rounds with Medina, took on WBA light welterweight champion  Khan over four rounds and had Medina return for another three rounds.

“He [Pacquiao] played a little bit too much,” Roach said. “He needs to get his game face and try and get a little more serious, and I expect that to happen in the last week in Los Angeles.”

The fact that Pacquiao went 10 rounds with two well-rested sparring partners proved to Roach that “his condition is no problem at all.” “We need to see him a little more active and a little more focused,” the trainer said.
