Manny Pacquiao stretches pre-workout with strength +
conditioning coach Alex Ariza during his last full week of
training camp in Los Angeles at the Wild Card Boxing Club on
Nov. 21, 2008. The following Saturday, Pacquiao would come
face to face in the ring and dethrone one of his boxing idols
“The Golden Boy” Oscar De La Hoya for the fight that was billed
as “The Dream Match” on Dec 6, 2008 at the MGM Grand
Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Pacquiao
retired De La Hoya on his stool when his corner threw in the
towel before the start of the 9th round. Photo by © JP YIM
