At 24 years old, IBF Super Bantamweight Champion Manny Pacquiao trains for his upcoming fight at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, CA on July 10, 2003. Pacquiao would defeat Emmanuel Lucero at one of boxing’s most storied arenas the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles, CA on July 26, 2003. This would be Pacquiao’s last fight at 122 lbs and also as a relatively unknown boxer. Less than five months later he would move up a weight class to face the Mexican featherweight champion Marco Antonio Barrera. Pacquiao would dismantle the 4-1 favorite by TKO in the 11th round & the boxing world would be introduced to their newest superstar. Photo by JP YIM
