For four years na layoff, walang fight, and then 12 rounds na intense, &#x27;yung kalaban ko younger than me. Satisfied ako sa naging condition ko,&quot; said Pacquiao.&quot;But hindi pa &#x27;yun talaga ang 100% na gusto ko makuha, &#x27;yung speed, &#x27;yung timing, &#x27;yung more punches na gusto ko maabot. Kaya lang, two months, for two months&#x27; training, okay na,&quot; he added.Pacquiao previously said that he felt he did not have enough training time, as he was busy campaigning for a Senate seat in the leadup to the fight.
