DALLAS, TEXAS -- Manny Pacquiao's strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza, who is credited for the vast improvement of Pacquiao's physical prowess since hooking up with the Filipino icon, informed this correspondent that the Pac Man is definitely in much better fighting shape this time around against Joshua Clottey compared to his last bout against Miguel Cotto.

Part of the reason is probably the tighter camp in LA as opposed to the tumultuous one that they had for the Cotto fight which was marred by natural calamities while they were training in Baguio and had to relocate to Manila then at the Wild Card Gym.

Other members of Team Pacquiao that I have spoken to here in Dallas also echo the same sentiments saying that Pacquiao is definitely ready and more dangerous than he was in his last fight.

If those predictions and comments hold true, it will definitely mean an explosive night and fireworks at the Dallas Stadium this Saturday night.

Check my video of Ariza's prediction below and check out my exclusive behind the scenes coverage of Pacquiao-Clottey here only at Examiner.com.

    Pac-Man always comes ready to fight 12 rounds. If he is in better shape then it might be a shorter night than against Cotto.
