i admire pacquiao’s perseverance and dedication to his craft that i always tell my students, “think of pacquiao who, even as a champion, never gets tired of training hard before a fight. that alone should inspire you to do more!”
…he’s victorious, hands down! i just hope he keeps his family intact and feet on the ground.
