Looking to be in fantastic shape, the champion shook hands, signed autographs and took in the moment while wearing a huge sombrero to honor his native Mexico. Playing on Manny Pacquiao’s nickname, some local children drew signs of one of the ghosts in the famous arcade game “Pacman†finally scoring a KO over the illusive character.

Mexican's have no choice but to give it to him now. Morales is gone, MAB is basically gone, it's either JMM or they can hope Soto works his way back in the mix.
