I do not underestimate Vargas, says Pacquiao (Reuters)
By Mark Lamport-Stokes LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Manny Pacquiao is regarded as one of the greatest boxers ever but says he will not be taking his opponent lightly when he faces World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Jessie Vargas next week. Seven months after defeating Timothy Bradley in his much trumpeted farewell to the sport, the Filipino southpaw will return to the ring on Nov. 5 when he faces American Vargas at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. “I do not underestimate Jessie Vargas,” Pacquiao, 37, told reporters after beginning his training camp in Los Angeles this week under the watchful eye of his Hall of Famer trainer Freddie Roach at the Wild Card Boxing Club.
