3:51 am
>> old jobs have their routines, but occasional changes of pace can be refreshing. the calendar of training offs a handful of reliable opportunities for atypical days in the gym, including this one. media day for juan manuel marquez at the plaza. the fighter is the typical
3:52 am
central attraction at these sorts of gatherings. today, however, there is also a focus on someone else. marquez's strength and conditioning coach angel hernandez, who has its come to light in the last week, has also gone by other monikers in the past. >> my name is very long. angel, i have a middle name, but in mexico, it is just a nickname. some people, it is very difficult for them to catch up. you can ask, anybody here in the media calls me mamo, angel. for some reason i said hernandez and it was easier for you to write it down. if i was a person that had something to hide, i would not be coming out on tv. i've never been banned from coaching. i never, you know, i have a science degrees and you know, what we do is strictly science. >> on surt fossa, a name might seem only incidental. but several years ago, under the name angel heredia, he was a

figure in the widespread investigation into doping in sport. admitting to prosecutors that he supplied performance enhancing drugs to numerous olympic athletes, including marion jones. by cooperating as a federal witness, he avoided a prison term for drug trafficking. as for this training camp, both marquez and his coach shrug off any questions about their regimen. >> juan is not using. we are not doing anything illegal. he is fighting clean. mr. marquez, is a person, i think his career speaks by itself. 26 years. i will work for him for eight or nine weeks. what he achieves is nothing to do with me. i'm here just to develop a different program he never worked on. we don't have any problems. we can do a urine test before
3:54 am
the fight, blood test, before the fight and after the fight. and we have nothing to hide. >> meanwhile, at the wild card, the reaction to the news coming from mexico city is one of indifference. >> how do we feel about some guy involve involved -- you know, we will all do whatever the required and protocol is for testing before and after. personally, i don't think any of the outside things will effect either one of them. and i know what we've done. and i still don't think that it f god himself came in there and helped marquez that he would beat manny. >> alex's confidence comes from the knowledge that his fighter has left nothing to chance. >> in talking about camp is always once one of those things
3:55 am
that is almost taboo because you don't want to jinx it. but i think we have probably the most consistent and complete amp that we've ever had. whatever his motivation is, something is making him approach this fight a lot differently than he's ever approached anything. >> he is a little fire, little ed ex extra edge that i haven't seen in a long time. they are going to watch this fight because marquez went to the philippines many times and claim he want the fight. so i just want to show that he is wrong. so this is the most important fight in my career. that's why i'm very motivated for this fight and i train hard. >> the third installment is now
3:56 am
just one week away. the ticking clock appears only to be bolstering the group's bravado. >> i believe in my fighter. and i believe in the work that he does. and i know the condition he's in. and i know we haven't missed a step anywhere. manny pacquiao is a machine and that machine will execute. if the support in the gym is an essential piece of his arsenal, each night a few miles away, a group of several dozen men plays just as important a role. with his wife in the
3:57 am
philippines, pacquiao has been staying in an apartment complex with his largent entourage, rather than alone in his mansion in l.a. collectively, their spirit sustains him. >> it is good to have a lot of people around me because it doesn't get boring. you know, it doesn't get lonely. and that's me. >> the group also provides a built-in and up-close audience for impromptu rehearsals. >> following his last few victories in las vegas, pacquiao performed in concert at mandalay bay. it appears he is scheduling another encore performance on november 12th.
3:58 am
>> its heritage dates back to the first days of mexico, the day of the dead. for two days at the start of november, they honor those who came before, ancestors whose souls are encouraged to return to earth and hear the prayers of the living. at its heart, the ancient festival is a reflexion of the human longing for the community. discomfort with the unknown. the fear that what awaits will leave us alone forever.
3:59 am
by trade, boxers fight in isolation. but the stories of the greatest ever tend to also involve supporting casts of crucial characte characters, sometimes subtle, sometimes transformityive, sometimes impacting what happens in the ring as well. prayer is how the mind communicates with the soul. fighting is how their souls communicate with the world. pacquiao marquez iii is one week away.
