For the first time in boxing history, the reigning world heavyweight champion will officiate a championship weigh-in.

"I'm confident Manny will win - and don't be surprised if Manny wins by a big knockout," predicted a confident chief trainer, Freddie Roach, today in a press conference at Wynn Las Vegas. Roach said two-time world champion Manny Pacquiao had "his best training camp ever" to get prepared for his mega showdown with three-time world champion Erik Morales at the Thomas and Mack Center on Saturday night. "Manny has done all of his homework," said Roach. "In the last fight Morales did not see the best Manny Pacquiao -- but Morales better be prepared this time. I can feel it inside -- we're going to win." Morales vs. Pacquiao II "The Battle" is promoted by Top Rank in association with Wynn Las Vegas at the Thomas and Mack Center. Morales vs. Pacquiao II will be available on HBO Pay Per View
