Roach will be bringing along two tall fighters who are in the mold of Algieri, according to Ronnie Nathanielsz in a report on Philboxing.
Stan “The Man” Martyniouk, an Estonian native, stands 5-foot-10, while Ukrainian Viktor Postol towers at 5-foot-11.
They are expected to mimic Algieri’s style to give Pacquiao a feel of what he will be up against on November 23.
Both boxers have good credentials and are anticipated to test the eight-division champion.
Martyniouk, who recently sparred with Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire, is a bronze medalist in the 2007 Golden Gloves championships. Postol, on the other hand, is the unbeaten WBC light welterweight Silver champion.
The two fighters will help Pacquiao prepare against Algieri, who stands at 5-foot-10 and implements a boxer-counterpuncher style.
Pacquiao is currently busy working on his conditioning, which will be very important come fight time, according to strength coach Justine Fortune.
"As far as his condition, he's in shape," Fortune said, while overseeing Pacquiao's training in General Santos City "He always maintains good condition because of his basketball, and he's always doing something."
"We'll be in shape, we'll be in great shape for Algieri," said Fortune. "We have to be, because Algieri will be in good shape. If anything, he's in great condition, so we'll be the same.
