Who is Lenny De Jesus?

A Puerto Rican based in New York is the leading candidate to take over as trainer of Manny Pacquiao following Freddie Roach's decision to quit the champ's corner on charges that some members of Team Pacquiao have cheated him and the fighter out of money.
Lenny De Jesus is the name of the potential new trainer. Never heard of him.

I had this feeling that Oscar Suarez would have taken over, don't know why it was just a guess. I have never heard of this trainer, it could be a big mistake - but with a talent like Pacquiao I think he'll be a major player whoever is in his corner.

Bennie - DeJesus was Manny Pac's cutman for the Barrera fight.

I know some cutsmen know a lot about the game, but it would be a bit like asking Mick Williamson to train Ricky Hatton....

Could this drama be the beginning of the Pac Man's demise? We wait and see.
