So far, so good for Frankie Gomez under Freddie Roach.
The ultra-talented welterweight prospect seems to have put his legal troubles behind him and is flourishing in the ring since hooking up with the Hall of Fame trainer at the Wild Card Boxing Club last last year.
Gomez (15-0, 11 KOs) has had distractions in the past, but Roach hopes he can stay on the straight-and-narrow.
"There’s a lot of people who want to hang around you out there and want to be your friend, but you have to stay with the people that were there when you started and be careful about the guys coming on," said Roach. "I hope he can stay away from that. When I started with (Manny) Pacquiao he had no entourage, now he has a huge entourage. I never thought that would happen, but that’s how the boxing game goes, though."
