Cotto: ¨Many thought that I would not be able to make the weight. The pose that I did was not for Manny´s corner, it was specifically for Roach. He gloated in the whole promotion that weight would be a factor. He is dissapointed.¨
Santiago: ¨I told him a few times that Miguel did 145. They compared us with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Miguel is different, he´s a responsible athlete who will make the weight that was agreed on contract¨.
¨Miguel will step up at around 155-158. Now, I assure you that the MIDGET will not step up at more than 148¨.
¨I told Roach to look at the weight. He has been questioning Miguel´s ability to make 145. I told him in Spanish, as a Puertorican¨ (So he told him ¨145 pendejo¨).
Roach
¨Santiago called me asshole, and I am not going to let anyone call me asshole. Now Manny will really KO Cotto ¨.
I lost my respect for Cotto when he turned to Roach after the weigh-in and flexed his muscles, in a cheap and insulting manner. Santiago showed everyone who is the real a-hole, himself. Santiago got no credibility as a "trainer".
shut the fu.k up lost respect like anyone cares what u think
its a fight theres tension so what if he flexed his muscles at roach
id do the same thing punk

so roach can constantly insult cotto verbally through the media and cotto can't flex his muscles at him during the weigh in? Get the fuk outta here
Why? Roach wanted to see a very dehydrated weaken Cotto to make this fight.
Now Cotto says: "hey Roach look and STFU now?"
and of course Santiago complimented it with a: "145... pendejo!!" to Roach's face.
I like Roach but he talked to much to the camera and Joe Santiago say it to his face. So he got what he deserved
ok, no more excuses of a catchweight! anyway you look at it..it's not right to call a trainer hall-of-fame like that...
They were simply mocking Roach and team Pacman for their lame weight draining tactics. If anyone is losing credibility its team Pacman for not agreeing to fight fighter at their true weight.
lol, who's talking about credibility...you lost credibility in your posts by having that as an avatar!
Santiago did not call roach an asshole he called him a dumb ass that is what pendejo means... someone should tell roach...
Freddie Roach in the corner... 7th round: "Manny, I just got word that that sucker really meant 'dumb ass', and not 'a-hole'. Now get out and teach this sucker a lesson!!"
Lol with just two words Santiago did was Roach has been trying for months.
I was thinking the same thing. This is the guy calling Cotto washed up, shot, making fundamental mistakes, a KO in one round, calling his trainer green. They call him an asshole and he takes it personal lmao. Roach looked awesome when he was trash talking with Mayweather Sr. but when he started with people who are not into that shit and completely unphased by it he looks just as stupid as Sr.
Actually, I see it the other way around. Roach pulled the trick once more. It's called reverse psychology.
The whole entire time, Roach has been tellin' everyone and anyone that Cotto would pull a Floyd Jr. with the weight-issue. All Roach did was make sure Cotto falls in line with how Roach wanted it!
If y'all think about it, Roach dictated the direction this whole weight issue and it worked from beginning to end.
At the weigh-in, when Santiago turned around to antagonize Roach. Roach could not have been more happier, and probably thought to himself, "good, you did exactly what I wanted",hehe
Now that I think of it... Your right!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol at the Pactads crying because Santigao was man enough to call Roach a A-hole to his face unlike Freddie talkin shit behind the camera.
well he didnt say 145 in spanish..but he did say A-hole..so all that tells me is he was scurd to call him an A-hole is english like he said 145....Man Roach really got in this kids head...

hasta q alguien se dio cuenta.....lets go Cotto!!!!!!
I still have no clue why Santiago is training Cotto. Who the hell is this guy? He trains in blue jeans. Terrible move by Cotto to hire a friend rather than someone who knows something about boxing.
