I'm watching interviews of Freddie Roach, and it seems like his first concern is excitement. Shouldn't that be the promoter's job? He sounds like a fan rather than a trainer. His first concern should be to get his fighter to victory. I've never seen a trainer train a fighter to be exciting.
That's an irresponsible approach to take. And considering how Pac fights smarter and at a more measured pace now I don't know what Roach is talking about.
I agree that it's an irresponsible approach, especially given Freddie's health from all those 'exciting' fights he had. Robert Garcia is another one that seems to have this mentality, except when it comes to his little bro who he had no problem advising him to quit when he got a little blood on his nose.

I agree.
Freddie Roach is what is wrong with boxing.
