Is Freddie Roach training Hopkins for Pavlik?

[NeXt In Line]

I noticed that Roach wasn't at the NYC Presser for the fight, and Hopkins didn't mention him at all in the conference.

Anybody have info as to whether or not Roach will or will not be in Bernard's corner?

[TheManchine]

no i dont think he will be training B-Hop

I think he said in an interview earlier that he wouldn't train him because he's concerned about his health and doesn't want to be a part of that. It was posted on here not to long ago I believe.

You are correct.

That's too bad, they seemed like a good combination. However, I see where Roach is coming from, suffering from Parkinsons from boxing must have made him reevaluate his stance on fighters' health.

However, I think the one person I'd be least concerned about their health is Hopkins. The guy is a freak when it comes to staying healthy.

Freddie Roach is worried about Hopkins health yet he goes through vigorous training sessions with multiple fighters every day and hes a 48 year old victim of the parkinsons disease?

Saying that, Maybe hes worried it could happen to Bernard but if anybody's health is at risk, Its Freddies.
