    Roach Claims De La Hoya Ousts Ortiz Due To Beatings

    Oscar De La Hoya has reportedly fired light welterweight sparring partner Victor “Vicious” Ortiz (22-1-1, 17 KO’s) not because he was no good but because he was “beating him up” according to celebrated trainer Freddie Roach who is handling Filipino ring idol Manny Pacquiao. [details]

      Roach is starting to become one of them annoying trash talking trainers.

        it's part of the promotion.

        oscar and manny always plays the good guy role. there's no bad guy so they're doing it through other means.

        since when was roach a trash talker?

        they're trying to keep the fight in the news as much as possible.

          So if this is true then why would Pac get any credit for winning a fight against a past prime Oscar?

          Oscar is not in his prime so every hit like this just takes away from a Pac win, if he does win. And if he loses, that something else.

          But of course, like many of us know, with a lot of fans the NAME means more than where the fighter is at in his career...which is sad and ignorant.

            Yes, but it would be best advised to lie in a positive way, for instance: Say OSCAR is DESTROYING his sparring partners. It will make Pac's win bigger and it will also make him a Huge underdog, which many like rooting for.

                Didn't mean trash talker like that...Just that you wouldn't put that out there unless you wanted to get under Oscar's skin in some way.
                Just that you rather hear from the fighter himself but in this case I guess he has to do more of the hype for Pac.

                Never mind what i said lol.

                  Yeah i've always said that would be a better way to make $$$$ in this sport but most fans wouldn't fall for it anyway.

                  The only part that gets to be a bit is that Roach just worked with Oscar and was talking about how he was at his best and now his little guy is going to walk right over him.

                  Boxing politics are crazy that way.
