Pacquiao-Cotto: Koncz Says No Training Worries

[gopi11]

Pacquiao needs to start training soon. Cotto's been training for almost a month.

Every boxer has their own schedule to follow, they know their bodies better than all of us railbirds. If Cotto started training a month ago, it doesn't mean Pacman has to follow suit too. Eight weeks of training has been working for him like a charm, so why fix it if it ain't broke.

What works for Tom doesn't mean it will also work for **** or Harry...

roach is just acting normally...... worried.
he always worry for his number one pupil when a big test is coming.
what pisses him more is when he is sort of 'in exile'.....excommunicado.
manny did this to freddie not just twice...probably avoiding freddie's naggings.
but when manny starts training.....freddie is all praises for manny
even to the point of begging manny to stop and take a rest!!

i am used to the antics of this "dynamic duo" of boxing.....no worry!!

Pacquiao doesn't need more time to train physically.. He's always fit as he was. He will only spend more time on mastering the game plan..

That's why Cotto started the training early to cope up the speed, weight and game plans.

roger on that!!
as always, pac will train to fyt 15 rounds of solid boxing without let-up.
cotto better do the same!!
it is important to master the game plan on how to neutralize cotto's avantages.
but most important is how to execute during the actual fyt.
focus, concentration is the key....not to be destructed when your face is eating leathers.

This is already shapping up to an excuse for when Cotto knocks his head off. Freddie Roach's starting to get a reality check. He knows that Manny's taking Cotto too lightly he's in for a rude awakening come Nov.14 I'm telling you now all of you i don't want to hear any excuses after cotto destroys him

R.i.p joey roach!! Our prayers go out to the family..

A few weeks ago he had told Freddie it was time to relax and enjoy life. He planned to sell his business and retire by the end of 2009.



Last week Joey and his wife Jacqueline returned from a family vacation in Michigan. On Saturday morning Jackie woke up, and when she looked at her husband in the bed beside her, the first thing she noticed was that he had turned a ghastly shade of blue. Joey Roach had, at the age of 47, died in his sleep. Although the cause of death has yet to be determined pending an autopsy, a heart attack is suspected.



It was left to Barbara Roach to break the news to Freddie and Pepper. Freddie, who had been training Manny Pacquiao for his Nov. 14 date with Miguel Cotto, immediately suspended camp.



"She's trying to be a trouper, and Freddie is trying to be strong," said a close family friend. "But you know how close they all were. You can imagine how hard this has hit them."



Arrangements have yet to be finalized pending the autopsy, and while there's no indication Joey had the slightest reason to suspect that his days might be numbered, he had recently addressed the subject in terms that some might find surprising.



"When my time comes," Joey had said, "I think I'd like to be buried back in Boston -- next to my father."

Manny might be without his trainer!!

Freddie roach brother has just past away and the question is he going to be in the right mine frame to prep his top fighter for his big fight in nov. 14 with miguel cotto.. Well the odds should be even now that cotto doesn't really have a top trainer in his corner and freddie is having do deal with the death of his brother.. Our prayers go out to freddie and the family!!
