Roach Not Exactly Pleased With Pacquiao's Training Location

[JM1]

Well it shouldn't be because of that. I have no doubts Pac will be in terrific shape. I'm leaning towards Cotto simply because I think he's worlds better than Pac/Hatton and, while not as good a boxer as Marquez, is pretty decent in his own right. And is naturally stronger. I feel strange saying this but I can't see Manny outboxing Cotto. Which means I'm giving him a puncher's chance.

you have no idea what happens everytime pac trains in the PI

[Ray*]

Yeah bet your money based on where he trains. Real smart.

Training in the philipines would be a major distraction to Pacquiao, He cant even train in the USA without all his people coming in to see him and distract him so imagine him trying to stay at home to train???

[REAC7]

Not a very wise move but he's the man right now so..

I hope it all goes well for the Pac team over there.

No matter where he trains Pac's going to lose anyways. But training in the Phillipines will only make it easier for Cotto.

i hope pac takes his training serious cause if not cotto is KOing him

somebody needs to tell freddy roach that he works for manny and not the other way around.

[GRUSTLER]

Never seen Roach so worried before.

Manny Pacquiao has made a decision to train at home. He plans to start his training camp at a location in Baguio, Philippines on September 17 or 18. After Pacquiao finishes up his media tour for the November 14 bout with Miguel Cotto, he plans to start training immediately. Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach wanted a quiet, secret location in Toluca, Mexico. He fears the constant visits from reporters and fans will distract Pacquiao in Baguio. Both Pacquiao and Roach agree that Cotto will be the toughest opponent that they ever had to deal with. [details]

I am not a Pacquaio fan, but I think Pac would be much better off listening to his trainer instead of his "advisers" and his own ego when it comes to training and boxing. As a basketball commentator once said, "dance with the girl that got you to the dance."

Many of you may not remember when Zab Judah fought Kostya Tyszu. Judah was schooling Tyszu in the first two rounds, came back to his corner and told his trainer/father that this fight was easy. His father/trainer, very sternly, told him this was not an easy fight and that he needed to take it seriously. In the next round, Judah dropped his hands and leaned back while trying to avoid a punch, got nailed and ended up doing a modern version of the funky chicken.

If Pac doesn't take this fight seriously, something similar will happen to him.
