Roach wants tougher low blow rule for Pacquiao-Cotto

[oc9979]

Why not???

You do not win a belt by disqualification.

I don't think the rules will change for Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquiao.

Freddie wants EVERYTHING is Pac's favor...EVERYTHING. then he guesses that once its ALL in Pac's favor it will be a "fair" fight. thats my opinion of this fight.

Well yeah, it's his job after all. Can't really blame him for doing whatever it takes within the rules to turn the tides in Pacquiao's favor.

I wouldn't say anything. Protect yourself at all times. It would be cheap but if it happens it happens.

So your fine with a blatantly intentional low blow?!? My point was people are claiming he doesn't low blow intentinally yet many of his fights he low blowed when in trouble.

Oh you're clearly not biased! Everyone on here knows Castor Troy "AKA" me am a huge fan of Pacquiao, Cottos, and Calzaghes. And you are blinded by only liking filipino fighters most likely with comments such as this. Low-blows happen, every fighter throws them. People only make a big deal about it when Cotto does it, but not when every other fighter does it. Didn't torrecampo knock Pacman out with lowblows, but the ref was on the wrong side.

?!? wtf you talking about my bias, I'm a fan of both fighter (even if I favor Pac in this fight)...your white guilt is showing again buddy but nice try with the racial ****.

Yes low blows happen but the dude is known for throwing low blows. Everyone talks about his precision and timing yet when he throws a low blow he has the inaccuracy of a first year amature?!?

You can tell who are cotto hugger and pac haters in this thread. Don't forget the lowblow are illegal and cotto use it as a weapon when momentum is not going in his favor.

I wonder if his condition is finally starting to mess with his brain, seriously, no disrespect but I don't what the hell Roach is thinking. A big name fight like this should not end on a dq, unless its something really really bad.

I think he's just tired of seeing 2-3 low blows before a 1 pt deduction and he knows how much a low blow can change the tide of a fight.

Since when?

Yea but that was just one fight. Cotto has shown to be for the most part a clean fighter.

Hopkins and Casamayor on the other hand, have shown to be dirty.
