Roach Wants Tougher Low Blow Rule For Pacquiao - Cotto

[Ivansmamma]

Freddie Roach should shut the fu.ck up. The success of Pac has gone to his head, he seems to think he personally runs the show now. There is no end to his demands. Whats next, automatic decision win for Pac when he lands a punch? If Roach dosen't like the rules in the sport of boxing he can change sport.

body punching is the key along with the jab im rooting for cotto but to me its a 50/50 fight... roach is a talker and its just tryin to deterred cotto from going to the body

You ppl are talking like Low Blows are legit. Cotto didnt earn his nickname 'Low Blow Cotto' for nothing.

Are you a moron? He is a body puncher, if his opponent moves an odd way they get accidentally thrown to the lower then the belt-line. Stop sucking on Roach's pecker. Let the two warriors fight.

MANILA (Reuters) - Manny Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach will demand referees impose automatic disqualification for any deliberate low blow landed during the Filipino's challenge for Miguel Cotto's WBO welterweight title.

Puerto Rican Cotto was docked a point for low blows in his successful defence against Zab Judah in 2007, but maintained the blows had been accidental.

"Cotto stops his opponents' momentum with that kind of blow," American Roach told Monday's Philippine Daily Inquirer.

"In that Judah fight he had five low blows."

Roach said he would raise the issue at a rules meeting before the November 14 showdown in Las Vegas.

The highly anticipated bout pits Pacquiao, widely regarded the world's best pound-for-pound fighter, against Cotto, who retained his WBO title in June with a split decision over Ghana's Joshua Clottey.

Roach knows Zab can hit harder than Pac, and he watched that fight over and over again and thought to himself: "Gee, Zab would have finished this guy off if it hadn't been for all the low blows" of which I believe only 2 were actually called.

Roach, to me, seems like a young school boy who is being picked on and tries to get bigger kids to beat up the kid picking on him. When a fight is far off and distant, Roach always seems to act like a smartass, but when it's crunch time he starts doing this kind of thing. Manny has bigger balls than Roach!
