Roach Worried About Miguel Cotto's "Dirty Tactics"

[-Antonio-]

I get the feeling Roach just answers the questions and they publish the answers as an article. I don't really see him looking to start stuff.

That said, I'm tired of reading about what he thinks about every fight.

I hate when trainers whine about a fight as much as anybody, but if you have been paying attention, Roach has accurately predicted more outcomes and spoke more clearly and definitively on more issues than pretty much any trainer out there. I think if he's saying Cotto uses low blows to stop an opponent's momuentum then I bet you go back and watch the videos and you'll see it. Also, do you want anything to taint the victory of Cotto if your a fan of his and he wins? I wouldn't. If it was my favorite fighter I would want him to win as fairly as possible and with no apparent advantages so no one could take anything from it.

Even though Roach gets on my nerves sometimes I am rooting for the Pac Man to whip Cotto's ass. The only thing that made me sympathize with Cotto was of how Manny was trying to get Cotto to come all the way down to 143. But that was just a negotiating ploy more than anything.

Oscar fought Forbes at 150, so what your trying to tell me is that Roach is purposely draining Cotto, got it

Cotto doesn't think he'll be drained. He said even before the negotiations started that he thought he could fight at 145 without being drained, but no lower. And he stuck to his guns. Why all the hate? Did you hate De La Hoya when Hopkins fought him at catchweight? Did you hate Chavez when he fought Sweat Pea at catchweight?

Roach is talking way to much, I did like him, even though I am a cotto fan, but he is starting to get on my nerves.He sure is going to look like a fool if Cotto wins.

every week this guy roach comes out with something new. wouldnt be surprised if he calls off the fight cause coto didnt make weight by 1 pd or just something dumb.

I saw Freddie fight a couple of times, and he was no choir boy, some one shoulda called 911. He's just taking care of his investment, cause he sure didn't have any mercy.

it would taint the victory a little bt but how much worse would it be if cotto was basically stopped from thrpwing body shots, which is his best punch, the entire fight...the victory for pac in that case would be even worse

Remove cheating and that's all!!! Plain and simple!

stop being a *** and fight at WW unless you want a low blow for each pound south of 147

that's the new rule for this fight
