roach winning the psy war! 6 days b4 d fight.

[djteo]

yeah, he was just psyching hatton out by predictiing a third round knockout. santiago should listen to what freddie has to say closely. some of it may be mind games, but alot of it is true as well.

[jazluvr]

psy war is short for psyche war..... i can't blame you, where you from?

Cotto has a strong mind and i highly doubt roaches bs is getting to him. I imagine he's been trough this crap before. Manny is a just being manny, and roach is shooting his mouth off. Why would he try to worry Cotto if he's so sure Manny is going to win???
A contradiction caught red-handed. besides the fact he treid to turn Cotto into a skeloton before at 143lb's...You call that confidence? Lol. Manny has way more real confidence tha Roach does.

il let you lick my ass on the 15th.... mark that day on your calendar

nice of you to offer but i will pas that one up.

[Allucard]

No, but he can help by planting seeds of doubt in the mind of the opponent.

Exactly. Many fighters do it. Haye does it himself, Floyd does it himself, Manny has Roach. It's a fighting game, not chess.
Now i think this will have an effect when Cotto is being hit Roach's words will come to his mind, he will think he's being hit because there are fundamental flaws in his game his handlers didn't fix, what chances does he have to fix them mid fight? See that's how it works... Panting seeds of doubt.

what the mind believes.... the body will follow!

[jazluvr]

Cotto knows exactly what Roach is trying to do, and Cotto is a veteran seasoned fighter that knows how to play the game. He's a got a strong mind and problably just thinks Roach is an idiot. I do from all the crap he says, changing his story everyt time. Cotto knows it's a trainers job to do **** like that.

But Cotto is blocking. if he seriously believed all the negativity past promoters have tried to "implant" in his head, Cotto would not be where he is today.

floyd sr. believed hatton was the "Eye"-talian stallion....too bad his bull**** didn't follow.

[Undefeated]

I like Roach, but he's talking to much **** now.

This is not an easy fight. Even the fighters know that. Roach needs to STFU and stop trying to be a mastermind.

[ChiTown2Diego]

Roach is just doing what he can for his fighter as he should. No biggie. It's up to Cotto's camp to remain unfazed and focused at the business at hand. If you play along with Roach's mind games then he has you where he wants you.

[freedom213]

I think that with most guys mind games are a great way to get them off of there game plan but with Cotto they should have left the sleeping giant alone ya know? Cotto seems to be using it as motivation like what Hopkins did with Pavlik. That ****e only goes so far anyway.
