[GG Marquez]

wow that ***** should man up .... ffs a fkin rough push , i bet the prick is suing for all sorts of "emotional stress" and will tell the judge that he hasnt been able to go to work etc. all for some two bit push.

Would you fight Freddie Roach in his own gym? With all his fighters around? Really?

You are doing your job, and an ex-boxer is shoving you?

[Pretty Boy32]

they butchered Roger when he had his situation..lets see how this one plays out.

Yeah but Roger choked a female in fairness

I didn't know you can be sued for that. Bet you that writer won't be in that gym anymore just like how floyd snr tells certain writers to **** off

Writers get so much hate and give it too

Don't you think Roger did something a little bit worse than pushing a grown man on the shoulder?

Yeah but Roger choked a female in fairness

Female boxer vs male civilian

A trade-off?

Manny Pacquiao's trainer is being sued for something that's only legal in the ring -- assault, battery and infliction of emotional distress.

According to a lawsuit just filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Freddie Roach became enraged at Wildcard Gym Boxing Club in L.A., after coming face-to-face with Alex Vidal -- a boxing writer who penned a story titled, "Sick Roach Misses Conception's Last Workout."

Roach -- who suffers from Parkinson's disease -- allegedly challenged Vidal, claiming "he was not sick and that he only went to a clinic." Vidal says he apologized and said he was merely quoting a statement from boxer Bernabe Conception's manager.

Roach was unmoved, allegedly went on a tirade, pushing him "roughly" in the left shoulder, and yelled, "The next time you write about it, I will kill you."

Seems pretty tame in the boxing world, but Vidal is suing for all sorts of unspecified damages.

I do not think terribly much of roach anymore, and he should be held accountable...but it was a shove and a threat that people make in the heat of arguments. I don't think it needs to get legal. A public apology is all that should happen here and for all we know the reporter/journalist provoked roach.
