ROACH: "It takes Manny three or four days to recover from a blood test"

[BritishBoxing92]

These are Freddie Roach's OWN WORDS in an interview on December 23rd..

So can the Pacquiao camp explain to the public why they won't accept a 14 day cut off please? because according to the man who trains Manny he only needs four days maximum to get over it, let alone FOURTEEN which is more than TRIPLE the amount of time.

so what??? it could mentally shrink his confidence etc.....not all boxers are the same

Well go suggest it to the commission. The commission should be the one to implement it. Not Floyd by demands.

Why won't you talk to Floyd and tell him to suggest it to the commission to add it in all the fights prior to Manny-Floyd fights. How about that to fair.

Manny in juice? How many times has Manny failed in a test?

Blood tests are much more effective. How many of those has he taken?. Hardly any, that's the problem.

You mean like it "shrinked" his confidence after he gave a WHOLE TUBE of blood away before the Hatton fight? yeah of course it did.

Not only that, but he trained the next day lol. Man, Pac's are fans making so many excuses for him, its crazy.

[alexpz]

he doesnt like the sight of his own blood? lmao!!! he picked a great ****ing industry to get into then didn't he?

Blood tests are much more effective. How many of those has he taken?. Hardly any, that's the problem.

Well what profession boxing event has ever that has taken a random blood testing.

That's why I'm stating that Floyd and you fans should go and ask the commission to add to the rules. Not just add it for the Manny-Floyd fight.

Do you get the point? Your guys are only demanding it for Manny-Floyd's fight. Why not include it in all the fights and in all boxer.

[alexpz]

Not only that, but he trained the next day lol. Man, Pac's are fans making so many excuses for him, its crazy.

what excuses?

Who is making ridiculous demands?

[GameGod]

Yeah. But the point is the random blood test could be done anytime. How do we know that the testers wont turn up 2 days before the fight to draw blood from Manny. 4 or 5 days maybe fine, but if the test is to be random-taken at anytime, then how can you then tell the doping agency, you cant test manny 5 days prior to the fight. This defeats the object of RANDOM testing.

Because the 14-day cutoff says that the testers cannot come to draw blood after less than 14 days till fight night. So if Manny only takes three or four days (which seems unlikely to me), why not agree to the random testing at least until a week before the fight?

"If they give me a 5-day window or something like that I have no problem with it," Roach said. "When they've drawn blood from Manny in the past he feels weaker for three or four days. It may be mental, but it's there."

Blah, blah, blah lol. Whether it becomes a part of boxing or not, it should. But, lets forget about all of that right now. The bottom line is Mayweather has made several compromises that very few people that he would, including a 50/50 split. So, I don't think its unreasonable for Manny to do the same.

Instead of agreeing, him and his team have taken a small test issue and blown it up so big, that the number of people who think he's dirty now has increased. And if you cant understand that I don't know what to tell you. Lots of his fellow pro boxers are saying if it was them, they would take the test no problem.
