GREAT ARTICLE: "Pacquiao should be ashamed of sparring a 0-6 fighter"

[Calilloyd]

its called sparring... bags hang on a chain and dont throw back yet we use bags. Sparring partners come in all shapes and forms for all kinds of reasons. trying to discredit someone for a sparring partner is proof of your lack of knowledge of this sport!

That's fine but it should have never been reported as if it was something special. When that happens the situation becomes fair game and open season for criticism.

Apparently “Pacquiao dished out a beating to Brooks” claimed Freddie Roach and on the surface it appeared as if Manny Pacquiao had just destroyed a top prospect or legitimate contender. But waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttt a minute boys & girls, if you actually look through the “SMOKE SCREENS” blown out by Team Pacquiao, you will see that Bryan Brooks is no more than an 0-6-1 fighter who has been knocked out twice in his minimal career by 2 fighters who were fighting in their pro debuts.

On top of all that, Brooks hasn’t fought in 5 years. His last fight was in 2005 in which he fought to a draw.

Wait it gets better, Brooks was born in September of 1970. Now I am no Calculus Major, but if my math serves me correctly, Brooks should be 39 years of age quickly approaching the tender age of 40.

Why would Freddie Roach release statements to the media about Manny beating up a sparring partner of this caliber? Is this really news?

You really need to get a life. All you do is make threads about how Floyd is god and make other threads that **** on Pacquiao. The way you obsess about Floyd is not natural.

[iHateThePacMan]

Aye, beating up a 40 year old 0-6-1 fighter, is nothing to brag about.

i think floyd is fighting a 40 year old soon if he doesnt chicken out

[PAC-BOY]

You nailed it.

This is not a story.

We shouldn't even be talking about Pac destroying a bum sparring partner.

So why the hell would anyone brag about this is beyond me.

Brag about sparring Porter or Khan.

it called communicating with reporters. Not bragging! If Pac were sparring with a real good fighter it would be behind close doors and wouldnt be leaked out at all...Its no story (you're correct) or bragging, with a bum sparring partner. Its just light work in the gym. Ignorant ****ers on here will try to make it look other wise... LOL

“[Pacquiao] did really well. He’s already following the game plan. This was a good sparring partner for Shane Mosley but I don’t think I’m going to bring him back… he got hurt a few times. Manny was too much for him,” Roach said to ABS CBN News. "He did whatever he wanted too. He was playing with him a little bit. He likes to play with his audience a little bit."

Dude that sounds like bragging.

Also a little ****y.

Well that's Roach.

[Chuckguy]

Floyd's sparring session is so much boring that no media would even bother to watch.. Mayweather will put everyone to sleep watching his sparring session.

haaha
ok but really he has closed sessions if I remember correctly and he is still undefeated so I guess it works for him

Pac might as well have sparred with a punch bag, it would have at least lasted longer and probably throw more back at him. Take Pacquiao's balls out of your mouth for one second and see what everyone else is seeing.
