- Congratulations on Amir Khan's victory over the more experienced Paulie Malignaggi. Your perspective on the fight?
Roach: I was very pleased. We worked hard in training on using the left hand to be more effective. I turned Amir loose in the 11th round and he took care of business.
- Is Amir Khan ready to take on the likes of Tim Bradley or Devon Alexander?
Roach: I think he is ready. I have only seen Devon Alexander fight once on television and he knocked out some bum. Everyone has been raving about how great he is but he can't beat Amir Khan.
- How about Timothy Bradley?
Roach: What I would like is for Amir to fight Marcos Maidana next while Bradley fights Alexander and Amir would fight the winner.
Any chance of Amir avenging his only loss with a rematch against Brediss Prescott?
Roach: No, the guy has lost two fights in a row. We are leaps and bounds above him at this point. If it was an interesting fight and people would pay to see it then we would consider a rematch but there is no interest in that fight.
