Comments Thread For: Roach Protecting Pacquiao From Bigger Sparring Partners?

[EL ANIMAL]

So basically Roach is already starting to wind down his training camp sparring wise. Interesting wasn't he supposed to be turning it up?

thats exactly what i thought

i cant lie this is the most negativity i've heard from any pacquiao camp thus far!

Vanes might be twitter thuggin' it later with "Manny is duckin' me" tweets ....oh man, as if Vanes needed a ego booster!! LOL

Exactly. People have to understand that training for a fight has many components to it, you have just mentioned the MITT WORKS and STRATEGY PART.

SPEED/TIMING is a very critical issue for Pacquiao. But for me, the biggest thing is his mental focus and emotion. If Pacquiao can zero in in his last part of training in FOCUSING.

Then he can win this fight. I am nervous because this could be a loss for him and while Margarito isn't chump change to begin with. Being heavier, bigger, taller and stronger.

Marg is a beast. He has taken the wight off well and is right on track. He will be in top form. I think it will come down to weather or not marg can take mannys punches. He took cotto's punches but manny hits much harder. Manny also took Cotto's punches well.

Is there any truth to the rumor that he got KTFO by Khan in sparring?

They're bull****tin' man!!! they probably just decided to work with smaller sparring partners so Pacquiao can go more rounds to improve his stamina!!! but I still think they waited a little too long to go to the Wild Card Gym and that may hurt them because with two weeks left i dont think he should be sparring, he should already be working on a game plan!!! but anyways I'm a Margarito fan so I don't really care!!! haha!!! Go Margarito, by the way I think Margarito will KO Pacquiao in the 8th round!!!

If Marg will come in the ring as healthy and hydrated as Pac's....

..sparring mates, then Pac will definitely get KO but the fact is he's not. Pac's sparring with a much bigger and STRONGER guys..with a bounty on his head..is going to be tough for sure,,but it will just make him better. Pac has the power..but speed will be the key..Roach made a wise move by focusing on Pac's speed training...regardless how Pac ends his training camp...it will be a easy fight for him...Marg will be too weak to actually KO Pac.

People laugh at Martirosyan, but that dude has something to prove. He would have gave Pac all he could handle, in my opinion. I just don't see how David Rodela, a subpar lightweight, can help prepare him for Margarito at all.

It doesn't matter who Pac spars with big or small because this fight has already been bought and paid for... Pac to win compliments of Bob Arum.
