Comments Thread For: Roach Thinks Margarito Loaded Gloves During Sparring

[Ryannn]

Roach is sounding desperate....one day he says he thought Marg was a good honest dude...NOW he's this that and the third...yea, Marg might've used the **** in training because he dam sure was gonna use it on Shane and most likely he had ALREADY used it on Cotto....so yea, this might be true...but coming from Roach?!? ...the SAME Roach who said he thought Marg was tellin' the truth about the wraps?!?....come on now!!

i do think its hype.

just because their fighting, roach is bringing it up.

Parkinsons is really messing this guy up, I can't stand the Roach Coach.

Trainer Freddie Roach has once against stood by his opinion that Antonio Margarito likely knew about the hard plaster-like inserts that were found in his handswraps prior to a scheduled fight with Shane Mosley in January 2009. The California State Athletic Commission found him liable for the inserts and revoked his license in February 2009. The Texas Athletic Commission approved his application for a license in August, which allows him to moved forward with a scheduled fight with Manny Pacquiao on November 13 at Cowboys Stadium.

Its funny. Roach is called a legendary trainer! (joke) before manny what fighter did roach ever make into a great world champion? Roach was a average fighter. (Im being generous) & a average trainer b4 manny. Sure after manny good fighters will want to be trained by him. Manny made roach. Roach being both a former fighter & trainer. You think roach would be more respectful to both fighters & trainers!

im glad to see margorito throwing some sh@t back at roach, i mean roach disrespects every fighter not trained by him, how longs pac with roach? and still his defence is lacking, arms flying everywhere, i think pacs been fortunate up to now. a fast handed puncher like floyd mosley berto or even bradley would bust up pacs face, maybe thats why pac steers clear of those guys, pacs had a chance to fight all 4 hmmmmmmm.

I'm not sure why Roach and Pac want to bring up how Margarito attempted to cheat against Shane...Pac keeps saying Tony deserves another chance,nobody is perfect,etc-but then at the same time speculate that he was using illegal wraps in prior fights....

It seems that there are bleeding hearts when speculation is thrown towards Manny and his team by Floyd,but isn't Roach and Manny doing the same thing-speculating?

Tony is going to be in this fight 100% I believe (I didn't think he was before,but I am starting to believe it now),and Manny better stop being lazy in training.Roach should either have let go of all speculation or not have let his fighter go in against who they believe has cheated in the ring more than once.

I think Tony is going to do better than most people think and when they check his gloves this time,they won't have excuses to fall on.As it stands,they are already concerned about Pac's weight and don't want him to be at 151 because they feel he is too sluggish....

Stylistically,this is in Pac's favour,but Tony seems pretty damn hungry for his recognition.In fact,I am not sure when the last time Manny has fought anyone this eager for a while...I wouldn't be surprised if we see an upset (If Margarito of a few years ago shows up).

I agree with a lot of what you're saying but in regards to Margo having a chance, thats a big negative. Margorito cannot punch without those plasters and don't for a second believe this propaganda about Manny not being focused that Roach and Arum are trying to use to sell this fight. You don't have to look any further than Margo's last fight against Garcia to see where he is without those plasters.
