WOW, they shoulda' stopped this...

[P4P Opinion]

Well let's see. Freddie hit'em with "I've seen your last two fights" and smirked for the cameras. Silence from Team Margo

I don't even know what you mean here.

Manny mocks Margo by pretending not to look at his hand while it's being wrapped. Silence from Team Margo.

That's fair game, Margarito was caught with illegal and dangerous handwraps - it's also perfectly reasonable to suspect Margarito must have known about them.

Then Freddie blurts out: "He knew about the handwraps. Who's he kidding?"

Again, fair game. Margarito was caught cheating and only his knowledge of the cheating is in question.

Team Margo breaks their silence when the manager blurts out: "Shall we talk about drug testing?" Freddie get's all fidgety.

Why wouldn't Roach get fidgety over such a non-issue that has plagued Pacquiao since a single baseless accusation?

So far so good. But it's not enough. So Freddie blurts out that Manny will take him out in 8 or 9 rounds. Silence from Team Margo.

Oh my ****ing God, boxer/trainer in knockout prediction shocker!

Antonio, Garcia, and Rios mock Freddie's condition.

All hell breaks loose.

...and rightly so, as they are mocking a life-threatening disability that Roach cannot help.

I cannot fathom how you can't see the differences.

All is fair in love and war. And this is war!!!

I don't see too much wrong with them making fun of his disease. I mean ricardo mayorga and mike tyson have said way worse things. They have attacked wives and children, atleast team margarito has only attacked freddie roach!

[Dambala]

Everyone who defends that kind of attitude is a ****ing ignorant just like that ******ed Rios.

[Chrismart]

Im all for trash-talk but i think making fun of Roach's illness is below the belt.

I cant see Rios winning many fans the way he has acted in this video and on 24/7.

Rios is an ignorant piece of **** I want Ortiz to put this idiot on his back.

[zeidrich]

making a joke about bricks means that margarito dont care about the people that he punch with those plasters

making fun of a guy who had parkinson is below the belt

[Danny Gunz]

i agree scully but roach says alot of low class below the belt stuff and its suppose to be ok cause hes disabled?? personally if i had a condition id just be quiet and train my fighter...roach talks so much this was bound to happen sooner or later..he just come across as a prick imo

Roach trash talks Margarito's ability as a fighter not him personally.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL4mPeN4txg <<< AMAZING that Margarito would make fun of Freddy in this fashion...AMAZING that Robert Garcia would do this...amazing that Brandon Rios would make his first foray into the public conciousness via 24/7 in a way that would make most fans HOPE FOR HIM TO GET BRUTALLY KO'd should he ever make it anywhere in this game...someone should have stepped in and destroyed this taped evidence, stopped it before it made it on to world wide TV...

No, we should catch Mexicanas in the act more often !!

[infamous larryx]

Roach trash talks Margarito's ability as a fighter not him personally.

saying he should be in jail for attempted murder is pretty personal

[jrosales13]

You may have a point but...I mean, could you imagine SUGAR RAY LOENARD or ALEXIS ARGUELLO ever doing this even in fun?? Mocking a man's Parkinson's? NO WAY, NO HOW...NEVER...

That I agree with,

matter of fact I don't see Pacquiao doing it either.

I personally think, calling Roach a bummish fighter is fair game, saying that he is nothing without Pacquiao is fair game, all other champs he has trained were brought up by other trainers only Pac is the one he has molded thus being overrated trainer is fair game, saying they need catch-weights and draining there opponents to win is fair game, Pac and OST fair game, bringing up all the fighters that Roach trained getting busted for illegal substance abuse is fair game. Hell talk about Pac talking about god this and god that, yet having extra marital affairs and being superstitious while being a catholic is fair game.

All that is trash talk, and all IMO fair game. However, there should be a line that you don't cross and yes they crossed it. It was a joke that was done in poor taste, I honestly don't think they really meant any harm with it, just cracking jokes. But, that is the ignorance in their part.

And, this is coming from somebody who likes Marg and Rios and I still like them. But, they were wrong in this one.
