Comments Thread For: Roach: Inactivity May Have Hurt Berto Against Ortiz

[UglyPug]

berto will be fine. check hooks is right - he gotta get that top heavy weight off him. **** the gun show - get the weight back in your legs and core. and ortiz is just that good. berto isnt quite as good as once thought and ortiz is better then the haters gave him credit for

Roach is making an excuse for Berto because that's who Pac is gonna fight next. They want you to believe that Berto was inactive and he's really great! So when they sign to fight him you wont question it. This is how you get a fight with Pac. Get your a$$ kicked and you're a front runner for Pac lol. Why else would Roach say this?

actually, if anything, this gives arum an excuse NOT to put him in front of pac.

Maybe he just gave his honest opinion to a question?

Roach isn't General Patton.

Not everything he says is meant to be interpreted.

Stop trying to see something that's not there.

Berto gassed out because all he does is work out his chest and arms. When you have big muscles like that you gain explosiveness in bursts but you gas out much faster. Berto is a front runner and would get destroyed in the later rounds against anyone worth his salt in the ring.

Boxing isn't about looking like a gorilla. Its about hitting and not being hit.

Based on this you should be a Mayweather fan and NOT a Pacquiao fan. Correct???

It is what it is man. Team Pac has a history of picking fighters coming off of losses so why should I think differently now?? Until Pac fights a winner on a win streak I am justified.

Well if they picked him or were talks, you might be justified.

But in this case hes simply stating an opinion about a fight.

Berto aint fighting no one with a pulse for a good while any way.

He really got hurt.

WTF are you talking about roach? Berto faught quintana for 8 rounds last may and then he faught Hernandez in November. If he didn't get paid so much HBO woulda given him a fight during that summer. SMH. Excuses!

[GRUSTLER]

Wow! Can't believe Roach went this route to try to downplay Ortiz's win over Berto.

[FloydTBE]

'may have' hah, it did

Veteran trainer Freddie Roach believes Andre Berto's inactivity may have played a role in last Saturday's decision loss to Victor Ortiz. In a span of a year, Berto had only one round in the bank, with a first round knockout of Freddy Hernandez last November.
