    1st off,let me get this outa the way.The Punisher lost that fight.By Lara's clean effective punches,period.But as far as Roaches opinion goes,it shouldn't even be anything written about it.It does have have something to do with him.He does have a welterweight fighter that wanted nothing to do with Paul,that's also real talk.But surprisingly he didn't bash either guy.I think he knows he shouldn't.

      It only works for the marketable ones such as Williams. He has been an HBO staple for several years now and one of the only consistent American boxing stars so of course they consider him a commodity. Lara worked Williams over bigtime except for like 3 rds and I was betting on Williams to win. This ripoff stuff is just a joke and when no one wants to entertain being a boxing star because of it, the organizations have no one to blame but themselves for letting it happen.
      Williams won the first fight clearly. Close fight but not a robbery !!

        Either Mayweather..... and either who knew a 6'2" guy will have a big advantage on the fight just for the size.

        Hearns K'dFO of Duran.......Does that mean to you that Hearns was better than Duran ? NO.... But Duran had to kill himself just to reach Hearns while Hearns was able to land with all confort.

        Take a look at any respectable TOP 100 of ALL TIME, and tell me if in one of those you find Hearns above Duran.

            I think roach said disappointing in that it was sloppy and ugly to watch.

              That first Martinez Williams was a really really close fight. I scored Williams winning, but could understand how someone could have scored Martinez as well. No one winning that fight would have been a robbery. Now the Lara fight pretty much was.

                  I scored Williams winning too....
                  And Lara/Williams wasn't a robbery. It was an insolence and a disrespect for the boxing fans !!

                    Now I see what??Both Floyd & Manny avoided him,period.That still has nothing to do with with Hearns,Duran,or even Floyd.But a trainer housing a fighter that wouldn't fight a talked about fighter really has nothing to say.Roach shouldn't comment on a fighter his team avioded.That has nothing to do with Duran losing to Hearns,or Floyd avoiding the Punisher too.

                      Says who ??
                      They asked something to Roach and he gave his opinion.
                      Yesterday, Ariza couldn't give his opinion on the Pacquiao/Marquez fight.
                      Today, Roach can give his opinion on Williams/Lara robbery.
