Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia Rips Freddie Roach Over Donaire Attack

This is typical Roach, if you're not one of his fighters then you're garbage.

It's really a sad way of thinking because as a trainer you should admire the talent of other athletes. You always hear head coaches in other sports praise their opposition. Just because you praise them doesn't mean you're not trying to win or think they;re better than you, you're just identifying the talent of your opponent.

I think Roach deep down has a chip on his shoulder, and that might be because he failed as a boxer himself.

Robert Garcia Rips Freddie Roach Over Donaire Attack

As par as Robert Garcia is conern, I think Nonito Donaire is much talented boxer and does not need Robert. Robert didn't actuallly contribute much in Donaire's early matches and Robert only train him fully on Sidorenko fight. It was Nonito's father and the Penalosa who train him make him much better boxer today. So sad Nonito didn't see all his parent and friends in the Philippines did to him. Robert, try to concentrate with your brother and loud mouth Rios and show if you are really a good trainer. Margarito almost retired in fighting Pacquiao! See what happen to Ortiz with hand of true champion like Floyd!

Roach is the greatest handicapper in da game. But he's an attn whore and a trainer celebrity to the stars. LOL. But to say no1 has figured out dat the only way Donaire wins is by his left hook is funny. Cmon if us avg Joe's know that Donaire's left hook is deadly.. I think alot of trainers do as well.. Cmon.. Donaire is gna be in the game much longer than Khan...I can't wait till Khan faces a live body other than Maidana, cuz its lights out for him... Garcia is right Manny and Khan lose to Money May..I agree with ROach on one thing Gamboa is a beast, NO DOUBT! But unless he stops boxing like he is in the amateurs he will not beat Donaire... Gamboa I noticed doesn't finish when he has someone hurt or against the ropes... That is becuz the kid has had over 300 amateur fights and his mentality is still think POINTS first...But that would be a sick fight... I give DOnaire that edge though but on decision alone, because Gamboa is bigger and stronger but no way as fast, rangey and technical as Flash...

"Garcia is right Manny and Khan lose to Money May"

How can someone lose without fighting them.. My goodness sake, just showing how a floydiot post. It's about purely Donaire in the Topic and your putting the cowards name on the scene. WTF!! you ****suckers should stop it..

@Topic

Somehow roach was right about the left hook, most of the filipino flash opponent's trainers I think is aware of it. The problem is that they don't know how to stop it. Nonito is a tactician and is skilled enough more than the left hook.

I really like Robert Garcia to be roach heir to the throne, of TOTY. Unless Margo losses to Cotto, the award is gone from his hands.

roach wishes to train nonito because he knows that nonito will be the next P4P king after manny retires. a fighter with a technical talent, speed and power is very convenient to train...if he could train nonito, another trophy will be added to his shelf as trainer of the year. roach is just jealous...because in the future, he can see that nonito might equal or surpass manny's legacy in boxing. manny is roach's accomplishment, perhaps, he's just upset that he wouldn't be a part of nonito's success for his own legacy as a trainer...

what he quoted about gamboa fight is indirectly saying, "if i train nonito, he will kill gamboa"...that's why garcia reacted...just my opinion...

i respect roach as a trainer, for what he did in transforming a 1 dimensional fighter to a P4P king.

Robert Garcia replied to recent comments from Freddie Roach disparaging the trainer’s prized pupil, unified bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire.

Roach just got owned.

Freddie is my boy, what I mean is, he WAS my boy, until a few years ago when he started talking utter **** every time he opened his mouth.

Way for the " trainer of the year " to shoot himself in the foot by destroying his own credibility.

Roach' criticism on left hook got to be address correctly, the Trainer of Donaire should find ways on how to use Donaire' Right, so as to make him a fighting machine!

I say mould Donaire into fast and furious Fighter, deadly in both left and right punches.

Give Donaire 1 to 2 years before he should move up weight and fight Gamboa, one step at a time, don't rush up things.

*** off you dumb ****.

Have you ever watched a full Donaire fight ?

Serious question.

[LeadUppercut]

Roach should take a better look at the Sidorenko fight cause the 1st time Donaire knocked down Sidorenko(& was saved by the bell) was with a straight RIGHT hand punch & he ended the fight in the 4th with that SAME EXACT PUNCH!! & the fact that he lands that left hook constantly doesn't mean his opponents or their trainers are dumb or otherwise, cause I'm pretty sure his opponents & their team are fully aware of his deadly left hook.. But what Roach doesn't see or just doesn't want to admit is that Donaire sets that punch up perfectly & when his opponent least expects it, it's already in his face!! & Donaire does have a very good right hand punch & he combines them very well..

Donaire is a superbly skilled 2-handed fighter.

That idiot I just replied to is a fkn moron.

[LeadUppercut]

And why did he request the test? Oh that's right, because Margarito was ON CAMERA with a cup of coffee and a bottle of ephedrine was visible in his locker room. The whole point was that the commissioner wasn't doing his job, he just watched Marg.

One thing Roach said that is correct, is that Donaire's opponents don't seem to have an answer for his left hook.

It is explosive, and instinctive..... being aware is one thing, being ready is another, but avoiding that punch..... is something completely different.

[FeFist]

Roach isn't a moron which is why I find his statements petty.
