Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia: Khan Made The Right Move To Hire Hunter

[ShoulderRoll]

I like when trainers acknowledge other trainers and give them the respect they deserve. Unlike around here where the keyboard and tv experts dismiss them.

Yeah, it was cool of Garcia to give credit to Virgil Hunter while still refusing to throw Freddie Roach under the bus.

If kahn wasnt happy with Freddie Roach, it behooved him to make a decision and move on to another trainer. There's no question Freddie is a great, great, trainer. If you see the documentaries and 24/7's (with Freddie) you see how hard working he is. I feel at this point in time, Freddie is working too hard and given his circumstances, he may not be able to keep up his normal pace. I couldnt help but notice in his last fight Freddie looked fatigue and had trouble communicating with his fighter. Freddie, slow down bud. Give your undivided attention to less fighters, it will do everyone good in the long run.

Wrong - Freddie, out of his 13 losses, got laid out 3 times, and was known for eating leather. Why do you think he has Parkinson's and started to show it in his mid-20's?

With that said, if you have a cat that can't take a punch, and you're not known for your defensive acumen, you send him to someone who can teach him defense. Freddie is partially responsible, simple as that. And Khan is responsible as well, for portraying a professional with an amateur style, being reckless with a china-laced chin......
