Julio Cesar Chavez Jr is leaving Freddie Roach?!?!

[BarryRobinson]

Why are these fighters blaming the trainer?

[Jloro]

He's mad he wants him to train every so often

[Bring It On]

Wow, 2012 was beyond ****ty for Freddie. Insane really.

But I guess he's not too upset over this, didn't exactly sound like JCCjr was his favorite fighter. Skipping workouts, training in the middle of the night etc.

[Pez]

Really bad year for Freddie. When Pac goes, he should retire.

i am a fan of freddie roach but if a fighter wants a new trainer I dont see why its such a big deal. if he thinks another can make him a better fighter or maybe more focused why not give it a try. I just dont see the big deal in changing trainers. the wild card is kinda the celebrity of boxing gyms. I could see fighters being distracted by all that

I dont think its bad luck that all his fighters loose and get knocked out.

[Kris Silver]

Although the fighters hold a lot of responsibility, the unpleasant truth is the signs are there that Roach is not training his guys the defense they need, and that his worsening health is ruining both his physical and mental abilities to improve fighters.

Nobody likes that realisation, and it's not total blame. Total blame is bad taste and he is still a great trainer. But I don't blame any boxer for making the difficult to decsion to try someone, and something else. Especially when the defense of all of his top boxers are getting exposed more, not less, over time.

[Cinci Champ]

ya i agree but i dont think its his training i think its other things. distractions and such. if you look at the match ups from his fighters this year its really not as big a deal as you would think. i do think he has gotten maybe a little to hungry for knockouts cause of the money, and he does teach that aggressive style. i think hell figure it out this will only make him better in the end

[TheRealNess]

Bout time He gets rid of that bum trainer. He only answer for everything is to get off first and dont let him push you back.

[Cinci Champ]

wonder if freddie will get a new high profile fighter now he has less fighters
