Comments Thread For: Roach Admits His Concern About One Man in Team Rios

[jey8100]

is this a fact?

btw, pacquiao comes from a harsher environment than rios(from what i know)

No, it is simply an obsevation and an opionion. Compare the way Rios carries him self and the way fighter we would consider smart or some what smart carry them selves. He behave as what he is.

dude all you do is reply with some discrediting or hate comment in any pac thread. Do you ever contribute anything like studying fight and analysis or do you just suck floyds ****?

one thing you have to know about flint is that there is no other fighter for him than floyd,he is the biggest floyd c ock rider in here,thats why i stopped replying to his lame comments

pacquiao is going to punish rios. he's made for pacquiao just like margarito was made for mosley. margarito got destroyed by many and still had some momens in the fight, rios is just going to take the beating of his life, he'll be a lot dumbr then what he already is. I like the Garcia camp but I cant stand Brandon rios as a person love watching him fight but his personality is of douche

warrrrrrr many !!warrrrr roach!!

Well, everyone already knows that Pacquiao allows his team to cherry pick his opponents. He's been doing this for a while so it's no surprise. I wasn't shocked when Rios was selected. Pacquiao doesn't do too well against guys who can box. Alvarado can box so he doesn't get the opportunity. Roach is concerned about the dad because he can implement boxing into the gameplan. Anyone preparing to face Manny Pacquiao should look to use a boxing based gameplan utilizing movement and angles. Disrupt his rhythm and force him to reset while you pop him with jabs all night. Boxing is the key to defeating the great Pacman The Destroyer.

He did pretty good against Bradley, did better against Bradley than Marquez did, also he did good against julio at 122 who was a boxer always circling and sticking his jab, the only style that give pac trouble is a matador counter puncher someone who has the balls to trade when he trades, and that is Marquez. Floyd is a pot shotter who covers up, so stop with this boxer, Pac beat a good boxer puncher in Barrera, and Morales out fought Pacman he didn't run back like Marquez and fire off counters, he actually pushed Pac back.

So why is it you keep repeating he has trouble with boxers? He has pretty much beat all kinds of styles.

I had removed him from block but just blocked him again lol, I thought if I remove him he would post something other than pac sucks, but looks like the guy has the brain of a afghan hound just repetitive and simple repeating the same ****** crap over and over. I wonder if he is even a fan of boxing. I never seen him analyze fights just post negative **** about pacman.

There's no doubt in my mind that Rio's is going to get PLUMMETED by Pac.
Really easy pickings and it could wind up being the end of Rio's career alla Margarito.

I fear that sadly, Pacquiao vs Rios is going to be a lot like RJJ vs Glencoffe (Glen) Johnson. RJJ was hands down the superior fighter in EVERY aspect aside from the chin. Roy was coming off a MASSIVE KO loss to Tarver and picked to fight Glen thinking he would be able to outbox a solid but limited fighter. Roy got knocked out and it was due to him NOT taking a tune up fight after such a brutal KO loss. Rios is not on Pacquiaos level but was Glencoffe on RJJ's? Hell no. But Glencoffe still KO'd him and had us all shaking our heads. This is what I fear the Pacman vs Rios fight will be like.

What Roach should be worried about is whether or not Pacquiao is actually having a serious training camp. No real strength and conditioning coach, as well as no real sparring partners is a recipe for disaster and I just don't think that he really has the desire to fight any longer. At this point I believe he feels it's obligatory because he carries the weight of an entire country on his back and wants to save face for that knockout by Marquez. My gut tells me that the Pacquiao of old is gone, which I hate to admit, but the minute he began to dictate what he did or didn't want to do in training camp, he started to decline. Compare the old 24/7 episodes where he was knocking people out and you'll see the difference. If there's drama in the Pacquiao camp this time, you'll see Rios punish him in the ring. If all is right and he's dedicated, we might see a different fight.
Say what you will about FMJr, but he's a straight up gym rat who commits to his training and that's why he's still on top.

How long have you been following boxing? Because Pac has always been a guy that the potential is there for him to not be all-in in training. I remember an article in Ring magazine prior to the first Barerra fight that talked about how great Pac was. But his outta-the-ring lifestyle was gonna be his downfall with all the gamblinmg, whoring, late nights in the poolhall, drinking, etc. And I vividly remember Roach being furious at the lack of interest Pac had in the camp for the Barrera rematch.

It's TOO BAD you have no idea what you're talking about, stating Pacquiao has no strength and conditioning coach in camp, or doing no sparring???? You need drug tested. Pacquiao started sparring EARLY in camp, you clown. And just because they don't have some high profile "name" in camp for strength and conditioning, you think they have nobody???? Dude, grow up. Freddie Roach is a professional, and runs a very thorough camp for all his fighters. What a ****** remark by some idiot at his computer punching out his own clown.
