Comments Thread For: Roach Looking To Slow Manny Pacquiao Down in Camp

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

General Santos City - Celebrated trainer Freddie Roach wants to cut back on Manny Pacquiao's relentless training regimen with one month to go before his WBO Intrnational welterweight title fight against Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios in the "Clash in Cotai" at the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino in Macau.

Pacquiao who is returning to the ring after a 6th round knockout at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez last December 8 has pushed himself to the limit in a determined effort to regain his stature as an elite fighter and insisted on going 13 rounds on the punch-mitts with Roach while Top Rank promoter Bob Arum and well known strength and conditioning coach Gavin McMillan looked on.

Roach revealed that Pacquiao has so far had two random drug tests, just like Rios with the second one done today. He said VADA, the Voluntary Anti Doping Agency was conducting the random drug tests and the first test results were both "negative" for Pacquiao and Rios."

some will say test his b sample!

[Rapid Counter]

I predict a "peaked too soon" excuse should the fight not go as planned

[Fetta]

Was pac able to train since testing weakens him so much?

[Nomadic]

Let's hope he don't slow him down as much as Marquez did, it will be another snore fest.

The third world that i come from if a comprehensive test of that nature can come back so quick, that means something less than 100 dollars has been passed on to the guys to pass you......Am pretty sure Philipines has enough Roman catholics to be clean and pure !!

Will Floyd do VADA?

[No-mas-tias]

We've been hearing he's had the best training camp of his career for three straight fights, then the leg cramps and he didn't do all the exercises they required from him excuses pop up after the fight.

it's only the first test result...for all we know that test was taken a few weeks ago..enough time to get a result..

it's good to get a confirmation from pac's camp tho that tests were taken...so roach says tests were taken, VADA founder margareth goodman says tests are being conducted for pac and rios, and the VADA sample collector in ellie seckbach's video said that pac most likely had started testing....
