Does Buboy contribute in the corner?

[Young Money]

I just notice it when Freddie says one or two words and the translation of Buboy seems to go on a lot longer.

Also it's painful to watch with Roach struggling to get a word in/stuttering with Buboy shouting over the top.

Its cool that Pac has stuck by Buboy since childhood but if Buboy is giving is own advice in the corner I dont think it's a good idea, especially when Freddie is giving Pac important advice.

Pac would rather choose Buboy than Roach if given a choice which one he will save first from drowning. Roach is an overrated trainer and pain in the ass. He is always the first one to discredit Pac's opponents therefor losing every steam on otherwise magnificent wins.

[New England]

yup.

buboy is probably a calming influence for manny. boxers, even the great ones, need support.


additionally, buboy is a translator in the corner when manny is in deep and doesn't want to deal with the english.



i've heard this from more than once source; the first words that manny said after regaining consciousness after the marquez knockout were "buboy, where are you?"

that's friendship.

[New England]

who else is going to kick photogs in the chest when manny is out cold?

[boliodogs]

I am not a Filipino but I think he must contribute or Pacquiao wouldn't have him there.

Buboy was a childhood friend of Pac. That means dirt poor pac had a friend named Buboy. Who in this board are still friends with someone from their childhood? Pretty sure not Larry or whoever his alts are.

[MBE]

Sure he serves a purpose as does everyone in Manny's corner:

Arum: The brains
Manny: The muscle
Roach: Whatever
Ariza: Special shakes
Koncz: Stock tips
Buboy: The appetite

Lmao at the appetite. I agree with the poster who said what does a fat slob know about boxing. On the other hand I can understand how manny may want a close friend with him in a foreign country when he's in a tough spot in a fight.

[Joe Grizzley]

Buboy is nothing but a hinderance. Thinks he's a trainer.

[low_Bo]

If anything, he's probably a distraction...you think that fat slob knows more about boxing than Roach?

Hahahahahaha fat slob!

[ooohhhnin]

Buboy translates all roachs instruction. Its just that hes more specific. Roach: just box the guy; Buboy: wag mong sabayan ng suntukan, hata lang inde pa oras makipagbugbugan (dont exchange yet with the guy, just box him. Its not yet time to exchange with him)
