Comments Thread For: Roach on 6th BWAA Trainer Award: “It’s Good to Be Back”

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

For the sixth time in his career, Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach has received the Eddie Futch Trainer of the Year award from the Boxing Writers Association of America.

Roach also won the award in 2003, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

“It's good to be back,” Roach said in a statement sent to media members. “We had one year off when it seemed like nothing was going our way. But last year it all came together again. I'd like to thank the BWAA for this honor, and even though I may be the recipient, I represent the collective efforts of the most talented and hardest-working fighters and assistant trainers in the world, and I thank them all from the bottom of my heart.” [Click Here To Read More]

It should've been Angel Garcia or Floyd Mayweather Sr. What has Roach done recently to win trainer of the year?

Roach definitely deserved the nod over Robert Garcia

Robert trained Donaire over the phone against Rigo and had a roided up Rios lose every round against a Roach trained Pacquiao

I admit I don't pay a lot of attention, but what did Roach fighters do this year? If the stuff listed in the article is all, he probably shouldn't have won.
