Comments Thread For: Garcia Shakes Head at Roach's 'Trainer of The Year' Nod

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Trainer Robert Garcia is shocked with Freddie Roach being voted in as the '2013 Trainer of the Year' by the Boxing Writers Association of America. Garcia believes that his own achievements in 2013 - with Mikey Garcia, Evgeny Gradovich and Marcos Maidana - rival anything that Roach was able to do.

Garcia became the WBO featherweight and super featherweight champion. Gradovich captured the IBF's featherweight title, and Marcos Maidana became the WBA welterweight champion with a huge upset win over Adrien Broner.

lol this is so funny to me considering that roach defintiely didnt deserve it and the fact that garcia hates roach lol

[ShoulderRoll]

He's right. Even if you don't think that Robert Garcia should have won there is no way that Roach did enough to deserve that award last year.

politics is boxing.

Agree. It's a bad look.

But then again Garcia and team aren't exactly known to be very savvy politically in the boxing world.

[LAFIRPO]

Gotta agree with Garcia on this one. Roach really didn't have that many accomplishments to be voted trainer of the year.

I always thought Roach had a huge chip on his shoulder. I respect the man for what he has and his going through, but sometimes the dude just sounds like a hating, grumpy man.
