Comments Thread For: Roach Tired of Excuses: Who Gives a F*** About Feet!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach is tired of hearing about Timothy Bradley's injured feet in the first fight with Manny Pacquiao, which took place in June of 2012. Bradley won a controversial twelve round split decision.

According to Bradley, both of his feet were injured and blistered because he didn't wear any socks in the ring - something that Bradley believed former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson used to do.

Sounds like Roach is cracking under the pressure. Come fight night, he will be an utter wreck in the corner.

"I didn't wear socks".

Worst, lamest, most inept excuse ever utilized in the history of professional sports.

Honestly, what Roach is saying sounds very bad because it's hypocrite of what he is saying. Back when Pacquiao fought Marquez in their first fight, that was the HUGE excuse that Roach and Pacquiao came up with to explain Pac's lousy performance. I mean it was constantly spoken about after the fight and blamed that Pacquiao had quarter size blisters on his feet due to the crappy socks he wore and it came about after the 3rd rd.
The tables have turned and hearing Roach sound mad about it doesn't make him or the team look good. I think Pac has kept his mouth shut because he realizes they did the exact same excuse a few years ago. Roach really might be losing it at this stage, lol.

If that's true, then it's just as lame as Bradley and the socks.
