Alex Ariza filed lawsuit Friday to sue Freddie Roach for defamation

[ThePunchingBag]

But Brandon Rios failed a post fight drug test when he never failed one before and it was his first fight with Ariza

Roach made those comments after the fight.

I don't see how Roach loses this in court. Its like saying the sky is blue

Yeah, that's the way I see it.

It could come back to bite Ariza in the ass if he's not careful.

next thing you know Freddie will counter Ariza with an Assault charge he can take that to Chinese court and have Ariza locked up abroad for the assault in Macau and than Ariza mysteriously drops the case lol.

Didn't Justin Fortune sue Roach for claiming he took steroids or something like that? and nothing came of it and he dropped the suit?
Roach doesn't know when to shut his mouth, this is how you know he let the fame get to his head he thinks he is untouchable. it happens to all big headed famous people.

No. Roach already talked about it in this video and said he paid him money to settle the claim. Ariza has a case here.

What a b1tch Ariza is. Rios tests positive and the Garcia camp still have ariza around - shows how shady Garcia camp is.

I wonder how the 'dirty glass' routine will hold up in court.

[Kris Silver]

Surely it'll backfire if the main reference is that video. Freddie points out mere facts of him asking Ariza what he was giving his fighter, and Ariza's new fighter suddenly failing a drug test. How can anyone not openly point out these occurrences.

Freddie almost denying he said this even is silly though. Not that it was wrong saying it but I don't believe he simply forgets what he's said,especially on camera.

I guess the reference to "shady" might be considered slander?

I don't see how the other parts can be. Maybe this isn't the video though, because in the article it says "gave performance-enhancing drugs" is in quotation marks suggesting Roach may have said it elsewhere? or maybe they're quoting Ariza's lawsuit.

It's a shame if Freddie said more, the video above was fair and a valuable insight in fact. But given there accusations on Mayweather's claims to be slanderous,he should know to be careful.

Fancy a bet on the big rematch?

This is weak and I don't see where Ariza has a case.

Ariza kicks roach I'm the chest and in return roach tells him he kicks like a girl. Roach says that ariza use to give Pac shakes and not tell him what's in it and he wants to sue him. Lol.

lol Groves almost cost me the last time. I'll go with 1m points on Froch this time.

If Ariza really did have Pac on gear at some point, surely it's not in Roach's interest to ever put accusations of this nature out there. Ariza's reputation being damaged is ultimately damaging to Pacquiao's reputation purely by association. And the likelihood of Ariza admitting that he gave Pac dodgy stuff (if in fact he did) is way higher if Ariza is already outed as a PED peddler, as he would have much less to lose.

For one thing it makes you think that if Ariza was giving Manny stuff then Freddie didn't know much about it.
