Why Doesn't Freddie Roach Teach Defense?

[Build That Wall]

why didn't bhop get koed when roach was training him? surprising.

Bernard Hopkins has never been KOed. And he has had a good defense before Roach and still has a good defense.

But he did get knocked down vs Segundo Mercado Twice in their first fight. But that was 1994.

Have you ever seen Roach fight??? hard to teach what you do not know yourself

[Left Hook Tua]

No, But having a good defense makes it less likely for a fighter to get KOed.

floyd patterson must not have any def then with all his kd and ko.

neither did ken norton.


they should have tried cus damato's peek a boo stance or archie moore's cross armed guard.

Knockouts happen in boxing

[Left Hook Tua]

waits for flo mo to google archie moore, cus damato, ken norton and floyd patterson.

[Dinamita 03]

Either way your logic is flawed. Roach is an offense first type of trainer so naturally his fighters take more risks making them more susceptible to getting tagged.

[Larry the boss]

But judging a fighters defense by the fact they were ko'd or floored is not an accurate call..this is boxing and 1 mistake can change a fight...

Good point. But still, he should learn how to teach defense. Floyd Sr or Naazim Richardson could teach him a thing or two about defense.

waits for flo mo to google archie moore, cus damato, ken norton and floyd patterson.

If anyone needs to google those names then they should be banned on the spot
