Comments Thread For: Freddie Roach To Algieri: This is a Fight, Not a Marathon

[Build That Wall]

Seriously...Roach isnt one bit worried about this fight. Chris is light years away from Pac. I just hope Manny dont have mercy on this guy and he just brutalizes his ass. Send him back to kick boxing.

If Pacquiao loses, It will most likely be his fault. Right now his focus on basketball should be troubling if you are rooting for pacquiao. Ruslan knocked Algieri down three times and expected the fight to be easy work, Algieri won that fight, and Ruslan underestimated him. Pacquiao shouldn't underestimate him. I fully expect Pacquiao to win. But if Pacquiao loses fair and square, he has no one to blame but himself.

Oh boy, here we go.. Does Roach seriously believe Algieri is going to stand there and trade punches with Pacquiao? 40% KO's and all?

[Mr.Fantastic]

Then why pick him?

[Realboxingfan1]

So that is what you understood? Perhaps he meant that he boxed more in that fight? Well, that is what Manny meant by the word runner .....

All I know is this marathon word has been thrown around since Lara,I personally don't think pac-girl ran but it came out of his mouth so I'm taking it that way ,don't say you ran if you didn't .roach has some balls tho talking shht after his strategy against rios ,but Lara was a fkn joke that was a marathon.

You have to really look at this guys resume. Its as bad as Wilders. hes been fighting bums. Rusaln isnt no where near Mannys level. This dude is gonna shlt once Manny turns it on!

[PAC-BOY]

Then why pick him?

Because he has one of them meaningless straps!

[LoadedWraps]

Roach is such a clown. Then why take the fight if you think he's such a *****? Why not challenge yourselves by fighting top competition. The guy has zero integrity.

El-blanco just bodied Roach.

Algieri is a fraud. If you go to his website hes saying that he was undefeated in kickboxing, was iska champ with 20 wins. The training place where he was at saying another record. When he got KNOCKED THE F OUT. Ive been taking shotokan karate for over 10 years and follow ISKA, Ive never heard of this chris algieri.

The guy was 20-0 in sanctioned professional kickboxing fights including 2 World Titles. So what are you talking about? What does u studying martial arts for 10 years and not hearing of Algieri have to do with anything? Algieri lost 1 fight that was NOT a sanctioned fight in an organization that featured fighting "teams" called World Combat League in a fight that he was pretty much dominating and got caught with a hard right hook and counted out. He later went on to avenge that unsanctioned loss to the same guy in a sanctioned pro fight and destroyed him. He is 20-0 as a pro boxer as well. Career record in sanctioned professional fights is 40 wins and 0 defeats...so what makes you think he is a fraud exactly?
