Comments Thread For: Roach: Algieri in Over His Head, Pacquiao Too Much

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach believes Chris Algieri (20-0, 8KOs) bit off more than he chew by accepting a fight with eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao on November 22nd in Macau, China.

In June, Algieri won an upset decision over another Roach boxer, Ruslan Provodnikov, to capture the WBO junior welterweight title. Roach felt Provodnikov was robbed of a win and anticipates Pacquiao to overwhelm Algieri.

Algieri is a very big underdog in the match, as he was against Provodnikov. The fight is taking place at catch-weight of 144-pounds for Pacquiao's WBO welterweight championship.

Freddie is absolutely right. This is a joke of a fight and it would be hard to watch even if it was free on TV... which honestly it should be

I will probably get the fight and don't think for a second that this will be an easy fight for Manny. I do expect him to win a decision though.

Roach is a idiot...somebody need to pay him to be quiet

I like this fight because the guy is undefeated, tall and a good boxer. I like seeing a what small guys like Pacquiao can do against these odds.

i think this is a decent match up. way better than garcia vs salka and the now provo vs an out of the retirement home castillo.

freddie roach is an idiot, jermain taylor is just misunderstood

[MRCHOKEaMF]

isnt this the reason why Pac is fighting him? to look good? remember this little nugget, "IM NOT GOING TO PUT MANNY IN A FIGHT HE CANT WIN, IM NOT GOING TO PUT MANNY IN A FIGHT I THINK HE HAS A CHANCE TO GET HURT IN, MY NUMBER ONE JOB IS TO PROTECT THE FIGHTER" SAID ROACH."

Dunno about Algieri being over his head, but Roach is always over his head with his comments before every Pacquiao fight.
