Comments Thread For: Roach Admits Concern Over Mayweather-Pacquiao Ref

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

Man this camp's crying a lot. Prepare and fight already guys

They're not in the camp just to talk. They obviously are preparing.

Wow!!!!

Now Roach is worried about the Referee's

1. Sparring partners
2. Judges
3. Referee's
4. USADA
5. (Insert excuse here)

I think we need a running total to account for all the worries and post-fight excuses.

Hopefully no BS like the maidana 2 fight.... otherwise bayless has been a great ref throught.... unless it was with floyd

LOL thats floyd's best friend ohh kenny, I do agree it should be smoger, no joe cortez either

I don't think I've ever seen Roach so worried about a fight before. For someone who thinks Pac is going to win by KO he sure has a lot of concern for everything. Pac has to fight perfect, he can't walk into punches, who's the ref, blah blah blah...

Just let Pac be himself and fight.

ref wont matter much in this fight. manny is a mid range fighter. he literally has no inside game.

Exactly this! I can't see Floyd wanting to stay close long enough to try to tie Manny up and Manny just doesn't fight that way.

The ref won't be very important for this fight imo.

I believe Freddie is right on bringing up who the referee is it was a definitely a factor when floyd fought Hatton. Although Floyd was going to win regardless. Cortez wouldn't let Hatton fight his fight. I still believe mayweather is the superior boxer against pacquiao and should win but we'll see.

Roach always picks his fighters to win by KO. If malignaggi were trained by roach, roach would predict by KO

Next week, Roach will complain about the photographers and the flash on their cameras. The week after that, he will claim that Al Haymon is paying off the ring card girls so that they will wear skimpier outfits that show more T & A so that they can distract Pacquaio.

Roach claims that he is confident that Pacquaio will KO Mayweather, yet he is coming up with every excuse in the world for a Pacquaio loss. It is obvious that Roach knows Pacquaio will lose, especially since Pac is not going to be able to use his usual training techniques: PacPEDS twice a day.

^This. Although to be fair to Roach he has admitted this is going to be the challenge of his life. Deep down inside he knows this is true. I keep reading how they've developed a strategy against Floyd but here's the thing. They better have a plan B, C, D and E to go with that. They better have an adjustment for Floyd's adjustment.

I thought Pacroid was going to knock Floyd out, so why would Freddie be concerned. Every 3-4 seconds Freddie has a thought & each time it's about Mayweather, the guy is about to bust a vein leading to his heart if he doesn't watch it. Every day there's more & more excuses coming out of Roach's mouth about this fight. Hey Freddie try doing your job as a trainer & leave the ref, judges and business part of the sport to those in their right mind. You are starting to look & act like a guy in serious need of mental medical attention. I hate to see you once Floyd disposes of Pacroid once & for all. I guess they'll need to hire someone to take care of all your daily needs because you'll be in such a depressed state of mind they just might have to lock you up in the crazy ward.
