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

[The_Sandman]

Hall-of-Fame trainer Freddie Roach is crossing his fingers that whoever gets appointed to referee the May 2nd blockbuster will do the right thing and call the fight down the middle.

Roach's fighter, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, will unify his crown against WBC/WBA champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. The fight will headline a pay-per-view event from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, which is Mayweather's home venue and hometown.

Roach is not worried about the judges - even though Pacquiao felt he was robbed at the same venue when losing a disputed twelve round decision to Timothy Bradley in 2012.

Is it just me or does Roach and their camp just seems more nervous than Mayweather. Mayweather is just training, quietly doing his thing. Roach seems to be all over the place. Maybe it's just excitement, but he is hype as ****.

Can anyone blame him after seeing the rematch between Floyd and Maidana??? Seriously, that fight was handled like as if Kenny was under the TMT banner.

According to Roach, Pacquiao is knocking him out right? So what does it matter who the ref is? Roach is all over the place, he says one thing today, then tomorrow it is another.

It seems to me that Pac and Roach have been the ones doing all the talking lately. Usually it's Floyd doing all the talking. Maybe Roach is just giving more time to give interviews and Floyd is telling them to **** off while he trains.

We already know Floyd won't be a fan if Tony Weeks gets the job. He protested big time when he fought maidana the first time out calling him a dirty fighter but I didn't think maidana was intentionally fighting dirty or at all I just don't think Floyd liked the pressure maidana brought.

i haven't heard one concern come out of Mayweather's camp but i've heard a million from Pacquiao's camp smh

I hope it's Tony Weeks.....Floyd held Guerrero to death as well as Maidana in the rematch. Thanks to Tony, the first Maidana fight was interesting.

I agree man with you man I thought Kenny would've handled it different but Nah. He was definitely under the banner. I still believe Floyd is going to win but anything can happen we'll see.

I think Smoger would be good here, although he disgraced himself in Hop v Murat

Yes it was really interesting maidana fought well and Tony let them fight without getting in the middle...he didn't have to.
