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

[AllBoxingAD]

It's a bit too late to worry about concerns, the fight is signed and schedule. All you can do now is prepare for the worse and hope for the best.

NO!

Let them cry it all out!

Thats what they need that right now.

Floyd may have the ref but Pac got Bob Arum...looks even to me

The ref and the judges are immaterial. Fans will know what went down.

But Floyd has Haymon too. CHECKMATE

not gonna watch the entire fight, and since the limit is 4 images per post....point is, pacquiao doesn't have to be an inside fighter for floyd to want to clinch him, he could clinch him for the same reasons mosley did, pressure bursts pipes

You post gifs of Mosley tying Pacquiao up. So what? Did that stop him from beating Mosley? Pacquiao wasn't trying to punch out of it and held just as much as Mosley so what does that prove? If Pacquiao can't win a fight based on that he wasn't good enough to win. In no way is that an excuse or anything excessive.

If I was Manny I would be furious.

After all he has done for Arum, Koncz and Roaches career, they have no faith in his skill or heart.

I mean, I would take it as a insult, like Pac needs excuses, Pac is a HOF in his own right, why are they babying him.

I feel like the manny camp is getting really paranoid. We're still a month and a half away but all we've heard so far is stolen sparring partners, closing the wild card during training so no film goes out, Koncz putting a watchdog on usada, and know the ref may be in on it. I love manny, but he people around him are starting to lose it.

[antrecasner]

just like he fought maidana floyd will throw a combination then wrap up his opponent to keep them from punching back. This is a common strategy to a lot of fighters. Now do you understand? It has nothing to do with fighting inside or out.

There's nothing to understand. Manny is not Maidana, peroid. If Floyd goes in there with that strategy he's gonna get caught guaranteed. Comparing Maidana and Manny speed for speed is like comparing Barry Sanders to Jerome Bettis.

I don't see Pacquiao winning if he doesn't knock Mayweather the **** out. Even if he knocks him out he will get a draw or disqualification

It'll be me xD
