Comments Thread For: Roach: Mayweather Tasted Defeat, He'll Taste It Again!

[PeterinMI]

Pacquiao is the underdog in the contest, but there is a lot of money coming down on the Filipino star. Mayweather suffered several defeats as an amateur. As a professional, he's lost very few rounds in the last couple of years. Styles make fights and Roach is confident his fighter has the style to win.

No problem with trash talk and confidence but you shouldn't say things that are easily verifiable as wrong, i.e. amateur record.

Amateur Record: 84 Wins, 6 Losses

1993
Michigan State Golden Gloves Champion, 106 pounds
National Golden Gloves Champion, 106 pounds

1994
Michigan State Golden Gloves Champion, 112 pounds
National Golden Gloves Champion, 112 pounds

1995
National PAL Champion, 125 pounds
United States Amateur Featherweight champion

1996
Michigan State Golden Gloves Champion, 125 pounds
National Golden Gloves Champion, 125 pounds

Sure looks like a few amateur national championships to me. Granted I am a little more aware as I have some of the old Golden Gloves brochures from the Michigan finals to verify the records.

Maidana I, I had it 7-5

Jesus, I scored the Oscar fight 9-3 for Floyd.

How do you score yourself when you have your tongue up Fraud's ass?

Fraud has 3 losses, Castillo, ODLH and Maidana I. And he knows it, that's why he gave Castillo and Maidana rematches and went into "retirement" when Oscar beat him and got robbed.

it is in the contract, Pac team has to do these interviews whether they like it or not.

But its about controlling the narrative. Pac can answer questions about the fight and give his hammed answers while team Floyd is answering questions everyday about Roach's comments. Whether it affects Floyd or not, and it probably doesn't, its fun to see Roach trying to get under their skin.

Point is he hasn't tasted defeat since turning pro if you have to go back 20+ years to talk about losses he suffered as a amateur is reaching what motivation can you give your fighter of bringing up losses suffered by your opponent as a amateur

that floyd is not that invincible? i am not really sure if that was Roach's motivation for bringing that up.

only fight that's questionable is castillo fight he clearly beat Oscar and maidana if that's the logic pacfans have then you can add on 2 more losses to pac record because Marquez won second and third fight

Venue - murica
Networks - muricans
ring announcer - murican
commentators - muricans
judges - muricans
referee - murican
Floyd - murican
Pac - Philpins

if this is not going to be a hometown decision i don't know what is.

Because the tard nation would still be like:

Venue - Manila
Networks - ABS-CBN
ring announcer - Buboy
commentators - muricans
judges - Filipino politicians
referee - Mexican
Floyd - murican
Pac - Philpins

It's gonna be rigged because Mexico is closer to the US so the Mexican ref will help Floyd

Not sure if you pay attention, but most fights in America employ Americans

it's pointless to even bring up and then get information wrong at that

Works like that in any country that put on fights uk uses uk judges refs uk venue some people just like stirring up the back and forth banter with asinine statements like that

what do you suggest, Roach tells Pac about his losses in the Pro like Castillo 1 and Maidana 1? would that motivate Pac enough?

sorry i was just kidding.

Roach will do and say anything to even up the mind games whether it is logical or senseless I think he does not mind.

I watched Floyd-Castillo yesterday in full ... Castillo won the fight.

Floyd did beat Maidana both times. 8-4 in the 1st one but competitive.
Floyd did beat ODLH but it was close. They could and should have done a rematch.
