Comments Thread For: Roach: No Surprise if Mayweather Pulls Out of The Fight

There's still no tickets? I don't understand what they're doing with this event, it's either idiotic or totally amateurish how they're handling it.

Bizarro world for sure....

Highly unlikely, Freddie has said a lot of stuff with too many media outlets listening and reinterpreting him.

They're doing their job. I think Floyd's camp being more quiet is probably less of a tactic than it is just not feeling like cooperating with the media and not wanting to take up time for real training.

It's all well and good that Manny and Roach have been so open and available but it's worrisome as well. Roach said a lot of things about wanting to keep their fight plan secret and emphasizing the importance of that. Yet every week he has revealed more of his thought process to the media.

It's all talk though. Can't wait to see it finally go down. Floyd is not pulling out, and if he did Freddie would definitely be surprised despite what he says. Just more hyping for a fight that doesn't really even need it.

Doubt that happens, Floyd is literally cornered, no turning back now.

... Easy work for Floyd: he's gonna' lockup Pac's arms and win by an all night long arm bar and, maybe, some "eye catching" jabs...

I don't doubt that his chest rubber will find something to ***** during the weigh in

I'm still concerned about the gloves. Will Manny be able to wear his Reyes..

Aaaaand I called it.

I was watching Rocky II yesterday, when Rocky and Mick were talking in the ring just before the fight and they introduce Apollo and Rocky goes "It's Apollo" and Mick goes "Who did you expect" to which Rocky replies "I was hoping he wouldn't show".


Fast forward to May 2nd 2015, Manny "It's Floyd" Roach "Who did you expect" Manny "I thought you said he wasn't going to show" Roach.............. "What did I get myself into"

"Manny has really raised the bar in this training camp. He's a different Manny Pacquiao than I have seen him going into previous training camps. He is punching so much harder in training for this camp.

"Manny is better than ever, his attitude is different and I've never seen him work this hard. His speed is faster, his punches are harder. I'm really happy where he's at. His legs look great; he's on his toes all the time.

"Mayweather is a good counter-puncher, but Manny has faster hands and his combinations are better than Floyd's.

"Both fighters have great experience, so I don't believe that will be a factor in the fight. The biggest thing is that each fighter comes in with a different style. Floyd is a counter-puncher but Manny must be the one to enforce the fight.

Yet people put the whole blame on Floyd...

Yet people put the whole blame on Floyd...

The only people that blame Manny's dad is the people that were hoping Floyd would lose.
