    DO you think Roach

    Feels bad about tonight's outcome of Prov basically getting teed off upon all fight. Provs corner had some serious issues with the lack of addressing defensive flaws from prov. I don't think roach would have let him continuously walk into mattyste punches, over and over fce first. I also think roach would have stopped it if prov were in that condition while manning provs corner, in any fight. I think prov took much more overall damage than even the Bradley fight.

    Roach is too busy ****riding Pacquiao to give a crap about Provodnikov.

    What kind of bum ass trainer abandons his fighter on fight night?

    Shame on Roach. Ruslan should go to train with RobertGarcia

      I'm surprised Ruslan didn't jab more

      And move his head more

      And go to the body more

      I picked Ruslan to win based on the premise that he would do those 3 things and I thought he would do them and I was dead wrong

        I don't think a different corner would have made a differnece at all

        They were telling him to move his head and jab and go to the body

        He just wasn't doing much of it

        It comes from training camp

        Either they didn't work on it enough or Ruslan neglected it

        Ruslan had no idea how to deal with Lucas' jab

        You would have thought he would have worked on slipping and countering it especially after algeiri fight

          Ruslan is Ruslan. He's never going to be something he's not, doesn't matter if he's with Roach, Roger Mayweather or Robert Garcia. He is what he is.

          maybe just maybe Pacquiao vs Mayweather is his top priority.

              But that's what he does.

              It really makes no difference who's in his corner or what instructions they give him, he just does what he does with no Plan B and thats why he's always dangerous but will always fall short in the end against fighters who can control him.

              He is a C level fighter who is probably capable of pulling off a big upset sometime.

                Honestly, thought this was pretty disrespectful of Roach. If you don't have time to train your own fighters, give them up. Yes, Pacquiao has a big fight coming up, but how hard would it be for Roach to fly out to New York, work the corner, and then fly back to LA and resume camp for Pacquiao. Pretty ****ed up, if you ask me, Provo should find a better trainer who will be committed to him.

                  it is what it is. Provo admitted and knew good and well Roach would be squared away with Pacquiao for Mayweather.
