Comments Thread For: Roach, Pacquiao on Same Mental Page With Fight Focus

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LOS ANGELES — Freddie Roach's hip is killing him, and his sternum feels like somebody dropped an anvil on his chest. He took a shot to the chin the other day, and it knocked him across the ring onto the far ropes.

Roach knows he doesn't have to take this anymore. He is the most prominent trainer in boxing. His assistants could be in the Wild Card gym's ring with Manny Pacquiao, absorbing the punishment that's inevitable when you work the mitts with an eight-division champion preparing for the biggest fight of his life.

"Everyone says I should take a break, let someone else do it," Roach said. "He wants me to do it. Manny don't want some other guy. When he hits me, he says he's sorry sometimes."

Ooh I can't wait! This fight is going to be so intense!! I really can't see PAC following a plan!! As I study his fights I see him only fighting 1 way. He may start of with a plan but I just don't see him adjusting for 12rnds! How do you plan for someone who adjust to what you do?? I don't think Floyd will stay on the ropes, and I think he will try to impose his size and length advantages! Anything can happen, but I can't see Floyd losing

I doubt it! I do think it will be a masterpiece for 1 of the boxers! PAC could overwhelm Floyd with speed and power and Floyd can dominate PAC with precision, speed, size, and skill!!! Or Floyd could be dominating PAC and PAC lands the perfect punch and tko him! You never know!
