Wasn't it Freddie who said this was the biggest fight in his career, and they would win every round? Freddie talked about his relationship with Manny as being a father/son type relationship. He dogged Mayweather's father and his camp. He bragged about his game plan and how he's been studying Floyd for 5 yearz.
His game plan was to counter over the jab, and win the rounds on flurries by pushing Floyd to the ropes. What he didn't do is teach his fighter how to jab, and cut off the ring to execute the plan. Didn't see the hop, hop, punch from Manny. Why? Those two lead right hands in the 1st round. Didn't see the angles. Why?, because he was confused because Floyd kept him off balance. As a trainer, you failed to protect your fighter by providing him with a game plan that fits his fighting style. You failed to make adjustments during the fight. You've went quiet because everyone sees that you're overrated, and don't have the knowledge to prepare your fighter with nothing but trash talking to build yourself into believing you're qualified.
Haven't seen the mainstream media follow up with investigating and expert witnesses regarding a tear or torn shoulder. One major sports media outlet was very involved with the fight, with one of their reporter taking a hypocritical stance on domestic violence. Ran a feature twice leading up to the fight. Yet, fails to follow up on this story.
