    Why are fighters seeking Freddie Roach? roach got exposed badly especially in the last Pacquiao fight with Mayweather, his only gameplan is to talk trash and hope fighters get nervous, right now he isn't in optimal condition and his strategies are garbage. He doesn't have the boxing IQ everyone thinks he has even when he was healthy his focus mittwork has always been the same and his strategies.
    It's not Roach they it's probably the guys under Roach who work with the fighters

      Thought Kov said he moved to the west coast due to the weather and to try an build a fanbase due to the fledgling AC scene.

        Tell Chocolatito to go with Nacho.

        After seeing Roach on the mitts with Cotto, I wouldn't advise anyone to join him. He is looking bad. Sad but true.

          Maybe its a business move? HBO loves Roach and Roach is famous and loved in Hollywood maybe they told him to hook up with Roach to get more exposure and focus more on offense?

          Roach is not in good health as evidenced by his mitt work with Manny and Cotto, and Kovalev could really hurt him, Cotto had Roach flying back nearly falling over just jabbing his chest protector.
