oscar blueprint = quit from a shot to the body and roll around

And pond the ground trying to pretend your upset when he actually took a drive.

If Freddie Roach trained Paulie Malignaggi, he would predict Malignaggi by KO.

Lol. That's funny. I think it's an exaggeration but funny nonetheless

Now that Roach predicted a KO it's safe to say Cotto is not knocking Canelo out. Heck, I don't think he wins this one. Canelo will beat him for 12 rounds.

Trainer Freddie Roach is very confident that Miguel Cotto will not only win, but wins by knockout in the late rounds when he defense his WBC middleweight title against Saul "Canelo" Alvarez on November 21st at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Roach has trained Cotto for his last three fights, which were all won by knockout. There have been criticisms over the bouts due to catch-weights involved and other related issues.

"Barely able to stand" whoever wrote this a complete moron who lacks any credibility.

Well, Roach has been accurate with Cotto since he's been with him, predicting stoppages. Cotto is the better student with Roach, than Pacquiao was. He seems to really listen and stick to the instructions given to him. I always felt the language barrier between Roach and Pac would have some faults, with Buboy interpreting or giving his own instruction.

Cotto hasn't fought anyone with a pulse since Austin Trout handed him his ass in a doggy bag. 40 year old Martinez did NOT have a pulse. Neither did journeyman Geale.

At one point Roach opinion once had validity now its just like the boy who cried wolf.

No one believes you anymore.

Trout barely won and that was his best night ever. Cotto was not game at all that night. Cotto would destroy Trout with ease today.

Go back to sleep, Roach.

Why does Roach insist on mouthing off on behalf of his fighters. I'm a Cotto fan but this is by far his toughest fight for a while. If it goes to a slugfest I think Canelo's youth will give him a big advantage. Plus, Cotto has been in some brutal fights, how much more does he have left in the tank?

I did actually think Canelo was a lot bigger than Cotto, but the presser pics show they are actually fairly close.

Freddy loves to talk out of his azz, but in this case, I believe he did it to ****e the promotion up a little. Neither Cotto or Canelo are trash talkers, (Manny neither) so he take it on himself to do it...sometimes he gets really annoying...at least to me...I believe he's doing it to hype the fight up....i have to say that Canelo and Cotto don't talk much but they will put on a show on fight night!!! really looking forward to this one!!!
