Comments Thread For: Roach: Me Training Rousey is Rumor, No Official Approach
According to Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, there is no truth to the circulating rumors that he plans to assist UFC superstar Ronda Rousey with her next training camp.
Rousey is the the fighter she is, Roach won't do **** a good matchmaker can't do. That's all, Rousey was put in with someone serious who she will never be able to beat and nothing Roach says or does will ever change that.
What about the rumor that you got an offer to train Rigo?
I love the idea of Roach training a runner like Rigo... he'd make Rigo actually make an opponent miss and strike and not just make his opponent miss and run or clinch kind of like Pacquiao did against De La Hoya, Margarito and Rios...
Obviously Roach would be a huge help to Ronda, but not for Holly. There is no way at this point in her career, Ronda will put in the time to learn to become a superb boxer, so to beat Holly she needs to practice her take down technique. She'd be better off training with someone who is best specialized in take down, whether wrestling or judo etc.
LOL I see the FIomos who feel the need to suck off Floyd and bash everyone Floyd has a rivalry with.
At least, Ronda actually fights the opponents put in front of her and not avoid the biggest threat to her for lame reasons such as "my blood testing company only", "40 mil guarantee," "My health comes first."
I also don't remember Ronda using IVs the night before her fights...
Does Roach got a strategy for dealing with kicks to the f#cking head?
I think Rousey needs more than a boxing trainer. HER guy is a boxing guy so while I'm sure she could learn a thing or two from Roach that'd help her there seems to have been a failure to develop a full 5 round strategy if Holm should not submit from an armbar in the first minute of the fight.
