Comments Thread For: Roach: Me Training Rousey is Rumor, No Official Approach

[Bronx2245]

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...

I think I could've trained Manny to beat De La Hoya and Margarito. Oscar was crazy to think he could fight @ 147, and Margarito dropping to 150 was a strategic blunder (but financially good). Rios had just lost to Alvarado, so that tells you what level he was on. I think Rigo's approach should be "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," and I think Nacho would be a better fit than Roach.

roach will just make it worse for RR

I don't think so. At least compared to that bum ass trainer she has now. But no amount of training in boxing will help her. She could have all of the best trainers at once showing her everything and she still wouldn't beat Holly Holm.

Let that be a lesson to all MMAers, don't ever try to box with a boxer.

Ronda DID try to take her to the ground. Three times by my count. And failed all three.

People keep putting it like it was just outboxing. No, Holm outclassed her at her own game once she knocked her loopy mid-first round. That first lead punch dictated the rest of the fight and even Rousey admits that.

But that flaw's always been there. We saw it when Rousey faced McMann too. Holm was just better at it.

Lousy Rousey is finished and is now a loser by KO

Rousey is never coming back to face Holly Holm who would just destroy the vastly overrated Lousy Rousey again by KO. Rousey was a fraud a fake who beat up weak broads with few skills. Then Lousy Rousey got Holm schooled and violently Ko'd and humiliated and finished as all America cheered as Lousy got counted out. Rousey is a hated de****able person going down faster than SZP did. Freddy tried training MMA's Arlovski and that went terrible. Rousey is a fraud.

Roach training her would be a bad thing, two reasons:

1. Roach don't believe in defense, he believe in overwhelming opponents with offense. Rousey need defense against Holm. Holm damn near landed every punch she threw at her.

2. Roach is a one trick pony, when plan A fail, he believes in trying it again and again. That was Rousey mistake in the first fight, she was one dimensional.

With that said, I just don't believe Rousey has the skill or strength to beat Holm period. I fear a rematch will fair the same results, if not worse.

[The Gambler1981]

Yea I think Rousey should forget about boxing for the moment, at least put it on the back burner because she will never have that be a strength. She needs to learn some wrestling to learn how to take someone down.

Standing up with Holmes is bad news for her no matter what she does.

Roach isn't going to MAKE rigo do anything lol. He's just a trainer. Do you think rigo doesn't have the ability to trade or stay in the pocket? He just doesn't want to.

Why would Roach waste his time and talent training Rhonda "Lard Ass ********** Face" Lousey?
