Has Roach given good advice in the corner?

[pesticid]

I've seen him with Manny, Postol and Cotto and it seems like he's clueless.

He can not adjust his fighters to fighters who can adjust

Thank you sir! In other words if it's not going as planned we're screwed.

He watches his fighter get outboxed for 10 rounds then his advice is"WE NEED A KNOCKOUT SON"

Well I've heard that too but he never gives a technical advice how to get that knockout like you know go low then high or something.

Roach was telling Postol, "Don't be lazy with your jab. Throw quick, snappy jabs." He told Postol this a few times and he emphasized it. Roach wanted Postol to take control of the fight with his jab. Postol didn't follow his advice at all because he was too worried about getting countered. In fact, I was surprised that Victor barely threw his jab after he was repeatedly told to do so......He actually threw his jab much more in the first 3 rounds.

That's cause Crawford was moving to his left. Victor couldn't throw his jab and when he threw it hard Crawford check hooked him turning the other direction. You don't beat a southpaw with a jab you beat a southpaw with a right hand. That's how the greats do it.

Exactly correct. Postol just could not set up his right with his jab being completely neutralized, brilliant gameplan by Bud.

Yup. Crawford completely neutralized Postol's jab simply by switching his stance. But what was crazy is that Roach didn't seem to be prepared at all, which let's me think that he was actually serious when he said he wasn't worried about Crawford's switch hitting.

Throwing the jab is a death sentence when fighting a southpaw. Opens you up to all kinds of counters. Very surprised that Roach was giving this type of advice.
