Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Will Knock Vargas Out in The Late Rounds

Not a pay-per view quality fight at all.

I guess if you keep predicting KOs, eventually you'll be correct? This was my best Roach prediction:

April 29, 2015:

LAS VEGAS – Freddie Roach made the extraordinary claim on Wednesday morning that he believes Floyd Mayweather could pull out of his Saturday showdown with Manny Pacquiao at the last moment and leave the “Fight of the Century” in tatters.

Over breakfast at his Las Vegas hotel, Pacquiao’s trainer Roach repeatedly told USA TODAY Sports that he fears Mayweather will find an excuse to withdraw from the contest, despite the huge amounts of money spent on tickets, pay per views and the overall production.

When asked for his thoughts on the matchup, Roach interjected swiftly. “If (Mayweather) shows up,” he said. “I am still worried about that. I won’t believe it until I see him in front of us in the ring.”

USA TODAY Sports repeatedly quizzed Roach as to whether he was joking, or merely trying to fan the flames of controversy in the build-up to the clash. Each time he was adamant that he held genuine concerns that Mayweather could cook up an excuse to miss the fight, such as a training injury or an illness.

But why would the man known as “Money” skip out on the chance to make more than $150 million for a night of work?

“I just think he was forced into this fight,” Roach said. “He didn’t want this fight. Every fight he has had in his lifetime was one that he picked. This is the first one he was forced into and I feel he was uncomfortable. They made him take it, Showtime.”

How ironic? Which fighter "didn't show up," and then claimed a training injury?

STFU Roach! Manny hasn't knocked nobody out in 8 years and you always say the same B.S!
Just keep your mouth shut and take your medication!

Floydie fans have a set of rules for Floydie, and a set for all other fighters.

Wonder if anyone has ever told Roach he said this the past like dozen fights, yet it never happens. Ironically, the way Vargas goes ballzout, and leaves himself open a bunch, this time Freddie could be right.

does floyd not predicts kos for his fights? how long ago since floyd has a ko? but when roach makes a prediction all of a sudden "manny hasnt had a ko in so long why would roach say such a thing"? lol!!! why should i blame roach? if i blame him then you should blame floyd for doing the same thing too then right? lol. a trainer will always brag about his fighters. you should know this.
