Comments Thread For: Roach Says He'll Pick Sparring Partners for Pacquiao This Time

[WesternChamp]

Wow, really roach??? Just ****ing retired!! You're Manny's trainer and you're telling us you didnt pick pac's sparring partners for the horn fight and it was up to koncz instead???

[AdonisCreed]

Wow shouldn't Manny have some say so about who he wants as his sparring partner?? I mean he is the one that'll actually be in the ring. All jokes aside Manny is hof no doubt he needs to be more vocal and have more control over his own career. This is sad at this point, I mean we're talking about a rematch with Jeff Horn c'mon!! We should be talking about a higher caliber opponent Porter, Spence, Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, Crawford, even Lomachenko I mean seriously. All do respect to Jeff Horn for getting a strap but when the fight was announced the majority expected Pac to rip this guy in about 4 rounds tops!! No excuses.

If Roach is Pacquiao's trainer why in the world would his financial advisor be the one choosing his sparring partners? Makes no sense to me whatsoever. As the person who spends the most time with him and actually trains him, Roach should be the one choosing those sort of things in my opinion.

All the brothas were paid off. Seriously lol IDK why pacfans dont bring that up more. I thought it was pretty funny when I read about it. They resorted to a black MMA fighter and some Haitian/Canadian as sparring partners and still got info leaked.

Yeah, that black mma fighter is the key sparring partner for Conor McGregor, Dashon Jackson or something.

That was very weird how Floyd and his camp were paying the black sparring partners not to train with Manny.

Ive never seen a fighter do this **** for real I always thought boxers wanted to fight the scariest challenges available who are around their size. Why have a spy snitch in camp and pay off sparring partners not to train there.

But the sparring partners for Horn was one 130 pound aussie and two weak Filipino 135 pounders lol

Not one of them fought like Horn, this goes to show you they overlooked Horn, even I said dam this is a big boy, he weighed 170 on fight night and was mauling Manny, those punches Manny landed in round 9 would have taken out any other fighter under 160 pounds, but Horn was so big he ate them chits like nothing.

Roach actually let Koncz pick sparring partners? Confirmed, Roach is a junk trainer.

[juandabomb]

this has to be the lamest thing ive read in a long time. koncz is a weasel leeching low breed..roach is lookin for an excuse.pathetic smh

[elfag]

koncz is a business advisor or whatever the *** he is. he has never fought nor trained a boxerin his life. Why the *** would he pick sparring partners?

explains why pac used a freaking mma fighter for his preparations with floyd.

[mind_blown]

Man, seems like his team is just sabotaging him. Sound like a bunch of guys just concerned about getting paid. They care more about themselves than Manny. The end of Manny's career is a mess!

Freddie needs to retire, this is incompetence, he is no longer doing his job nor looking out for Manny's well being!
