Comments Thread For: Photos: Pacquiao Gets Fierce On The Mitts With Freddie Roach

Fernandez, sensing that jetlag was finally settling in, gave Manny the afternoon off to rest.

Im sure this was the right move, but it should be Freddie’s decision. Noticed that Freddie isn’t the only person who speaks in the corner either. Must be very frustrating.

why would it be freddie's decision? roach is not the head trainer here.

Packy has finally found someone older than himself to play boxing with. Yay.

I’d say Freddie should be the head trainer, and if he isn’t that it speaks to the general *********** of Pacquiao’s camp. I can’t imagine that anyone knows boxing better than Roach in that camp.

Like it not, Pacquiao got his first knockout in almost a decade WITHOUT Roach. Which may be the reason he chose Buboy over Roach as the head trainer.

Facts are facts.

roach does have more boxing knowledge than anyone else in that camp, but does roach use that to his advantage? nope! not anymore! freddie turned hollywood years ago. he's there now just to collect a check. the mofo brought in a mma fighter as pac's sparring partner for the floyd fight for crying out loud lol!

It has been like that ever since the beginning. Buboy translated what Roach said to Pacman, when Pacman did not know English much. I'm sure Buboy sneaked in his own advice, and that went on through the years. Pacman just took both advices and filtered it out himself, he is used to it. Where others will be frustrated and confused, Pacman thrives in confusion.

Roach may know boxing more, but Buboy knows Pacman more, as he is always with the Pacman.

Broner's toast.

Yeah, I think so too. Floyd will probably be in 2020.

They've been together since day one. Buboy knows him in a deeper level than Roach would wish he could. Pac's trust in Buboy is likened to a brother. Buboy has been in boxing since Pac has been in boxing. They compliment each other. He is an unsung hero in my book.

And Buboy also looks fierce sitting around the corner while voraciously eating his meals
