Has Freddie Roach had a stroke?

Serious question.

He's got Parkinson’s.

He's got Parkinson’s.

Is that for real? I wasn't being in bad taste or anything, I just noticed the slurring of words recently.

Parkinson's. What's amazing is that he hasn't slowed and can produce world champs with the disease.

yeah that's amazing. although his speech has deteriorated from the 2nd em fight since. i could still understand him clearly last january at PAC's corner in that fight than his interview at the presscon for the 3rd fight.

I feel really sorry for him. I dont know anything about his personality, but I always had a feeling he is good people.

He should get that chip inmplanted in his head or whatever the heck it was I saw on tv. They had this thing for people who would stutter too but you had to put something in your ear like an earphone thingy... Sorry my description sounds vague. They also had the chip thing, some guy had Parkinson's disease and they performed surgery on him, implanted the chip (Or I think they did, I can't remember) somewhere in his brain and had a remote to control it. They had him holding up a cup of water and his hand was shaking a lot, but when they switched the on button for the remote he stopped shaking. I'm sure Freddy could afford it... I don't know how much he gets paid though.

Freddie Roach is the man...

I like Roach. His love for the sport is obvious, but in all actuality he probably won't be training fighters 15 years from now. Parkinsons is a disease that worsens with time.
