It's something like that, if he doesn't have enough money to pay for it, the fighters he trained should at least donate some money to him.

Thanks for the info Left Hook King. It looks like the technology is still in the trial/development stage. Hopefully that'll be able to help people down the road.

I always compare Freddy with the actor Michael J. Fox who also has parkisons. I don't know why. Michael J is cool and all though here are 2 different people. Freddy who isn't loaded in money as Michael is, and rather than say this and that about finding ways to treat it and whatnot as Michael is, Freddy just shuts up and lives his life with it. And in a more hectic way. Training boxers, doing mit work, and having to go to wild press cons and whatnot. Freddy just seems happy with the way he's living and doesn't care if it can be cured more so or not, as he has dealt to live with it. I guess Michael J is doing the right thing trying to help with treatments and whatnot, though maybe he's the one that isn't as happy with it because he talks so much about it. Freddy is the man!

yeah his condition seems to be getting worse from what i saw last night. it's sad because he seems like a cool guy, and all those hellish fights he was been that should have been stopped.

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.

the speed of parkinsons progression is different in everybody, look at ali... parkinsons kicked in quickly but its not progressing too quickly at all (at the moment)

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

He is the nicest most straight forward guy you could ever meet.

AND he gets some niceeeee women.

he's had it for a while man, he used to shake really bad. remember when he held the torch to light the thing for the olympics? everyone was afraid he was gonna drop it. the last time i saw him though he wasn't shaking at all, which indicates his medication is working well to control his shaking.

Freddie makes alot more money than youd think, just that his love for boxing is too pure and you can never tell.

I HAVE NEVER MET A MAN MORE DEVOTED TO BOXING.

Everything he makes he puts back into boxing in one way or another. He just extended the size of his gym and it looks great.

I am also working on his official website for WildCard Boxing Club and it will be up soon.

Really though, Freddie is a very genuine person and is loved by everyone around him.

Freddie is a great person and a great trainer. Although it maybe hard to understand him at times, he understands everything and what's going on.

And honestly, being around Freddy fequently....you understand him. His fighters and the people close to him understand every word. I guess it's hard for people to understand him, when they first meet him. But the people who are around him, understand him fine.
