Video of Roach doing mitts with Cotto, Roach health not looking so great
Man, bless Roach for still trying to do what he loves and not letting his illness hold him back, but the sad reality is he is hold his fighters back. I noticed this before when he was doing mitts with Ruslan and when he was doing mitts with Pacquiao, his timing was off and no longer fluid, they had to keep pausing and adjusting so they didn't hit Roach, Pac hit Roach several times on accident in the face.
Now with Cotto you can see it, Roach can barely lift his arms up and his head is sideways even worse than before. And in the video when Cotto hits roach in the chest Roach looks like he is about to fall over, its sad to see its like he is getting hurt with every shot on the chest protector.
Roach needs to do the right thing and let another trainer take over for his fighters, he has enough money, he has millions of dollars and a successful brand going, his gym is basically a landmark in Hollywood, but right now he is no longer efficient on the mitts.
Floyd had to let his uncle roger go as head trainer, because his healthy was deteriorating, even when you see Floyd do mitts with Roger now its not the same, they don't go as fluid as before, but Floyd still lets Roger hold the mitts for him once and while in camp so Roger doesnt feel left out and pays him as a kind gesture.
I wonder if Roach would allow his fighters to be trained by someone else or is Roach ego and pride too much? Roach does have a history of getting jealous, he did it with Alex Ariza and Michael Moorer who Pacuqiao was getting close with.
