Freddie Roach: record, next fight and profile →
It's a pivotal fight for welterweight Frankie Gomez, who faces the respected Mauricio Herrera this Saturday night from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on the Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez-Amir Khan HBO pay-per-view undercard.

After his rousing victory over Chris Algieri this past weekend at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, New York, young welterweight contender Errol Spence Jr. (20-0, 17KOs) made some rather derogatory remarks regarding Manny Pacquiao as a fighter.

Trainer Freddie Roach has made it clear that he doesn't believe Manny Pacquiao will retire and he's stated that he'd love to see his best known client face Terence Crawford next. But one of his other fighters could throw a monkey wrench into those plans - Viktor Postol, who currently holds the WBC 140-pound title.
As of this past Saturday night, eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao (58-6-2, 38KOs) is a retired fighter. In their third and likely final meeting, Pacquiao won a twelve round unanimous decision over Timothy Bradley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
