Thread: Roach has invite for Barrera!

By Dennis Principe


Hall-Of-Fame trainer Freddie Roach is so confident of a Manny Pacquiao win this October that he is actually willing to welcome Marco Antonio Barrera to watch their training anytime the Mexican wishes to do so.

Well while Roach and Manny are busy giving statements and doing interviews, Marco has his head down training hard.

Marco is too busy being professional to f*ck around acting the celebrity

Why would Marco need to watch manny fight, he fought the Pac man at his best, pac was a challenger up against a known legend.

If you have seen one round of manny you know what hes gonna do

Marco is a little more adaptable

I think Manny has hit his peak and may now be regressing

Marco has it all to do but he has the tools

Barrera should accept that invitation and learn Pac's new arsenal,... the "MARCO BOLO".

The "MANILA ICE" worked pretty well against Erik. Maybe Pac will mix it up this time.

Pac and Roach are not acting like celebrities. Blame the press and paparazzi on that one.

Marco should watch Pac's sparring sessions coz Manny is stronger, faster, and smarter than 2003 Pacman. Marco meanwhile got a little slower and been brawling more. That would mean his azz is now more vuneralbe to get hit by Pac.

Regressing Pac?... I don't think so. He's only 28 homie. He'll keep dominating his division for 2 more years.

Marco may have all the tools, but I don't think his body has the stamina or strong enough to use 'em.

When I first heard about this fight I though Pacman would blow out MAB, but the closer it gets the more I'm thinking that MAB has a good chance of winning this one. He seems hungry and motivated and the people around Pacman who are talking shit is going to do nothing but motivate him further. An aging HoF fighter with a chance for revenge is a dangerous thing, even for Pacman.

Hehe!

Motivation ey? More like anger. And ofcourse, it's always harder to concentrate on your A game while you're angry.

Barrera and his team know exectly what to expect and are preparing for it.They know the first fight was not a fluke and they lost because of the lack of preparation. He trained for thh wrong fight. This time hes going to train for the right fight and come with a different gameplan. It may not work but Pac better not epect the Barrera he fought the first time to show up.

i could not say anyhing but............ LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!!! Am so excited already.

I'm not a huge fan of either fighter, although I certainly respect their skills and accomplishments, but the arrogance of most of the Pac fans on here has really got me wanting to see MAB knock him the fuck out.

Roach has become Pac's public relations officer and official propagandist.

Pac's camp has been somewhat short at just over 4 weeks.

That was an abrupt posting on my part. A 4 week camp and then another week in the states it just seems somewhat minimal.

We all know that Barrera has been hard at work for a long time now.

Preparation may very well play a role in this bout.

5 weeks? Thats all? Can't see that being a good thing.

Or pehaps thats more propaganda? Maybe he's been trainin for a couplemonths on the sly?

I think there is far far too much talking going on here from the writers and Roach(if what he has been recorded as saying is true). I wish these 2 would just get it on already!

Well as you said urself in the Taylor thread yesterday, theres far too much "talking" in boxing, put up or shut up should be a rule enforced universally by all sanctioning bodies.
