Roach Continues To Bash Oscar Before Pacquiao Boxing Showdown

Two-time BWAA Trainer of the Year, world famous Freddie Roach, made another bold prediction at his Hollywood-based Wild Card Boxing Club, where he is training five-division world champion Manny Pacquiao for his 12-round welterweight super fight against “The Golden Boy” Oscar De La Hoya.

“Oscar stated in his media conference call that training to fight Manny has put the fire back in his belly,” Roach cooly stated. “If he thinks he has a fire in his belly now, wait until Manny starts landing right and left hooks there; Oscar’s belly will be a raging inferno.

“I have never seen Manny look better. He is as close to a complete fighter as he has ever been. His speed, footwork and stamina are supreme. But it’s his power that has surpassed anything I could have hoped for. Manny is ready to fight a full three minutes of every round for as many rounds this fight goes.

“Oscar may look the part of a welterweight fighter by dieting down to a Twggy 145 pounds, but that doesn’t mean he can pull the trigger at his age and act the part of a welterweight fighter. Not against a Manny Pacquiao.”
