Man, thats kind of hard to watch. So many things wrong there. Roach shouldn't have come at Garcia like that and definitely not have gotten racial. But Ariza trying to act tough is funny but kicking Roach and making fun of his condition is out of bounds. I think Garcia did well and Rios is as cool a professional as it gets. I forgot he was even in the scene until the end when they showed him not missing a step on the elliptical. But now I want to see Roach kick Ariza's butt on the undercard.
Fuck ariza's punkass and that short chubby mexican hanger on. Getting crazy on somebody with parkinsons disease and shit smh, thats what pussies do. Those two punks should be beaten with baseball bats. Fuck rios too. He mocked roach too long time ago and tried to play it off. This motherfucker talks like he's in middle school sounding dumb as fuck. Without boxing, this dumbass would be selling tacos out of cater trucks.
War Pacman!!!
nobody should make fun of a disability but i cant defend roach because i cant stand the guy and he is a guy that likes to pick fights.
Roach is a racist asshole. Parkinson's or not he deserves to get his ass kicked. Frankly the whole line that nobody with Parkinsons.......that's all empty. How about treating people equally? If you deserve a beating you deserve a beating. Roach is a racist arrogant antagonist that thinks he can get away with anything because people treat him like a victim, I say he's a man treat him like one.
This scene is typical of Roach. He is 100% at fault and plays the victim at the same time.
May have been years ago but that doesn't change the fact that it was one of the lowest thing a person can do. That was some bush league shit straight up.
I dont think Roach would have made a racist remark for no reason. Something had to trigger him.. It was random because he just walked up outa nowhere and called Garcia a piece of shit. Im convinced that something else happened before the camera started rolling or some other shit leading up to that day..
Ariza though man. Can you believe this fuckin guy. He's like a pussy ass weasel..
No doubt Freddy is an old school asshole who don't mind a good fight. You can't change some people like that. This is all his fault thats a given but...
First off I think Garcia is a great dude and he was the better man. My problem or what I would like to point out about Garcia is....For a Head Coach he kinds of tolerate too much around his camp. Maybe thats just him but he laughs a lot of things off like he really is enjoying the jokes. I still remember seeing Brandon making fun of roach and there is Head Coach Garcia tolerating childs play and actually laughing as well. Here again you see someone from his camp (Ariza) making fun of roach and there is Head Coach Garcia laughing smiling about it. Garcia IMHO is a good dude but weak in a way he tolerate something negative or plain wrong and smiles aabout it. As for Roach, you know a guy like that isn't gonna forget that video you yes you Garcia, Rios, Margarito and that hang on Jew Kid with the camera all made, having a laugh about his Parkinson.
The star here is Rios, he didn't get involved at all. Props to him for that. That hanger on Elli or whatever his name is, dude who always rides Rios dik or any athlete who would pay him attention, that boy is gonna fight himself very alone some day.
I want to see Roach go Rocky V, on their ass's.
I know I am old fashioned but if I was Mexican and somebody called me a Mexican motherfucker . The motherfucker part would piss me off but the Mexican bit wouldn't bother me at all. People need to be adults not children in a playground trying to be politically correct
That was interesting. Roach had the gym booked for 11, which they knew, but were refusing to leave. So he goes over to tell 'em they're taking the piss cause they should be gone already.
Ariza starts mocking his Parkinsons then boots him in the chest. Then the fat Mexican guy gets all aggressive and threatens to chuck Roach out and duff him up.
Then Roach calls him a "Mexican mother fucker" and everyone goes "ooohhh racist." Then Roach tells the security to throw out that "Jew fucker" and everyone goes "ooohhh racist," all the while Roach is still having his Parkinsons mocked and is being called a faggot and threatened and nobody bats an eyelid.
Yet some people think Roach looked the biggest cunt in this? Weird.
* I know folks that know him and ive heard he can be a dick... and funny as it may sound, I know a guy who hit it off with Garcia when Garcia was here in San Antonio...and Garcia calls him up all the time... no shit...(im getting off on another tangent)Garcia even had my friend in the corner once helping out... my buddy was even in the dressing room with Pavlik.. and Pav gave him his robe...is that fken crazy or what? he claims Garcia is strght up kool...he said that Garcia group r tight.
Please, Roach may have started it verbally but Garcia started it by still being there. You don't fuck with peoples gym time for a fight like this and use some bogus interview to justify it while your anorexic looking fighter jogs along yapping away like he's got scurvy. And Ariza is self explanatory with the girly kicks surrounded by thugs that went in for him. Punks like Ariza are the ones who wait until someone is pissed to the gills before picking a fight.
Ps- Brilliant move by Roach if Manny was a little lean on motivation.
Imagine if you saw that fat Mexican fella and Ariza mocking, threatening and assaulting a guy that is trembling and struggling with his speech in public? Even if you didn't know he had a serious illness it would look disgusting. They know he is ill.
Those two cunts deserve a hiding.
Garcia did nothing wrong with Roach and should not have been sworn at by him. Garcia should have shut his team up as they ended up looking bad when really Roach was at fault.
Racism, mocking of a neurological disease, thuggery... wow, and we wonder why boxing has such a bad rep?
Roach had the half ass rude approach but once you go pushing dude across the floor and puffing out your chest fuck that non factor rowdy boy and his sensitivity frankly. That wasn't racist, that was dumb but racial would have been calling him a beaner or some shit. This was all deep baggage between Roach and Ariza obviously, who was the asshole for keeping it going across the room with the mocking. He acted like a 3rd grader. If I'm Rios I'm telling my entire camp to stfu because they ain't fighting but they're making the headlines.
Rios did well just to stay out of it. Where was Manny? Why was Roach acting like an idiot?
Does anybody know how the pay-per-view sales are going? I'd bet on that being staged. In the old days they'd have the fighter save a drowning girl while doing his roadwork, or something like that. A lot more creative than name calling and chest thumping.
Yeah I love the way he played the innocent card there. Like the typical head of a mob. He knew he would piss Roach off by being there when they had booked the time. He then claims Roach disrespected him and that he has always looked up to him. Was that before he took over his gym time ergo disrespecting him or after Roach called him on that disrespect?
When is see this stuff I always wonder how much of it is set up for attention. It always gets people talking, it's like free advertisement.
This was a classic hype play between two camps that escalated out of control. Roach shouldn't have said that racist crap and Ariza shouldn't have made fun of his Parkinson's. In my opinion, I'd be a lot more sympathetic to Roach if he hadn't played the race card. Ariza and Roach seem like real pieces of work.
I'm missing the Race Card... They are Mexican, and Elli is a Jew... Rios camp knows poking at the Parkinsons is the best attack, so cussing and calling names was a normal response.
Big deal...
The kick to the chest is what ended it for me. Ariza you lose!
When I heard about it I thought it was staged but if they'd staged it they would have left the racist stuff out of it. That actually happened. Arum and Top Rank have downplayed it as much as they could, they're not looking to make publicity out of it. Roach will get his own back anyway, Rios is going to take all the beating he can handle.
Roach might not have been a great pro fighter but he knows the game inside and out. He may have parkinsons but part of him wanted to throw it down with ariza and they should have let him.
This whole incident has made me want to see this fight even more and im sure alot more people would like to see this.
Rios did the right thing by staying out of this but he had no option as he couldnt screw up the biggest payday of his life plus he was critical of roach illness in the past with his pathetic mocking.
I had roach back all the way until he had to mention "mexican". Why does someone do that? In the heat of rage do your true feelings come out?!
Then again, alex ariza with all his stuttering and dissing is just something you dont do and he is a disgrace.
Another thing, everyone is quick to mention assault in america for anything! Does everyone sue for anything over there?!
There is no way that pacman can loose this fight!..
I know it's not cool to make fun of someone's condition like that...but Roach cannot always get pass for being an asshole because of Parkinson's. Pretty pathetic behavior from both camps.
I don't know if this was staged but I can see Arum setting up a rife and getting more than he bargained for. Garcia said Arum told them that they have to do interviews for 15 to 20 minutes so their gym time would run over. Garcia's camp only gets the gym from 9 to 11. Roach's camp gets it from 11 to 4 so that is unfair to start. After the scuff the clock showed 11:10. I guess Roach didn't know about the interviews and running over time and Pac wasn't even there so Roach's approach was quite harsh. He went over to Garcia in the middle of that interview and said to Garcia "Your time is up" and "Get the f&#k out of here you piece of sh#t." By time Pac gets there and he wraps his hands the Garcia camp is out of there. Ariza is the worst to me because this is really between the trainers but Roach is far from innocent and I think people are giving him a pass because of his condition. Some people have their bias and will root for and against their predetermined guy(s) so they will spin it and see it how they want it to be. Anybody neutral or willing to set their bias aside will see this incident for what its worth and not all of a sudden cling to other stuff. Controversy sells and Arum gave us a good scoop of it right here. This will in fact bolster the PPV...which as a boxing fan I can appreciate but the road is low class.
The one that would have me thinking it was staged is no one in there right mind would have the camps exiting and entering at the exact same time. That and the biggest point being made about 'racial'. I've never once in my life heard someone ...in the heat of anger and moment mind you...drop someone's Nationality as a "racial slur". I mean if someone looks at me and calls me a 'damn American' I don't find it racial or with hatred...save for Miles??? In which case it would follow "you fat fascist American" I suppose?! I dunno, in hindsight the thing did have a bit of a backstage WWE promo to it. Hey it beats Adrien Broner filming himself taking a shit in a Popeyes chicken bathroom in order to get publicity.
Thats a good point. Its a guarantee they will cross paths. I personally can get on board if it was staged but keep the racial and disability content out of it. Maybe Arum arranges this time slot in hopes of controversy and Roach's camp and Garcia's camp were unwitting pawns.
Do not blame Arum for everything, next they will say he shot John F Kennedy. :)
Maybe I am being too harsh on Arum. He is such an easy target, my bad. I'm actually giving him credit because it is brilliant. He wouldn't know that racial and disability mocking would come of this. But I'm just trying to make sense of why did he not tell Roach that Garcia's time will run over.
