Logic and common sense have no place here so run along;D

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.
