His doorman/assistant, Mac, plays one hell of a game of boxing trivia and his brother Pepper punched me in the arm so hard I still feel it.
I hear he's good at keeping his fighters on point, some of the guys need a babysitter/trainer. Dont know how he compares as far as technique, when I watched the De La Hoya-Mayweather fight I was wondering why he wasnt livid about Oscar abandoning his jab,if I was Roach I would have tried to reverse Floyds usual role on him and make him come to Oscar, sometimes I question him....but nobodys right all the time...Like the Lazcano-Harris fight, didnt think giving away those first rounds by trying to execute his counterpunch stradegy helped.I give him alot of credit tho, he is the posterboy for people who have Parkinsons.
