    Well Freddy is a MORON when it comes to talking up his fighters.

    I always go back to the example where Pac pulls off the huge upset against DLH, a fight that was considered so dangerous for Pac that the president of the Philippines was trying to get it stopped. He beats the shit out of DLH and looks like a million bucks in arguably the greatest moment of his career.

    So what does Freddy say? "Oh, I saw that DLH couldn't pull the trigger anymore, that's why we took the fight." So he totally cut the legs from underneath his star fighter by admitting DLH was a washed up shell of himself, and gave himself the glory for making a great match for his fighter.

    Everyone could see Oscar was dead at the weight which was the main reason he lost.

    In that sense Roach was taking the credit for the victory which was an egotistical thing to say.

    Yes!

    Instead of making it a "look how great my fighter did" thing, he made it a "look how smart I am for making that match".

    Roach stinks on the mic!

    Same with the press conferences "this will be MY greatest test and sorry but WE'RE going to kick Floyds ass" your fighters name is Manny, perhaps it is relevant Freddie.

    I do like Bradley and was going to bat for him before he crashed the gate. But I think the backlash following the Manny "win" really hit him sideways and he has come off with a little man complex ever since. The level of moaning and bitter ranting in pre fight Manny 2 was embarrassing. Little power, little personality and almost sounds desperate playing up the tough guy posing and flexing for every camera he comes across. We get it Tim, you're ripped. Just fight and fight smart! If he goes in with Vargas and thinks he will bully boy him around based on lack of perceived ko power, he might end up looking foolish. He doesn't need to go after a guy in Morales who has zero business in the ring and has been to war and back.
