CC my brotha.. i cannot believe how many think that roach is irritating. i salute you for being a few who understand why he is trying to steal the limelight from his fighter. he, as what u said, is just trying to divert unwanted and extra pressure on manny. imagine if manny hired a coach and trainer who doesnt say anything? does he have to face the media by himself all the time. freddy roach is just trying to boost his fighters confidence.
CC Right back, all good managers/trainers do it, Jose Mourinho for Chelsea was the archetype, it's all about taking the focus and placing on the training camp, if Manny ain't the headlines that's one thing less on an already full plate.
But surely not saying anything will keep him out of the headlines more
