Roach hired Norwood as primary sparring partner for Pac. He's 38, pretty much the same vital stats with Manny (he's not that big imo), and obviously he's way past his prime.
What is he going to contribute with Pacquiao?..

Re: Freddie Norwood
Norwood was a good fighter with a spoiler type style simliar to Diaz. Norwood had a nack of making really good fighters look bad...ala Marquez. He wasn't pretty to watch, could be annoying as hell, but he was still pretty effective.

Re: Freddie Norwood
Well if Roach feels Norwoods the man for the job so be it.
If I was Roach I'd bring in someone like Miguel A. Huerta... A swarmer whos strong and durable much like Diaz.

Re: Freddie Norwood
Norwood and Pac do have something in common. They each hold a bullshitt win over Marquez

Re: Freddie Norwood
JMM-Norwood was controversial (bullshit) cuz the judges awarded Norwood the wide UD victory.Originally Posted by Violent Demise
Pac-JMM was a razor thin close fight, and it could have gone the other way. CLOSE FIGHT, BUT NOT A BULLSHIT WIN FOR PAC.

Re: Freddie Norwood
According to boxrec he is fighting the same guy he just lost to via DQ. Main event also includes another credible lefty from the 90's, as Stevie Johnston fights Edner Cherry.Whoaa!.. He is?

That's a great news bud. I'll be watching it. I just hope it wasn't cancelled or anything like that, cuz boxrec infos are sometimes not well updated.According to boxrec he is fighting the same guy he just lost to via DQ.

Re: Freddie Norwood
Freddie Just got KOd by Edwards, the guy that beat him by DQ in his lat fight. He should have stayed retired with 1 loss on his record.

He's worthless then. Roach should fire his ass immediately.

Re: Freddie Norwood
Yeah i have to agree that they can get better sparring, though he is around the same size as Diaz and hes a southpaw too. Hopefully hes better in the gym.He's worthless then. Roach should fire his ass immediately.
