Roach wants some more

[stebs]

What is it with Freddie Roach, I am just starting not to like this guy for all his demands, now he wants harsher penalties if a low blow occurs, he wants every advantage he can get for his fighter which I understand, but just fight the fight you signed for for.

Roach wants tougher low blow rule for Pacquiao-Cotto | Boxing | STV Sport

[jon09]

Lol! Whats next: Cotto can't hit Manny the first minute of each round or get fined and disqualified ? This is getting ridicules with these demands I would think if Manny gets by Cotto it would be somewhat of a tainted win because it doesn't seem like a fair fight between 2 professionals. So what happens if Manny hits Cotto low? I can't wait to see if Manny does get by Cotto and fights PBF what demands are going to be in place then?

ridiculous if this happens i hpe Cotto puts a auto disqualification if Pac headbutss him cuz thats how Pacs cuts his opponents...

I hate to agree with Roach but I think I do on this one. If you watch the Judah fight Cotto did hit him low at LEAST 5 times. Granted this is a fight and thing's get a little heated in the moment. I don't think an automatic disqualification is right but you can be sure people are now listening and watching Roach's little rant and on the fight night the ref will be looking a little more for the low blows then usual. I think a smart move by Roach but a bit embarrassing if he actually meant an immediate disqualification.

What a load of crap, he has no right to try and meddle with the rules and the ref has the job of deciding what punishment to dish out, not him.

Getting on my nerves...

[Diane]

Freddie can fuk off!!

I know the man is a good trainer, but he's let that go to his head too much. Does he now think that he's Keith Kizer, the Nevada State Athlectic Director, and that he can call all the shots, and make the all the rules? Please.

Like I said, fuk off Freddie.

I actually thought Judah was winning until he started all that and ever since Zab has been crap.

I don't think Roach really believes he can influence this though, I just think he's trying to get inside Cotto's head, it won't work!!

the same way your idol did to win the first fight of the trilogy.

It waz Pac's headbutt that got him cut.
Pac cuts his opponents when he lunges in...he cut Marquez both of the fights. And Pac has cut many more people.

I don't remember Pac damaging JMM with the headbutt in their first fight. But no doubt there was a headclash in the rematch. Pac cut JMM twice that night, one from a punch, and another one from accidental headbutt. southpaw vs conventional stance man. Sometimes it's hard to avoid.

And oh..

Pac got cut in Pac-EM 1. Pac basically fought Morales with one eye most of the rounds.

[Cortez The Killer]

Yup, well.

He is worried about Cotto's response if he gets stunned early by a Pacman flurry. I havent read the other responses, but i'm sure someone already dropped the Zab fight.

Cotto's not going to do it to Pacquiao anyways, I'm pretty sure of that. If Cotto wins his stock quadruples, and if he loses it was against the real p4p #1 spot holder his stock still skyrockets anyways.

Win or lose it's a win/win for Miguel.

But even if Cotto wins he will bleed. I don't think he'll pull low blows, the event is too big. Miguel will use his latino machismo and win with pride or lose with pride. He makes more money and exposure afterward either way.

he just wanted to be sure pac is protected. remember folks, cotto is the bigger guy here. pac fights clean, he never headbutts or lowblows anybody. give pac some equal chance, especially if he's up against a legit ww.

He has made Cotto drop 2lbs to make 145 and has somehow got the world title on the line.What more does he want,next it will be Cotto is only alowed to throw 10 punches around?

Pac is still a natural 135 lber imo. Cotto agreed to put his belt on the line for his biggest pay day. C'mon now, everybody knows that.

Btw folks. Great move by Roach. Another psychological terror from him . 'Worked on DLH with the hand wrap, and Hatton with the ref (constant clinching).
