Roach: isn't he becoming completely obnoxious

[threethirteen]

Did anyone watch 24/7 overtime?

Generally, i like Roach. i think he's honest and unafraid to say unpopular things, but the disrespect he's shown to Cotto and his team is frankly pathetic.

I think the emotions are starting to get to him, and Cotto and camp's response has not been what he expected.

I'm disappointed in him - thought he was better than that.

Any chance of a link mate? I remember the overtime with Roach and Mayweather Sr before the Pac-Hatton fight was absolute gold. :lol:

just click the wee link under the video player on the main screen and it opens up a media player window.

Landsman, the conditioning coach, just sounds so smart and respectable, and Freddy just sounds like a dick.

Of course, Freddy was a good guy compared to Floyd Sr - no-one is a bigger cock that Floyd Sr.

Should be on hbo.com/boxing :good

I thought his disrespect, in particular, towards Santiago was pretty harsh. I have never know Roach to get this wound up and personal before. Gotta say it is hampering my like for him!

i think hes a master in boxing but all the shit he talks puts me off him abit but i think alot of it is to stick up for his fighter and Roach si popular now so he just gets carried away and keeps slagging.

I don't think he's THAT much of a master of boxing. he's the right guy for Manny, but who else does he train that's anything that special?

He understands his own guy, but he had no gameplan for Marquez - he had no practical advice, all that got Manny through there was his speed and power.

[GPater11093]

im not sure hoe good of a trainer he is but as a tactician he is top class.

Marquez is a very difficult and clever fighter to fight (i thought JMM won both fights). But for Hatton, Diaz and ODLH he got it spot on. Furthermore Khan vs Kotelnick

Did you see at the weigh in where Santiago seemed to say something along the lines of "Have that, you cunt!' when Cotto comfortably made 145? :lol:

Freddie gave his honest opinion, as always.

If he doesnt think Cotto will be a challenge then fair enough thats his view.

I dont see him being disrespectful at all. He is clearly confident but certainly not obnoxious in my opinion.

That's pretty much my opinion on the video as well. However I don't think he is as confident as he was for Pacquiao's last 3 fights, hence the constant changing of his predictions. Also towards the end I think he basically confirmed that the 'drama' in the Pacquiao camp was exaggerated for the cameras. :yep

think roach is the business hes doin the aul alex ferguson mind games ....nothin wrong with that

And that's fine if it works, but he's been made to look like an immature jack-ass.

[warrior85]

he has been since pac-dlh

[toffeejack]

Just watched it I didn't see a problem personally. He's confident in his fighter but I don't think he's coming across as arrogant or obnoxious there.

Freddie loves playing mindgames at the moment, let's see if his predictions are right tonight.

[Top Dog]

Naw I like Roach, he's not like Mayeather senior who thinks the sun rises and sets in his ass

FLOYD WILL BE AROUND SOON TO SHOW THEM ALL :hi::hi::hi:THE GUYS AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS:happy:happy:happy

Oh fuck off, noob. :lol:

[dan-b]

I think people spend too much time analysing what he says.

[zfc]

I think Freddie Roach is a great trainer and is great for boxing.I dont think he was disrespectful about Cottos coach he just pointed out that the Cotto corner was a little bit green.

Santiago was the one acting like a pr*ck on the stage at Fridays weigh in when getting in Freddies face.

After watching the final episode of the superb 24/7 Freddies emotions were open to all when talking about his brother who died in the summer.

Freddie has taken a decent fighter and turned him into an ATG,the Pacquiao defence is unrecognizable to the defence of 8 years ago.I think some on here are p*ssed that it took Freddie about 10 minutes to work out the limitations of Ricky Hatton.
