Freddie Roach: "I Dont Believe In Sparring"

Roach says another stupid thing, news at eleven.

 

Pacquiao and Floyd have tonnes of expierance

The usefullness of sparring for them both is rather limited

If you asked freddie to explain precisely what he means by "I don't believe in sparring" he'd step back and clarify for you.

 

it doesn't mean he won't be doing any though does it

 

Rocky didn't need to spar for Drago

 

Roach sounds horrible

 

Sparring is for timing and to make you sharp

 

sparring is the single best thing a boxer can do for training. You don't have to go to war in sparring though, there are many forms of it. Nacho Berstein is very known for having his fighters do controlled sparring and drill specific situations over and over

 

He said he starts sparring 6 weeks out, so Manny will start soon

 

I can't watch videos currently (@ work, lots of people) - is the quote taken outta context or is that really along the lines of what he meant to say? :blood

 

It is terribly out of context. He said he starts sparring 6 weeks out, and add to that this video is 2 weeks old. Roach sound terrible and delusional.

 

:-(

 

What he actually said or at least meant is he doesn't believe in sparring that early and you should start 6 weeks out.

 

Completely taken out of context. He says he doesn't believe in sparring this early basically and says somebody told him Mayweather hasn't been looking great in sparring.
