    Roach bowed out of Izzy's corner after the 1st fight. He said Izzy was beginning to slur his words and forget things and that he should retire.

    I believe MAB's old trainer took over for the next two fights.

    To be fair I think trainers across the board have gotten worse.

    Yeah, Freddie is like the nerd who was invited to the cool table on the lil teen movies...always wanted to be there and now he's actin out now that he's gotten there. It's about to the part in the movie where he's brought back to Earth and talk a valuable lesson...haha.
    With that said, I think all trainers are overrated...just like in any other sport with coaches. It's all about the performers IMO.

    Between Buddy McGirt and Yoel Judah, Trainers are reverting back to the Stone Age.

    Doesn't matter what any of you say, Freddie is well respected in the boxing circle, there is a reason why some of the top boxers in the game hire him, ask any boxer about Roach, most will have nothing but good to say about him.

    You can be a good person and still be overrated.

    Not talking about Freddie's personality, for all i know he could be a serial ****** who has sexual intercourse's with gorillas, but the man knows his boxing.

    After everyone slagged off Roach and accused him of all sorts for thinking Pac can beat DLH, and to actually have Pac pull it off, he has every right to be cocky. He proved a lot of people wrong.

    I think Freddy is a top 5 trainer in the sport! He's comedy sometimes too...

    People think Manny has improved. Guess what? He has, but not not to the extent some people are saying. His competition has gone down dramatically since the last time he fought Juan Manuel Marquez, in a fight many people felt he lost, including Brian Kenny and myself. Manny has improved since his Featherweight days, but not an inch since his rematch with Marquez.
