    Imagine the ring announcer trying to introduce "The Thai". He'll need plenty of practice at that monster of a second name.

    Freddie Roach & Brian Minto Team up for fight this Friday on NESportsTV.com

    Butler, PA – When heavyweight Brian Minto
    This content is protected
    (33-2, 21 KO’s) steps into the ring on August 14th (NESportsTV.com PPV, $10 USD, conversion rates apply outside US) against Ivanhoe, North Carolina’s Donnell Holmes (31-0-2, 27 KO’s), he’ll have a new trainer in his corner: 2008 Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach. “I just took a shot and called him and said ‘hey” and told him my deal and my record and asked if you mind if I come out and train? He said I’d love to have ya”, said Minto recently, adding “We hit it off with a good relationship. Freddie is a great trainer but other than that he’s a good person..”

    Roach currently trains pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and junior welterweight titleholder Amir Khan

    .

    Roach said about training Minto, “We’re trying to work on his angles a little bit more instead of standing in front of people and trading with them and just improving his all around game.”

    Roach has previously worked with noteworthy heavyweights including current heavyweight champ Wladimir Klitschko, former champ Mike Tyson, and former heavyweight title challenger James Toney. He’s also worked with world champions in lower weight classes such as Oscar De La Hoya

    and Bernard Hopkins.

    While working with Roach, Minto has regularly been sparring with top cruiserweight Ola Afolobi. Top notch sparring he hopes will pay off August 14th.

    “He’s like James Toney

    times ten he’s so slick”, said Minto of Afolobi, “I know Donnell doesn’t have that slickness at all. He’s a pretty basic guy.”

    However, Holmes doesn’t seem too concerned with Minto’s new trainer.

    “That doesn’t really mean anything to me”, said Holmes, “I don’t worry about who’s outside the ring, just who’s in the ring.”

    If it's Mike Goodhall he'll probably get Kratingdaenggym (slightly) wrong, even though it's not that hard to say.

    The real problem will come for Jimmy Magee and Dave Boy McAuley, who are going to struggle with the word Poonsawat all night :lol:

    I wonder if RTE have money to show this Dunne fight. With all the cut backs could Dunnes first defence not be shown live on RTE? I think this may add to the delay in the fight not being sorted out yet as in date. Could Peters be in talks with Sky or other companies about the rights to show the fight?
    Last fight I liked the bill and I hope Peters does the same again in a pro-am event. As all of amaturs got a great support from the crowd. Didn't like the Talyor fight with the ring men it was wrong and the noise from the women in the crowd it was like being at a Westlife concert.

    You seem to know something we don't about RTE's budget!
