Is Freddie Roach going to be in Hopkins corner for the Pavlik fight?

I'm not sure but don't think it will be Roach as he was against Hopkins fighting Pavlik he said he started to notice real signs of age in his last fight went to the wrong corner a few times

 

No for Freddie dont know about Mackie.

 

from what i've read, there's no roach and no shilstone.

 

His 'co trainers' are listed in a front page article.

 

Freddie Roach said he will not be in B-Hop's corner because he does not think Bernard can win this fight and that he is worried for Hopkins in this fight. That is fact, Roach did say this, I read the interview.

 

Thats pretty interesting that Roach is not giving him a chance in this fight, I favor Pavlik as well but not by much. Roach is a smart man though and for him to want no part of this makes me concerned for Hopkins in this fight. Maybe he doesn't have as good a chance as i think.:huh

 

Roach was the one who said he won't train Hopkins for this fight cause Bernard was going to the wrong corner a few times during the Calzaghe fight.
Haven't heard anything about Shilstone but I don't think Shilstone can really help Bernard much for this fight anyways....Bernard's not bulking up for this fight like he did for Tarver. He's slimming down to 170 and Hopkins knows how to diet and get in shape. Why pay Shilstone all that money for **** he already knows how to do?

 

No, Roach is out, but he did say some complimentary things about Hopkins and indicated pretty clearly that he believes that Bernard can win this fight depending on a few factors.

 

Can you find the article? That's not how Roach sounds in The Ring this month.

 

does it really matters whos on Hopkins corner at this stage of his career.

 

Very true, what could you possibly teach this guy who has seen it all. If Hopkins can't hurt Pavlik, then he is in trouble. Pavlik will be too busy for Hopkins to fight in small bursts. It is all about he money anyways. GBP is all about the money. Oscar vs Pac.....Oscar vs Hatton.

 

So Roach is worried for Hopkins, but is more than okay with risking Mannys health for some bling.

HHmmmmm:huh

 

It was front page on ESB.

 

I read the same article - it was from several months back. Roach said he was afraid for Hopkins' health.
