I think it seems real odd... that in one article Roach is very confident and in another people close to camp say **** is real bad on the same day Roach did reduce the amount of sparring from 160 rounds to 100-110 for this camp so lets see what happens
Roach is just drumming up interest. If he was really worried, he wouldn't be trashing the Prodigal Son of the Wild Card Gym in public.
??? From what I understand of the quote it's someone in Pacs camp saying the mexican sparring partner was almost down? not pac? maybe ive just got it wrong :S
Nah he's talking to those fools. They have to continue to try to spark interest in this 'fight' so 'fans' think Manny has a chance to lose.
That's exactly what it says but people here don't read. He also said Pacman aint at 100% which is probably what everyone is commenting on...
Pac hasn't been working out since his fight against Clottey. He's been busy with politics. To spar against Tapia and almost knock him down is pretty good. Can't wait till Pac is 100% already. It will definitely be war against Margarito.
The only way Nonoy's statement makes sense is if Pacquiao almost went down instead of the Mexican guy, since Roach said Pacquiao'd lose if Pacquiao fought Margarito today. Which is consistent. Shawn Porter roughed him up in the first few weeks of camp as well when Pacquiao was training for Cotto.
Well, the man isn't in tip top shape yet.. and if he did lose something it could be due to age. I mean, Pacquiao is in his 30's now afterall whcih are the ages when a fighter typically tends to slow down.
