He hates Nacho because he once wrapped his arm around him to take a picture and said something in spanish..... Roach did'nt know what the heck Nacho said, but asked someone to translate it to him......the translation came back, "Does this guys want to blow me?" Wow, Freddie Roach is turning into a real ***** to say something like that about a person, when he does'nt know for sure what Nacho really said.......the translator could have been pulling his leg to get a reaction from Roach....... I guess poor Roach needs that edge and needs to hate on people to keep himself motivated.......he was'nt always like that. Fame many times plays with a persons head, and he becomes and comports himself different......I think that has happened to Freddie Roach.
He never said anything bad there, was just his honest opinion. Pretty good interview with some very good points, Roach still showing a lot of confidence that Manny can win it and I hope he does. About the insult to Nacho, he got what he deserves. Nacho was disrespectful towards him so he's just doing the same.
I really doubt the translator will fake it to get insults out of Roach, they're not children and I'm sure the translator did his job and told him what Nacho meant.
Everybody has completely missed the fact Freddie Roach just said, "Amir Khan has a better jab than Oscar De La Hoya". Freddie is going to look like a complete idiot. He thinks Manny is going to knock Oscar out - he couldn't even knockout a super featherweight. I will love every minute of Pacquiao getting blown away, and seeing Roach after the fight. Nacho did not say, "you wanna blow me?', and Pacquiao is biting off more than he can chew with this one.
well, i think he is really confident with PAC winning. He even said before that he's so confident PAC can win that he wont let PAC pay him if they lose. Now thats confidence.
He was probably exaggerating, but he probably meant was Oscar just doesnt use his jab as effectively as before, when he was younger. Roach was probably basing it on Oscar's last couple of fights. Maybe the consistency, the snap and the activity of DLH's jab has dropped off significantly, and Khan was being more active with his jab in the couple of rounds he sparred with Manny. I mean, Oscar would have made it much easier for himself if he had just jabbed the **** outta Forbes all night, his last fight. He wouldnt have gotten his face dinged up a bit.
I didn't even know about that...if Nacho really said that or not. But to be honest these two had bad blood since the very 1st JMM vs PAC fight. Nacho has said some really nasty things towards both PAC and Roach and I think Roach is just sticking up for PAC since PAC rarely ever slings nasty comments towards his opponents......I think the worse thing PAC said to one of his oppoennts is "Stop Crying".
roach is beginning to **** me off, he thinks he is the best trainer of all time, i rate nacho above him. roach is going to sound stuped when pacquiao returns to 135 and exposed by the likes of guzman and marquez again.
Damn....Roach is getting hardcore on the mexicans's asses....Nacho shouild be careful on december 6th.Everybody saw how Roach works that Parkinsons machine on 24/7
he probably meant that at the present time with oscar being very inconsistent with this jab now as seen in the mayweather fight. khan probably throws a faster and more consistent jab compared to the oscar of today.
