    Then i guess Roach should be suspended since he's the one put an illegal handwrap to Oscar prior to the Mayweather fight lol. Hell Roach should be suspended for knewing Toney did steriods prior to the Ruiz fight. That comment is not looking good for Roach.

    yeah, everyone knows you are trying to rationalize (I know it's a big word, but you can look it up) Camp Margo making of Roach's illness. Move along, now

    Point is roach also cheated ! who cares about Margarito camp making fun of anyone.
    I bought a video years back where roach is teaching points on the speed bag. He teaches to follow through on the left hook and your elbow " SHOULD " hit your opponent.

    freddie acting like a holy angel and talking all that stuff about margo's handwraps and all the mockery they did in the first episode of how margo didn't know plus now you know this. so i think you should be pretty mad at roach as you're mad at margo.

    In the video it said that the commission cleared the wraps for use (the only thing they didn't allow was Hoya's thumb protector) and Roach said to Merchant's face, live on TV, that he was considering using the same wraps for Pacman. It looks like the officials don't deem those wraps as illegal? Someone clarify this stuff.

    Almost every trainer I've ever had has said a similar thing, but on the heavybag. Turn your hooks over, and don't be afraid to follow with your elbow. It's called being crafty.

    That's just boxing.

    And Roach said he could be like Margarito former trainer and put an illegal handwrap to Pacquiao without Pacquiao knowing. <<<Hmm.

    So hold on one second.

    Roach appealed against the type of tape Oscar used, but had his appeal turned down by the commission (or whoever), as they deemed Oscar&#8217;s wrapping legal. The most they could do, however, was reduce the ridge over the knuckled to half an inch. And then in return, Roach contemplated using the exact same wrapping on Manny&#8217;s hand, to make things even for the fight?

    Is this correct?

    Freddy, are you really that stupid?

    You've just agreed with me that Oscar's wraps were legal. Roach then thought about having the same wraps for his fighter. If the wraps are legal, how can this be cheating?

    Or am I missing something here?
