Robert Garcia was bullshitting about 'I've never disrespected Freddie Roach'. Anybody remember the Margarito fight where Rios did the Freddie Roach with Parkinson's impression: 'That's Freddie Roach right there!' - Robert Garcia
Trash talking high-school girl style drama which escalates to a young man kicked an old disabled man. Classic America. This is how **** is resolved in Europe: [yt]MWQs8nMsZNg[/yt]
Ariza with the Sparta Kick!!! Not sure if these means anything, probably just the first confrontation and im sure Freddy and Manny and Ariza were just begging to start something after the way the Margarito camp went and Ariza being fired this situation was a powder keg, hopefully the passion shows in the ring
So does Seckback have issues with freddie roach ? Ive seen him interview pepper roach before but never freddie
While Roach was harsh and had no right nor reason to call Garcia anything, it was Ariza that threw fuel on the flame, and decided to act like a pea****. Verbal altercations is one thing, physical is another. What if Ariza really hurt Roach? What if Roach fell down and had to be hospitalized? Arguing is ok, as long as it is harmless to fight night itself.
Roach is 53? Really!? BTW he acted, he seemed like a little kid hell bent on kicking everyone out of his room. FIFTY THREE YEARS OLD. Considering his racist remarks, Parkinsons couldn't have happened to a worse person.
Roach initiated the confrontation and escalated it by name calling. He knows everyone will back him since he is sick.
Rios, who quite honestly looks like he has Downs Syndrome, disrespects someone who has Parkinson's disease all those years ago but remained silent during the most recent incident. Maybe he learned what happened to Margarito in his fight against the same opponent after this video aired? Manny literally mashed Margarito up so bad that he changed his physical appearance forever and ruined him mentally. The dude looks like he is sporting a glass eye these days. I won't be surprised if history repeats on Saturday night in China.
While I do think Roach could have handled it better, once Ariza stared mocking Roach's Parkinson's and kicked Roach, all bets were off. It was ARIZA that caused that entire situation to become so heated Ariza has NO RIGHT to even speak in that situation. Let the 2 trainers or training camp managers work it out Ariza is just pissed he was fired by Roach and used the situation to take personal shots on Roach for another matter all together. Ariza is a disgrace PERIOD!!
Absolutely, the voice of reason. And realistically although Freddie's comments were disrespectful they were hardly hateful racist attacks. 'f@cking Mexican' or 'Jewish kid' surely being no worse than 'f@cking Englishman' or 'Irish kid'. I think I would be more insulted to be called a c*nt or a f@cking pr!ck for instance. Repeatedlymaking fun of Freddie's debilitating condition was way worse, in my opinion at least. Kicking him was inexcusable and what would Willow have done had he not been held back from charging at Freddie following Ariza's assault? Ariza, 'Puck' and Seckbach should be banished from the sport forever. I wonder if we might see a line of security across the ring on Saturday night similar to Lewis vs Tyson.
