what the **** is this, a round by round??? this is one of the fastest moving threads i've ever ****ing seen
Exactly. If anyone can find any quotes from Roach which are as sick or as indefensible, then I'll say "fair enough". However, when people talk about his **** talking, they are talking about him being overconfident or overly boastful. That's just hype. Roach has never said anything bad about a fighter, from what I know. If he has wished injury on anyone, then lets see some quotes.
if margarito started something, then he'd better be ready for anything....once you open that door up first, you better be ready for someone to slam it on your ass
This is just as discusting as when people laughed at Arum, when his son died, because he gave BAD UNDERCARDS for ****s sake. People here are ****ing discusting.
And I dont think this should be blown out of proportion either, it just showed alot about the character of Margarito and Rios....Jack- best posts on this thread. that about sums it up.
I think it's petty, yeah, and, honestly, I don't like to read it. I've met Roach and he was a really nice guy and totally different from the person you see in these videos. When he talks **** about fighters, I just ignore that but I don't think he's ever spiteful. I agree he does go over the top sometimes, but, to me, he would only warrant this, if he was saying things like "I hope ____ gets put in a coma". That would be as wrong as what Margarito and Rios did. He hasn't done anything that bad though, I don't think. I see what you're saying though, mate, but I don't know what Roach has said, which is as bad.
I'm one of the posters that believes Margarito knew how his hands were being wrapped.. I didn't want to at first.. But their is no way of not knowing having had my own hands wrapped a few times for fights. I honestly don't look at it as being below the belt. This is all hype.. People will say and do anything before a fight. One can only imagine how Margarito has felt over the past few months due to Roach's mouth. Hopkins throwing down a Puerto Rico flag twice? Now that is below the belt.. But Freddie Roach? The man is no saint and shoots jabs at any chance he gets.
