I wonder why he told him to blow him? Nacho is pretty honest and without bias below he picked Pac to ko Cotto, Pac to beat Floyd in a 12 round decision, he also states that he thinks Juan Manuel Lopez is a humble guy that he likes and the G-d willing will become the world class fighter he is destined to become. I think Freddy had it coming with all the trash he talks. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4bya-uJ0eo[/ame]
nacho didn't tell roach to blow him because he hated him, after pac-jmm 1 roach went to shake nachos hand and nacho joked with roach and asked him to blow him, roach took it the wrong way.
I think Roach learned to train by studying under Futch. As far as trainers goes Roach has had one of the best teachers anyone can find and it seems that he has learned his lessons well.
Brother Nazim.By the way,just for the record,Roach was a devoted disciple of the late,great Eddie Futch.
Freddie Roach easily. His track record is solid, he has worked with some true greats, and never before have I observed a greater trainer's influence than that of Roach on Pacquiao. Without Roach, Pac would have stayed the same one-dimensional windmill he was in 2003. Now he is one of the most skilled fighters on the planet and one of the greatest of this age. Roach has improved him immeasurably and retains a very visible control over Pac's tactics and approach.
