    Yes. (Roach will throw in the towel)
    Roach will be the reason the fight stop's, No way Pacquiao get's K.O.'d
    or quit's in the corner.

    If he really cares about Manny, then he will.

    yep. i think Roach is a little scared about this fight, and how manny will deal with oscar's power. if manny is getting rocked he'll stop it. roach knows the consequences of a bad beating.

    Some fans will be disappointed and some critics of this fight will cry foul but if you think about it, it makes perfect sense...pocket the money, leave de la Hoya without the satisfaction of having finished the job himself, and save Pacquiao to fight another day, against a fighter whom he has a better chance against.

    Hmm, I would actually be surprised to see the towel thrown in this one. It would show a lot of character on Roach's part if he stops Pacquaio while taking a beating. Roach seems to want a lot of glory, so it would show us something about him.

    No

    He'd probably still think Pac has a great chance of knocking out Oscar with one shot.

    Yes.. Roach has already stated as well that if Pac loses, not to pay him.. Pac is Roach's most prized fighter and if he saw that Pacquiao was getting hurt badly, then he would definitely throw in the towel..

    More I think about it, the more likely I think that this will be the outcome. Pacman won't be knocked out and will protest, but he'll look a brave fighter and will live to fight another day.

    Still hope he beats Oscar though.

    well if pac really gets rock'd hard best thing to do for roach is simply throw in that towel.

    Would he be assassinated in the Philippines though?

    I think it could happen, but I'd fear for his safety!
