    Roach is a drama queen. Decent trainer, but fuck.

    I enjoy Pac's fights. MAB is done. I hope he gets a highlight reel KO over MAB and sends his racist ass into retirement. Then I just want a great rematch with JMM, could care less who wins.

    Padding over Barrera's knuckles should be a good thing for Pacquiao...no? More padding less damage?

    agREED on Pac-JMM II, I have same rooting interest I had in the first fight - neither way, other than just a good fight. Though to be honest, I feel the same way about tomorrow night's fight. I picked Pac by KO (I think in 6 or 7, I forget which), but honestly don't care what happens in the fight. I don't hate either one, I probably like Pac more than Barrera, but not enough to where I'm rooting either way.

    I don't disagree with your take on Roach (the drama queen part), but I just think he's doing all he can to further fuck with Barrera.

    How is Barrera racist?

    Was it the Indian comment about Morales?

    i'm not even sure if roach is that good of a trainer. i guess trainers in the phillipines must really suck if roach was able to do what he did w/ pacquiao.

    hopkins pretty much said after thewinky fight that he couldnt even understand half the shit roach was trying to teach him.

    toney was only with him because he probably doesnt get along w/ trainers and roach is probably the only one who doesn't say shit to him when he shows up overweight.

    he said it after the winky fight at the post fight conference. he said it in a kidding manner tho. something like 'freddy roach, i dont even know what you did and i really didnt understand anything you said, but whatever it was, it must have worked.'

    I don't know why, but this reminds me of a conversation earlier today at the bank, which ended with the teller yelling out, "Oh, Happy Columbus Day." Kind of caught me off-guard, as I didn't know anyone still celebrated it, or considered it a day of honor.

    Yes, as long as there is not an excess amount of tape involved. When things get a bit iffy is when gauze and tape are alternated to make a harder knuckle pad....especially if the tape goes up to the knuckle area.

    And even THEN - it's really not a big deal; and plenty of fighters vary handwrapping techniques in such a way.

    What Freddy is describing? Nah. As Joony says, it's drama-queenish.

    And I can almost guarantee there is NO WAY it's "4 inches of gauze on the knuckles." Take your fist and hold the knuckles horizontally and measure 4"....:eeeek:

    Peace.

    Isn't that what your trainer supposed to do? I mean hell I bet William Joppy had Roach checking Tito's wraps prior to their fight. Say what you want but it appears that Roach has Manny's best interest. I'll Holla 5000
